Sight seeing in the dream world
Last night I was on a bus in a dream and became lucid. This is the first time I've been on a bus in a lucid dream, instead of going on a rampage like I usually do when I become lucid, I stayed in my seat and looked out the window. It was amazing. At first my brain was coming up with scenery that looked kinda like my normal bus route from home to college (i.e. warehouses, factories etc.) but all of a sudden we were out in the countryside on a road by a cliff facing the sea and I could see an set of islands. It was one of the most impressive sceneries I have ever seen, its very rare to see anything like that in real life. I stayed on this bus for a good while looking out the window and funnily enough, the dream kept going. Usually my main problem in lucid dreams is that when I become lucid, the dream ends very easily and a way to overcome that I discovered is to keep moving. Thats why I go on rampages because when I keep moving and never stop to look at anything for too long, the dream keeps going. I found out that driving cars has the same effect. Well sitting on a bus, looking out the window has the same effect too.
This further validates my theory. My theory is that when the brain has to constantly keep creating new scenery, then the dream keeps going for some reason. It doesn't work as well when I fly though which is strange. Maybe its because I have no experience with flying in real life.
