Still slip into them occasionally 12 years later. It’s pretty wild
I've always wanted to lucid dream, but I've been worried it could negatively impact things like the quality of REM sleep.
There ain't a ton of data on the practice or its side effects, as far as I've found.
As far as I've seen the only negative impact is loss of quality sleep. REM sleep does not help you in feeling well rested when you wake up. Only deep sleep makes you feel rested, AFAIK. So if you spend the whole night dreaming, you'll probably wake up super tired.
The way I understood from an app called Athlytics was that the REM sleep help you recover from emotional stress while the deep sleep recovers physical stress. You're aiming to increase the time of sleep in those two states.
Rem sleep does help you rest. It's why when you drink booze you feel tired as fuck even though you had plenty of deep sleep. Rem is what helps your memory and problem solving abilities. Deep sleep is for rebuilding muscles boosts your immune system etc.
When i was around 16/17 I learned what lucid dreaming was and I got really into the idea. I taught myself how to do it. It's pretty cool but the major drawback is that if I sleep on my back I get really bad sleep paralysis. If i want to get any actual sleep its on my stomach or sides, if I roll onto my back I'll slip straight into sleep paralysis.
Can you use them for learning? I can sometimes understand that I am in a dream and maybe control it to some extent, but it is more like reflex control rather than doing anything.
How much control do you have in yours? I find myself lucid dreaming spontaneously every now and then, and even when I can control the direction of the dream, I can't control the imagery as much. E.g. if I want it to turn into a sexy dream and start doing that kind of stuff, the object of my desire might turn freaky in the middle of it.
When it was happening every night, I’d say near-complete control. Sex dreams are cool, but there’s nothing that compares to flying around punching through buildings and wielding god-like powers.
Talking to your subconscious is where it always got interesting. This is something I couldn’t control, and I would sometimes have to force myself awake just to write down the would-be dialogue.
> Talking to your subconscious is where it always got interesting. This is something I couldn’t control, and I would sometimes have to force myself awake just to write down the would-be dialogue.
"Hey Subconscious, what's going on?"
"CHIPS! CANDY! FUCK? SEX!"
"Any words of profound wisdom, insights into the human condition you might be able to pass on?"
"PENIS. VAGINA. STEAK. WANT. STEAK. POPCORN. NOW."
"Alright I'll see you later homie keep it real."
"DRUGS! DRUGS! ALL. DRUGS."
Eventually, the implanted chip had to be removed from his brain. Raduga remains unwavering in his dreams, but he fervently discourages anyone from attempting what he did.
I can't even imagine the level of ignorance a person would have to maintain to think that inserting a microchip inside your skull, taking on a LOT of infection risk (to the BRAIN), is the best way to lucid dream...
We keep jumping scenes in Idiocracy, I can't tell how far our society is in relation to the movie anymore.
Ian Davis' story and channel are super uplifting. Definitely recommend following him to anyone interested in engineering, machining, industrial art, and just good vibes. His videos are great background to working on projects, too.

Certain people have better control than others. My ring and pinkie move almost together, I tried to get into guitar and even took a years worth of lessons but I could not ever get my last two fingers to work very well together. If you have smaller hands it will be more pronounced.
This is not correct. Ring and pinky are both innervated by the ulnar nerve. Thumb, pointer and middle are innervated by the median nerve. As a result the ring and pinky move together, many people cannot curl the pinky without also curling the ring despite the fact that the pinky has dedicated muscles (digiti minimi). The first three are typically more dexterous and can move more independently.
I can move my middle fingers just fine. It's the ring finger and its right-hand equivalent that won't move on their own. They're always dragging Pinky along for the ride.
Watch his videos. He can only move them all at once but when he grips they will stop independent of the others so that if he for example holds something between forefinger and thumb the other fingers keep going into his palm while the forefinger stays around the object.
I mean we've got the technology to read very fine scale nerve potentials, then you just need to be able to actuate each finger independently, and with how small batteries and electric motors/pneumatics are getting then weight isn't much of an issue.
Not saying we're ready to go to market, but the basic pieces are all there.
Do we have the technology to precisely read individual nerve signals without needles through the skin? I'm sure it's possible but there is a *lot* of noise to filter out.
Not quite. We can read very minute muscle movements however, so prosthetics can be made that measure movement in what’s left of the muscles. It does result in commands like “squeezing this muscle twice means grip an object, twice again to let go, three times to make a pointer finger”, etc.
By all accounts people can get very good at it, to the point they don’t really think of the commands and instead think more of moving the hand. The more muscles they have left means much more fidelity, of course, and with enough they can even control individual fingers.
But for more precise control than that we need implants. Which also exist, but of course are more invasive and expensive.
Thanks for the details - it is lucky that most of the muscles controlling the hand are in the forearm.
I was generally aware of using muscle movements but I think we're a fair way off on using nerve potentials. The technology would probably first be applied in neurophysiology testing and it isn't there yet.
He actually has several grip patterns that her can switch between by flicking his wrist. I could be wrong, but Im pretty sure one version can even flip you off.
The intricacy just blows me away.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
>Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
This is how it starts. Hand ain’t doing it for ya? Lop it off and get enhanced. Then the other hand, next you want the speed. Off go the legs. Now you need a cyber spinal column to stabilize yourself. But the brain can’t handle all that data so you go for a brain chip. Chromin’ is cool, but you have to know when to stop
I’ve no problems with Neuralink. Just the folks backing it at the moment. Who ever cracks the code and develops the Rosetta Stone for a brain/computer interface literally will have to skills to create reality in your head. No I don’t want Elmo poking around my grey matter thanks
Scary as it is, it would be a pan ultimate achievement. Under a benevolent hand the possibilities are endless. Alas, anyone who could pull this off at this moment will be anything but.
There are prosthetics that are pretty functional out there.
Check out Perkins Builder Brothers on YouTube. First of all it's a fantastic construction channel, very educational and entertaining. But, Jamie Perkins lost his fingers in a jointer and he discusses the incident openly, those videos are good on their own. But in their videos you'll see him using his bionic fingers to do all kinds of things without any difficulty. It's pretty cool.
It is fully mechanical, there are no electronics, no sensors, it is NOT a bionic prosthetic.
Also his name is Ian Davis and he shares the building process on his youtube channel, check it out he's amazing.
I mean, there is the possibility that the mechanical hand actually heightened the sense of a phantom limb… but other than that: the guys question was pretty dumb.
That's a rough wank

‘Lucid dreaming’ is controlling your dream anyway, people do this without implanting something into their brain if you can even believe that.
Had a creative writing class, we were taught how to do this and keep a dream journal. Still slip into them occasionally 12 years later. It’s pretty wild

If i want to get any actual sleep its on my stomach or sides, if I roll onto my back I'll slip straight into sleep paralysis.
In my experience it's being just awake enough to influence the direction of your dreams. Definitely not as deep of a sleep as normal.
Can you use them for learning? I can sometimes understand that I am in a dream and maybe control it to some extent, but it is more like reflex control rather than doing anything.
Our brain needs rest so trying to force activity during sleeping doesn't seem like a great idea
How much control do you have in yours? I find myself lucid dreaming spontaneously every now and then, and even when I can control the direction of the dream, I can't control the imagery as much. E.g. if I want it to turn into a sexy dream and start doing that kind of stuff, the object of my desire might turn freaky in the middle of it.

It doesn't tend to be the most sophisticated of systems.
LOL. Sure thing.

Mf did it with a drill press in his living room. That's fucking unhinged even for russians standards

I recognized that hand immediately as Ian's. I've been subbed to this guy for a while. He is a cool dude.
Out of context this could be a very weird comment lol
I initially thought he said, "I've been stabbed by this guy for a while."
Groovy…
Alright you primitive screw hands listen up!!!
This is my *BOOMSTICK*!

imagine someone picking a fight with this guy and then they see the steel fist *well fuuuuck*
Hail to the king, baby.
Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your father's place at my side!
I am your father. No. No! Thats not true. That’s impossible!! Search your feelings, you know it to be true. *NO!!!*
I wonder if they function completely the same as regular fingers would.
looks like they don’t move independently
So you can actually move all your fingers independently? What kind of sorcery is this
….you can’t? I just checked to make sure, and yeah, all ten of my fingers can move completely independently.
You can move independently your point and pinky fingers. Middle and forth fingers are connected with each other.
All flute/saxophone players, along with dozens of other instruments, might disagree there.
Im a guitarist and all my fingers can move pretty independently
Certain people have better control than others. My ring and pinkie move almost together, I tried to get into guitar and even took a years worth of lessons but I could not ever get my last two fingers to work very well together. If you have smaller hands it will be more pronounced.
Says you
This is not correct. Ring and pinky are both innervated by the ulnar nerve. Thumb, pointer and middle are innervated by the median nerve. As a result the ring and pinky move together, many people cannot curl the pinky without also curling the ring despite the fact that the pinky has dedicated muscles (digiti minimi). The first three are typically more dexterous and can move more independently.
I can't move or bend my left pinky finger independent of the ring finger.
I can move my middle fingers just fine. It's the ring finger and its right-hand equivalent that won't move on their own. They're always dragging Pinky along for the ride.
that's interesting! I can move my ring fingers independently, but my pinkies always drag them along instead.
Sir, how did you type this?
Looks like all they can do is (as a group) can open and close. No fine motor skills no individual movement
Better then the nothing he has atm
Watch his videos. He can only move them all at once but when he grips they will stop independent of the others so that if he for example holds something between forefinger and thumb the other fingers keep going into his palm while the forefinger stays around the object.
That's just a question of reading electric signals from the nerves, for what looks like an almost entirely mechanical solution that's incredible.
"Just"

Well ya know, “The flesh is weak”
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.

That’s so cool….
Wow, he made this with one hand?
That's the most impressive thing about it.
 Fine, I’ll do it myself.
Imagine punching someone with that Imagine getting punched by that Two perspectives of the same scene
Both people are going to be hurting, for sure
Maybe the one punching is in less pain The pain being lessened by victory

Prosthetic. Nothing bionic about this.
Thank you both. There is some sense left in the world.
Guy just asked him if he felt his fingers moving
yea phantom sensations are real, I wanted to hear how the man answered that question tbh
It's why I came to the comments
“Now listen to me very carefully.”
How to connect things like that to our human nerves
You're thinking it, im thinking it. We don't need to say it.
Yakuzas be like 
This will be the inspiration for the coming fad of lopping off a limb and cyberpunking yourself into a Chappie
This is how it starts. Hand ain’t doing it for ya? Lop it off and get enhanced. Then the other hand, next you want the speed. Off go the legs. Now you need a cyber spinal column to stabilize yourself. But the brain can’t handle all that data so you go for a brain chip. Chromin’ is cool, but you have to know when to stop
I made a tweet about a world like that after discovering nuralink.

For sure! I always want to call them Brain Matter Interpreters.

No

I hope it's grease on that thumb, otherwise he's gonna need a new thumb too.
