"...the dream Ego does not know that it is dreaming. It does not realize the signals it is turning into an internal narrative are self-generated stimuli--in philosophical jargon, this feature of the dream state is a "metacognitive deficit." The dream Ego is delusional, lacking insight into the nature of the state it is itself generating."
--Thomas Metzinger, The Ego Tunnel, p. 138
In lucid dreaming, this is not the case, for the dreaming Ego is conscious it is dreaming/creating the dream state. - about 2 hours ago, on lame duck, dontcry said:

B.B.C. News: 'Honeybee hordes use two weapons - heat and carbon dioxide - to kill their natural enemies, giant hornets.
'Japanese honeybees form "bee balls" - mobbing and smothering the predators.
'This has previously been referred to as "heat-balling", but a study has now shown that carbon dioxide also plays a role in its lethal effectiveness.' - about 6 hours ago, on fuppie, madmouth said:
