The only meaning to be found in dreams is what you create with your intent. It doesn't seem like many people are at the level where they are using their own intent to create and change their dreams. Dreams where you are just reacting to what is happening to you can be interesting but ultimately are devoid of meaning. Dreams are essentially fantastical a virtual reality to keep you contained and occupied. Very few people are able to break free from the dream cage and truly go off grid.

I wonder if this realm is just a game, but I tend to lean on the side of trap. I mean my life seems scripted, and when I dream I am much more aware and have many memorys but when I wake a veil covers my face and I go through another day of clown world hardcore edition.

You experience reality through your material body's senses. It is definitely true that there is more going on in reality than what you experience through your senses, and that there are ways to expand sensory awareness. Hynagogia seems to be an example of sensory awareness that extends beyond the traditional 5 senses. While experiencing hynagogia with my eyes closed I experience pulsating lights/colors that I can 'see'. If I open my eyes and stare at my ceiling when the lights are off I have noticed that I can see the same pulsating lights/colors superimposed over what my reality eyes are looking at. I am essentially 'seeing' through something that is not my eyes while simultaneously seeing through my material eyes. I like to think of this as seeing though my dream body eyes or 'third eye' while the dream body eyes are closed. Sometimes right after I wake up while my material eye are still closed I can 'see' through my dream eyes that are still open, but it doesn't last very long.

When you are asleep you are experiencing dream reality through your dream body's senses. When you are in your full formed dream body full memory 'solid dream narrative' phase, the experiences you have while dreaming are essentially the same as the experiences you have in normal reality in the sense that they are stored in your memory in the same way. I can pull up plenty of dream memories and remember them in the same capacity that I can pull up reality memories. My dream body sensory experiences are stored in memory in the same way that my reality body sensory experiences are stored.

The thing about dreaming is your sense of reason is inhibited. You can think in kind of the same like 'I'm going to go here and do this.'. But when weird dream things are happening you don't think 'That's really weird that this bird is dancing around and saying things to me.'. Obviously when you become lucid you are disrupting the 'dream thought inhibitor', but when you think about it why is your thought being inhibited? Is your reality thought process being inhibited in some way too?

One thing that happens a lot in my dreams is that I will go looking for something like my car that I was driving or my backpack or someone I was with earlier. I start trying to go back the way I came but things are never the same. I never am able to find what I am looking for I just start wandering around and a hallway turns into another and I just get lost in a maze of what seems like procedural generated 3d dream reality. And I don't think 'This isn't what was here before!'. I just keep wandering until I realize 'This is a stupid waste of time!' and wake up. That's why I feel like dreams are a virtual reality containment zone. The world is procedurally generated and my sense of reason is inhibited. The goal is to be triggered by this type of experience and become lucid but that very rarely happens.

Another thing that happens is if I am in one place more and more people are procedurally generated. One time I was at work doing office stuff, but as I went along more and more people were in the office where I was working. I work in a small office so eventually I thought 'Why are so many people in this office?'. That time I was actually triggered into realizing that I was dreaming so I just left and started doing my own thing.

Breaking script in dreams seems rather significant. Why is there a script? Why are you supposed to follow a script while not thinking its weird that you are following a script? The prevailing feeling is that I am supposed to be doing this. Material reality is essentially like this. People are generally in a rut where they repeat the same patterns. You are not supposed to get up and walk out in the middle of work. You are supposed to 'stay on script' and people get mad at you when you don't. If you are more used to not 'following a script' in reality it might be easier to become lucid in dreams. I have gotten the 'this is a movie, I know the script' feeling plenty of times. The feeling is meant to keep you engaged in what is being presented to you. There is no good reason to stay engaged, but you feel compelled to. When you break script and leave you are still being fed a procedurally generated pseudo-reality but the procedurally generated pseudo-reality is generated on the fly instead of following along with the prepared containment content.

like my mind in recollection doesnt seem to unfog, its like 'is this a dream' then 'oh it is' once i test
