Conscious Mental Stillness in Dreams: Two Different Effects

Abstract

One of the advantages of being an isolated spontaneous lucid dreamer without any other lucid dreamers around to compare notes with, is that you may weather some very weird experiences years before someone else tells you their traditional names (if there are any). While this may not feel like an advantage while you are trying to integrate what happened without much in the way of verbal tools, it does make the reality more authentic, because no one had ever suggested that such a thing could be.
