You say I don't understand something, when you don't understand the psychology I understand, and you don't understand how you think the way you do about the spiritual sense stuff because you do not have science to understand it or check if its even real, you are just thinking its real and you are so special one in 70million. More than that much people think they can do it, and none of them can. Also pets have different senses, they can hear and smell better, and might have their own interests or fears leading them. Its got nothing to do with it. But w/e, theres no getting through to you so lets just call it a day I guess.

That's psychological priming and confirmation bias. No study has proven such a thing exists. At best dowsers can sense sensitive electromagnetic changes to find underground water supplies from what I have researched, everything else was debunked. Also '2' is not a statistically relevant number, especially when its two claims and not two evidences. The human mind is a very flawed organ. Like optical illusions for example show the limitations of our cognition.

Its fake. Its easy to fake those things for youtube, just ask a friend or family to help. its a gimmick.

The brain is not smart subconsciously speaking. It has operant and classical conditioning which may very well just be you associating your phone with siri due to the videos and talking to siri. Its like a Ouija board, bias/placebo leads into confirmation bias leads into belief leads into feedback psychologically. The problem is from not using deduction, and from using induction. Here is am example 'Siri might be evil, lets see how she is evil *sees video, evil is confirmed*' That's an example of induction. An example of deduction is working backwards. Like, you take the result (youtubers claiming its evil) and work backwards from there. We can ask, what motivates youtubers? Attention causes growth, growth means more money and views means more money, so it works short term and long term to lie about it to make it more interesting. That leads into the result of 'hey guys siri is like totally evil n stuff', it worked backwards, its deduction. The problem with deduction is it depends on your problem solving skills and memory, and the problem with induction is blind trust and confirmation bias. To explain confirmation bias, its when we make the mistake of confirming our answers then thinking its all the evidence we need. Like, I ask if Siri is evil, siri brings up evil topics, therefore siri is evil. Um, it probably only brought up evil topics (result, then cause (deduction)) because you asked if it was evil? Or like, Siri is monotone, it creeps you out because of psychological priming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(psychology) you were told she is creepy n evil, so you see if she is creepy and evil subconsciously, so you without realizing it are on the lookout for her acting or seeming evil. And she is monotone and stuff, its creepy to people more naturally like how dolls can be creepy to people, because it resembles humans but is not one, some people are doll phobic for example. Then it just leads into 'oh god she is so evil you can tell' when theres no tangible evidence even remotely suggesting its evil empirically. Also the nurse doctor priming example, instinct is faster processed (fear) than logic, because the frontal and prefrontal cortex take longer to reach the brain stem, so in times of 'danger' the brain is less logical and more instinctual, which means its easier to see how its evil because it promotes fear rather than logic, when you are primed to be afraid.

Oh that does make sense then. Like, if you did somehow find a way to enjoy lucid dreams she might be the topic then you would hate reality in comparison(if you took advantage of the fact she was in your dreams) and might actually end up worse. But I guess you do specifically mention how wrong it seems, Perhaps you already tried to enjoy the lucid dream her but it came off as surreal or uncanny, so its impossible. Reminds me of a villain's back story in Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro manga (the manga is far superior to the anime). The villain wanted to recreate his wife as an ai. Then he uploaded his brain then it killed him upon realizing their dream would not become recognized, and that it was for his own good(he was stuck in denial). Then it tried world domination because why not lol.

True. But if its say, 'spirit science' or something similar its a sham honestly. Sounds like they wanted to share some spooky stories because people enjoy those, sorta like creepy pasta videos. Or if there might be minor potential evidence, its usually like not really an occurrence and is usually fabricated outside the video or is a misunderstanding, or if people are selling a book about it its usually bogus as well. Because it means they got all that attention to sell a book for money. Youtube has its own financial incentives, there are plenty of dishonest channels out there and some that abuse click-bait and such. Topics that make people scared turn up more people, like how the news works. If people are scared they get personally invested into finding out more to prevent their danger. This appeals to that because 'gee I could die in my sleep at any time!' would scare some people. And those it doesn't scare theres a sorta dark curiosity people can have also so are curious about it. Now if we had a real lucid dreaming video with techniques, it quickly becomes technical and loses people who don't have a good attention span or if it doesn't come off as entertaining. It sounds like a boring lecture, why do that when you can hear about crazy things like astral projection(which is only a dream but taking place cognitively alternatively or in a manner that makes you suspect its real., because no evidence has been found for astral projection that wasn't false or exaggerated Like one story about a lady seeing a red shoe in her death bed after floating up, the red shoe on the roof, was actually visible from the window and wasn't the roof directly above her, sensationalism just twisted it around and people have installed photos that people cannot see unless they float, so if they describe those accurately then its determined they are telling the truth, and they found how to cause out of body experiences and not one could say what was in the photos.). A good way to make sure someone is telling the truth, or not, is to ask and check for sources of information then see if you can find anything wrong with it. Like one guy toting the out of body experience stuff was selling a book, and has 'unreleased' evidence he suggests strongly is true, but nothing more. Or the study was done improperly in which case you need to take the time to analyze how the study actually works to see if its messed up or not, and even then they could simply lie about the results to make it look real which is why we do peer reviewed studies, and the peer review studies tend to show its not so for questionable things. Not to be a party pooper or anything I am just concerned how readily you believe sketchy stuff.

Drug dependence is because of psychological changes and breathing is controlled by the brain as an instinct. You would need brain damage or something else to cause people such an issue, in which case lucid nightmares are a side effect not a cause. Like runny nose isn't an illness, its a symptom of the illness. But if that's a real average surely you can link me to where you found those numbers out? And even then it'd be death by suffocation or neurological degeneracy causing rage or psychotic behavior or malformed sleep-walking, it would never professionally be called or have evidence for the concept of lucid nightmares. Like pirates of the caribean. One person said, those pirates leave no survivors. Then Sparrow said where do the stories come from then if there are no survivors? Similarly if one has a lucid nightmare and dies, there can be no evidence. And if one has a nightmare or night-terror and lives, its not evidence that lucid nightmares are even a lethal thing.

Odd. So you end up focusing on the nature of the dream itself, rather than taking advantage of infinite possibility so that you don't even notice or care about the flaws. Try treating it like a game or something. In fact it seems like you might only lucid dream because of your attention to detail, then you know its not real, which causes a lucid dream where you notice you are dreaming and it bothers you? Just try and do super powers or if your hands look weird turn into someone else. Don't stop moving, keep traveling. Pretend its a self-generated VR that you can summon anything or do anything or be anywhere. Did you try that stuff before? You do know some stories are fabricated too, right? And just because their friend died next to them does not mean it was a lucid nightmare that causes death, if the story is real at all (besides, there still needs to be cause of death if their friend died next to them, so what was it? Theres no diagnoses or evidence for dreaming to death). Coincidences happen especially in dreams, but he could've subconsciously noticed his friend stopped breathing as studies suggest nightmares try communicating between the subconscious and conscious mind is one scientific theory. Besides if dreams kill people I would've died dozens of times by now. Besides stories =/= evidence, blind studies with a large enough sample size is. Case studies definitely are not because they are quite easily fabricated, like haunted house stories some people admit to faking it. Same with near death stories. Some people just like the attention.

It used to be Sephiroth Kingdom Hearts 2, then I realized how to equip other keyblades then he got too easy, and now I can beat him on my second try without playing kh games for years. My current one tho, I would have to take a moment to think about it. Songi from Legend of Legaia was memorable but I would say it matters what level you are more than what strat so ehhh. First real epic boss I fought was in Megaman Legends when I was little. Megaman Juno A more modern boss, I have no idea so far.

Moon butt is best butt #27

That might just be a creepy pasta story, but if its a real story for all we know an assassin is doing it and blaming it on the kid of all people. Or maybe the kid is abused so decided to do it. There would be no evidence for it being a lucid nightmare besides myth, because they die, so if it did or did not happen people wouldn't know. So there is no evidence for it, literally there can't be evidence for it, which means it has to be made up in the instances people claim it is a lucid nightmare. I mean sure, they could sleep walk do it or something. But that's not the same thing as a lucid nightmare. And the media would love to scare people, because it generates viewership. And why are you smiling after, maybe you are just lying and get a kick to tell people in this thread. Because its not happy news and you smile? Sounds dishonest to me.

Should give em out to kids during christmas

Give me some evidence people have died during those, that sounds unbelievable like the gimmick from The Matrix, sounds fictional. Besides if it did happen, how would we find out, cuz they would just die in their sleep due to stroke or something so even if it happened we wouldn't have evidence and without evidence you would not be able to make an accurate claim. But I have had nightmares where I intentionally wake up to avoid them. Also dreams where I knew I was dreaming and died in them causing me to wake up. I think its influenced from gaming, like you keep going til you get game over for some of them, arcade-like. Or dying in the dream might cause enough adrenaline or such to get me up for the morning. They say lucid dreams and nightmares tend to be in the morning, because that's when people wake up and are more likely to remember them due to waking up.

In my head I have analytical and explanatory commentary. Sometimes its ocd tier sometimes it doesn't exist and sometimes it goes into a self-awareness loop of analyzing my analyzing. Sometimes I even explain mundane things, its a way to keep busy I suppose when my brain isn't doing anything else. Doesn't always happen.

Wut

NVM I got confused I edited that post, and thought u meant start a new topic cuz it was suggestive potentially, I thought we were gonna keep it in this topic, my assumption.

Huh? I thought we were going to keep it in this topic but swap the mad lib.

Derpy messed up her eyes from doing yoga on a factory conveyor belt. Chrysalis wants to ____ with you to steal your love for food.

I am not sure I have one I most enjoy, I would rather eat chips ahoy. Broccoli is selectable, because its healthy rather than delectable. What is your favorite part of a pony's anatomy? I don't mean it to be lewd please don't get mad-at-me.
