A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Lucid dreams lie right on the boundary between awake and a normal dream. It's very easy to either wake, or fall back into a non lucid state. Best bet is not to try and change too much, unless you want to wake up. A few nudges, and relax and let it roll onwards (for normal dreams, not nightmares).

I should try something like that next time I try to go lucid. Somehow I only stuck to flying around and flying through walls whenever I knew I was dreaming... feels like a waste now that I think of firing guns or using telekinesis.
