Lately, I've been really pondering how to use lucid dreams to make up for those imaginative experiences I'm totally missing out on. Heck, I even gave it a shot just this afternoon. If I wanna turn it into a real lucid dream instead of some fuzzy, colorless regular one, I gotta focus hard like you said to actually bring in some colors.

I’ve found that during half-awake state, I can see colors in my visual field. By intensely focusing on one point, I can indeed perceive colors in that small area. But what’s most fascinating is that during this half-awake state, my body often feels numb, which is normal. However, when I try hard to generate colors in my mind, my entire body—especially my face and hands—starts tingling intensely. It feels like my old computer struggling to run Helldivers 2, with its fans roaring like a helicopter taking off. It’s as if both scenarios involve some invisible CPU working under extreme pressure.
