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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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 dreaming is like being Neo in The Matrix (dubvee.org)

I've tried and failed to train myself to do it, but I've only lucid dreamed twice in my life, both times by accident.

It's like the ultimate VR sandbox where you can go, do, or create anything you can imagine.

I've had good luck with just repeatedly counting my fingers during my waking hours. Also, to keep me lucid and not lose it, I will literally touch grass in my dream and it kind of ground me, which is funny in it's own way. Keeping a journal is also important.

Keep trying because it's a lot of fun!
