That's the most amazing part of the detail to me, the uniqueness of the experience of the dreamer is completely at the whim of the dreamer. Not any physical rules. And that's one of the things I loved about the movie Inception when she says that it isn't so much about the look as it is the way things feel. Yes, they feel absolutely real indeed! Ironically though, one of my consistent reality checks is to look at my hands. It is kind of like my totem in the sense that in reality, my hands always look a certain specific way. I can see my scars, skin texture, etc
In a lucid dream however, no matter how real everything else looks or feels in that dream, IF I stop and stare at my hands they look somewhat animated, Gaussian blurry, or wavy. It will allow me to realize I am in the dream space and take control. Light switches also never work for me in my dreams, but there isn't always a light switch around. Same thing with printed text and watches, very hard to read in the dream space, but not always available.
Light switches are a good check when you're in a dream, but that can be really confusing when they fail in real life. That's happened to me a couple times. The worst was when that happened after a long chain of false awakenings.

I can try to steer it back on topic with an observation of a little Poetic justice here. The full circle of this thread, of these efforts. It's not a dead project, because just as we share the waking dream of the real world every day, we once shared that original Matrix dream online, so while this project may be dead to some, it is still a dream for others. And you don't have to chase the dream for it to inspire you, simply remembering that you dreamed at all, is the most challenging part.
Gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith-ahhhhhhhh
Bless you Rajkosto. You deserve all the medals.
I wish I knew how to program. I would love to be on the front line with you

I think he's kicking it on Instagram mostly, looks like his tweets are auto posting from there.

There's always the 'Donate' button on the front page! I couldn't possibly surmise how many hours Rajko has put into this project when he has the time to do it, and we all sure appreciate it a ton.
