Lucid dreams and type
I started wondering if some types are more likely to lucid dream than others.
Last night I had a dream in which I noticed my mental state felt weird. I tried meditating and i found I could enter the trance state really quickly. I started hearing the rushing noises that I get right before an OBE. I thought this was really weird, and I tried to figure out why. I remembered this happening a few other times, when I had too much pot. I didn't FEEL stoned, but I also couldn't remember to save my life, so I figured it must have been the pot. The rest of the dream was me trying to remember what happened earlier in the night/dream, until some sound woke me up. This is one of the few times my dreams weren't lucid, because I managed to come up with a different explanation for why I felt how I did than "I must be dreaming".
I think my tendency to obsess over the "mood" of the place and what factors are contributing to it might make it easier for me to lucid dream. I'd imagine NFs, and maybe NTs, would be better at lucid dreaming. I also think taking hallucinogens and experiencing drastically altered states of consciousness makes you more aware of various elements of your consciousness that you didn't previously know could be turned up or down a notch.
What are your thoughts?
