1 week till I HACK MY BRAIN.

Perhaps you can try making your blind spot appear as black instead of using the remarkably good predictive/analytical powers of your brain to fill it in. Of course, you can’t prove it to anybody else, but you can prove it to yourself. However you can’t really know whether it worked until you wake up (for the same reason as why the nose-seeing RC works) and I seriously doubt this could happen.

I think the foetus might spend a lot of time sleeping - I read that somewhere - it’s certainly a good way for the brain to ‘figure out’ perspective and therefore blind spots

yarr, I’m still waiting for results and a description of how they did it! I was planning on talking to DCs, but perhaps you guys have a better method. I’mma lookin!

I don’t know how far you are into lucid dreaming, but here’s what I’ve gathered from my experience. The expression “just a dream” is equivalent to saying “just a phenomenon”. Its an oxymoron that has been generally accepted as fact in our society.

To me, lucid dreaming seems the most reliable way of controlling your brain and delving into the unconscious. I’ve been talking with a friend about meditation, and while I am very interested in that as well, it seems to be the opposite of lucid dreaming. In some forms of meditation, you are supposed to let go and lose all control, where as in the best forms of lucid dreaming you have near total control.

Talking about going in an “editing” the mind may be a little far fetched --the brain does not work like a computer, although comparisons are constantly made-- however, its been shown before that changes ARE very possible, and while it may not be as simple as point and click, I am sure you could go in there and drop some stuff in the mind and scurry out without anyone noticing.

Be careful though, this is your brain we’re talking about. I personally would not go making “demands” for anything. Persuasion seems to be more powerful than force up there.

Sub-conscious brain perfecting 2moro!

Well…maybe lol.

Pedro if u havent thought of this already i was wondering if you could teach urself stuff a lot faster by editing it in ur sub c. Like since the sub c records everything could u read through a language just 1 time. then in a LD make it so that it was common knowledge to u and you could know it all then instead of memorizing it for a couple months. ???
you seem like you have a lot going for u with being able to LD at will and be very good at it too. I hope u can make sum advances for us when we cant yet.

The idea that the subconscious “records” everything is not really proven, and if fact more recent and stringent study shows that so called memories
evoked by electrical stimulation, hypnosis, etc, are more likely to be
constructions of the mind based on individual elements of memory.
Very much like DREAMING is!! There’s no good HARD evidence that actual
memories are stored like a recording.
The mind it seems, is always in construction mode, making sense out
of the universe it experiences by interpretation and creation.
The “VCR” model of the brain could very well be just another popular myth.

So, where’s the report!!??!!

Uh-oh, maybe he hacked his brain real good…

Yeah no joke.

Well I’ll bet he’ll make his way back here some day, without conciously knowing why.
Or maybe he’s figured out how to slip over into the dream world, and leave his unconciousness in this one. If only we had a physical discription we might be able to identify him and put up posters.

Keep your dream eyes open!

well a few months later and still no report!

ohhh well

SO PEdro, where is the Report

hmm?

has he posted ANY replies since that last one?

cos if he hasnt then. well? you decide for yourself

Pedro’s brain is definitely a done deal…

If he doesnt post again, it should be a warning to all, that this is what people REALLY die in their sleep from =P

maybe he messed up and told his subcoincious to forget everything and doesnt even remember anything about lucid dreaming. or maybe even worse! maybe he really really screwed up and forgot EVERYTHING and he is just an empty body with no memory of anything and lives in some mental institute?

or maybe hes just lazy?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is a great thread lol! Enjoyed that lol.

SORRY GUYS! I’m here and my brain is in total working order…I think.

I came across a problem…it didn’t work lol. BUT I’m not gave up and I’m gonna try again. I thought I could do this the same way I create false memories but I’ve realized it’s a totally different thing. So I’m currently planning my new strategy…I think I can do it!

Anyway, yeah I’ve not messed anything up too much in my head!

good to hear

sheesh. all that suspense for nothing. I’ll report here that my ventures with hypnosis have come out to absolutely nothing…

well heres my story about false memories:

Once i was in line at the movie theatre in real life. I didnt bother to get cash out of my car because i had my wallet in my pants, and i REMEMBERED that i had 20 bucks in my wallet, because i had a memory of pulling the wallet out and opening it and seeing 20$. Bear in mind that this memory was real and believable, and i truly remembered seeing toe 20$ in my wallet and i was sure it was still there.

Well, i go to pay for the movie, adn i open my wallet… and it’s empty. I am like “WTF”.

then, i start thinking back, and i realize that i dont remember where that supposed 20$ came from? how did i earn it? where did it come from?

and tehn i realized that i had NEVER had 20$ in my wallet in the first place. And suddenly i remembered that that scene (seeing 20$ in my wallet) was actually a scene from a dream.
And then i remembered the surrounding events of the dream, and i knew for a fact that it had been a dream.

So the point is, my mind had integrated and retrieved the dream momory of having 20$, and it did not distinguish where that memory had come from (dreams or reality). My real world conscious beleifs in that moment while standing in line was that i had 20$, exactly the same as if i had seen the 20$ in real life.

and i also have other similar experiences, though much less clear.

Like several times, for example, i might have sodas or some supply of objects. Well, i will use them up in a dream (like, for example, i will eat the last piece of pie in a dream.)

Well, later in real life, i will find myself with the memory and assumption that i used up the last supply (of whatever).
So i am all depressed, thinking to myself, “great im thirsty and i used up all the soda.”

But then i wil lopen the fridge and see that there is still some there.
And then i will realize that it was only in a dream that i used up the last of the soda or whatever. SOmetimes i dont even remember what happened in the dream, only that my memory is obviously false.
ANd i get a nice surprise because there is soda left!

(let me add that theis has only happened a few times. SO its not like i am crazy and go around with false memories and false expectations.
Its relatively rare and only with small details (like soda or money), never soemthing big like “my grandma dies in a dream” and then i find out shes alive.

Firstly, I think that it could be possible to influence your subconscious a bit in a lucid dream. I think it would work a lot better than self-suggestion, but not nearly as good as hypnosis.

Secondly, I don’t think that it would be possible to do something as extreme as creating false memories. And definitely not to fill in your blind spot with blackness - That’s something that’s an entirely automatic feature of your brain and it’s not even under the control of your subconscious. Maybe you could make it go black for the duration of the dream, or, even better, for the rest of your dreams that week! (someone should try this, it would be pretty impressive).

Thirdly, I think messing with your subconscious at all is a really bad idea. If you tell your subconscious what to do, where to go or whatever, then it is like imposing barriers and boundaries on something that should be able to roam free.

heh, that could make a plot for a quite cool film - A guy can’t remember anything about anything, except that he has a ridiculous urge to log onto the internet and check the messages in a forum he’s never heard of and reads some posts that he gradually realizes were made by him earlier, saying that he was going to try and wipe his memory via a lucid dream. Or something. It’s probably been done before by some other films except slightly differently.

Actually, some self-hypnosis is very similar to WILD.

Pedro says he already managed false memories. As for the blind spot, everything in your brain is under control of your subconcious. Only automatic reactions aren’t controlled by the brain, and even then, many of them are.

The blind spot doesn’t exist in dreams as the whole image is created by your brain directly. It would be maybe even harder to make your blind spot black in a dream than in real life! A simple proof of this is that many people cannot see their nose in dreams when they close one eye. This is used as a reality check.

What your subconcious does is totally “its” choice.

Certainly!
