OK...So does this bother anyone besides me? The sleep that David was in was called "Lucid Dreams", yet Lucid dreams are dreams in which the person dreaming is aware that they are dreaming while they are dreaming. David was not aware that he was dreaming until the end...soooooo how is this a Lucid Dream?
shareIt's not. They just (erroneously) call it one.
Don't listen to the negative ones; their arguments are irrational.
a lucid dream as a predetermined dream? They created a way for you to sleep and 'think'/dream how YOU want...start to finish/birth to death, its just that David couldn't keep up with his perfect scenario - David's remorse was stronger than his will to dream a beautiful life pre-determined by him, kinda like a lucid dream.
shareIndeed. Not only that, there are two other things to think about.
1. Lucid dreams can be derailed by powerful thoughts/things within the dream. Memories can be triggered within the Lucid state that transfer over regardless if one knows it's real or not.
2. A dreamer isn't lucid until they RC (reality check). In David's case, he had two common reality checks... A Dream Character (well in his case the tech support guy) telling him what was happening (which I have experienced... many lucid dreamers have recurring dream guides), and a DC being totally stumped by a question (when Kurt Russell's character was asked what his daughter's names were).
So really it's actually quite conducive to LDing.

A marketing name to get people to add it to their package.
You don't need to read this, it's just my sig.
It's just a name of a product. While the dreamer isn't aware they're dreaming at the time, they get to choose what they'll dream ahead of time, so they're in control in that sense.
Calling it a "dream" isn't really accurate in the first place. It's a computer constructed virtual reality program.
It became a lucid dream, now, didn't it? And in lucid dreams, you control your environment; which he also did.
