The scenes were so vivid that I noticed even the small details, then after a month, I went to another place I never been yet, then it happened, my dream being replayed LIVE around me. It was so weird, I hope there is someone here who can explain to me my experience.

I have noticed that a good third or so of all my dreams take place in circumstance the same as or very similar to those when I was a child (roughly ages 5 - 10). I have a theory that much of our dreamworld landscape is fabricated during this time and then drawn on in later years.nnAnyway, enjoy yours when they happen. I have learned that many people have never had a lucid dream, and those who have generally report them as being far too infrequent. Speaking of childhood dreams.

In other words, we have the equivalent of a computer's graphic processing unit that we use all the time simply to interpret the real world, but which is also in use during sleep.nnI also think it has a short memory buffer because when I pick up a newspaper or book to read while dreaming I can see all the words as clear as a real newspaper, and can read them. But as my eye moves along the text, if I then go back a word or two they have changed to be replaced with identical looking but quite different words. Also I think this is mainly a visual and not a comprehension thing because the words (although they are real) form nonsense sentences.nnI am currently trying to see how 'intelligent' the characters I meet in lucid dreams are. They seem to use very short sentences and I am not sure whether I actually hear what they say or just know it. In a funny incident while recently lucid dreaming one character told me very clearly that my dream name was Kevin! But I still can't remember if I heard the words. Lucid dream exploring and understanding is something that takes years to piece together...

Every now and then, about 2 times every 6 months it returns and I can control almost everything. I love it when it happens. I had dreams like that as a child, as well.

On a number of these occasions, I have been as spellbound as you have been in the staggering detail of the dreamscape. So much so that I have made a point to pan around and see how accurately the sense of 3d is maintained. And it is very plausible. There have been places that I really cannot ever remember visiting. But even I had been there, I would expect it impossible for a 3d record to be maintained in such detail. So my brain must generate this in real time as it were.nnEither way, no one seems to be interested in why or how! To generate a plausible, detailed 3d landscape in real time with no sensory input is hard to believe.nnWhat are your thoughts on this? I have dreamed lucidly a few times in recent years.
