Dreamscape Physics

[bennyboy]

I dream a lot and over the years, I have had many dreams and when I'm aware that I'm dreaming, powers often manifest.

Last night for example, I was trying to punch through a concrete wall. I hit it very hard with my fist several times, but it didn't seem like I was having any effect on it.
I went outside to see if anything happened to the other side of the wall and sure enough, half of the thickness of the wall had crumbled down.
I went back and punched again. I could feel the pain in my hands as it hit the wall and the joy as the wall finally came down.

I then tried to levitate in the air with my new found joy, but it was so difficult. I could only go a few feet in the air and then I dropped back down to the ground.

When I awoke from the dream, I began to think about the mental environment that I was operating in and physics involved.
It's not a true physics of course. It's what my mind copies from reality. I began to wonder how that battle plays out between my own sense of self with powers and my own mind that creates the environment.

There is a tug of war of sorts between ideas of what should happen and what I attempt to make happen.

It's all very fascinating to me.

In my dreams I can breathe underwater, walk through walls, fly to the moon and beyond.
I can also intentionally jump off a building and intentionally not fly, hitting the ground in an experiment to see if I would die.

The thing is, I know what it feels like to die. I've been at death's door and survived.
When I hit the ground in my dream, I felt like I was dying. I had to fight to stay alive and fight very hard to wake up.
My heart was pounding and I never attempted that little experiment ever again.

I had to wonder how difficult it might be to bypass the physics that our minds setup in our dreams ?

What are your thoughts ?

 You are "lucid dreaming."

One thing we know is that everything, literally EVERYTHING we experience is a product of the brain.  That means that the brain is perfectly capable of sustaining a real physical simulation in real-time.  But I'd say the brain is many orders of magnitude more powerful than the relatively lazy response it needs for real life.
