    A study suggests that very subtle electricity transmited externally on the head stimulates significantly lucid dreaming. We know about Tibetans Dream Yoga, a culture curiously developed in very hight altitude lands. In hight altitudes electricity is even seen, at night, when we experience friction between surfaces –for intance, you can see and hear blue sparks when taking out a sweater in the dark.

    On the other hand, in modern civilization we are used to isolate ourselves from the ground, by plastic soles, making it not possible for the atmosphere charge to be canalized through us to the ground.

    Connecting these statements, we might not only think about “how to”, but also about physics, cultural habits and human evolution.

    Interesting thoughts.

    “…we might not only think about “how to”, but also about physics, cultural habits and human evolution…” – Agree. There is so much to tap into. So little has been explored in those areas. I think this will change though over the next few decades. Lucid dreaming is just becoming more known through the internet now.
    I certainly would like to see more surveys and statistics on how lucid dreaming is impacted by ones cultural background. I think people living in countries with Eastern Philosophies are much more used to lucid dreaming due to their meditation practices and perspectives thereof.

    I can’t wait for science to connect quantum physics with our various states of consciousness during sleep. 🙂

    Ojalá!

    By the way, being the subject (LD) intrinsecal in a culture means it is in the colective inconscious, that is it’s always there, present. That is exactly like electricity being physically available in the atmosphere to be driven by our bodies.

    Knowing that it is there for us is like the placebo effect, that sometimes (because it depends on the person) works for lucid dreaming. I remember the case of the woman that read an article about LD on the newspaper, and thus knowing for the first time she lucid dreamed that very night.

    And coming back, if it were a wheel, its amazing how LD takes us to understanding when in the East they talk about a butterfly dreaming a man, or about being asleep while awake…

    Thank you.
