Is a difference between daydreaming and lucid dreaming?

Best Answers

Because they are both internally generated, reporting of these states is a subjective task. I'll give you my personal view of the differences, which I think most lucid dreamers would roughly agree with: While day dreams are fun (research shows we day dream for 70-120 minutes every day) they are really just waking thoughts. read more

Again, lucid dreams and day dreams are very different, although these differences are harder to measure. Because they are both internally generated, reporting of these states is a subjective task. read more

Day dreaming is naturally limited to a relaxed Alpha state while awake. Lucid dreaming enlightens us that consciousness is not a precise indication of wakefulness. So if you experience a false reality, it doesn't mean that you must be conscious, you are just simply having a day dream. read more
