Finally! Michio Kaku confirms that lucid dreams are a real and repeatable phenomenon.
I was getting worried that they weren't, as my own experience with lucid dreams is simply unreliable anecdotal evidence that I tell myself. I mean, who'd be dumb enough to trust their own experience? Not me! That's why I have so many unpaid bills. Until science confirms them for me, they're just anecdotal evidence. I don't see any scientists outside actually observing my electricity meter.
And this is coming from a prominent quantum physicist, a member of a group that posits that the reality we experience isn't the real reality, but a fragment of a super reality where every possibility plays out. So, what it is, is that we just happen to be living in one of the realities where lucid dreams turn out to be real. No big deal. Has to happen somewhere.
And the unconscious mind is real too! Who knew? I'd always figured that the unconscious was a myth and that all the memories I have are stored in a magic box somewhere and transferred to my brain over wifi when needed.
But seriously, this is pretty cool. I don't need science to confirm my own experience. But it's nice to know that it has.
