Lucid dreaming – control over dreams or an illusion of the mind?

Do you ever have lucid dreams – those in which you know you’re dreaming and can influence what happens?

Lucid dreams have long sparked both fascination and unease. Some claim they’re the key to self-discovery, while others see them as a dangerous game with the subconscious. The phenomenon known as lucid dreaming attracts scientists, mystics, and ordinary dreamers alike, as it combines science, mysticism, and the boundary of consciousness. Does the dreamer truly control the dream, or does it merely seem that way – an illusion of mastery over the mind? Some see it as proof of parallel realities, others as a result of brain training and autosuggestion. Increasingly, there’s talk of technologies capable of inducing lucid dreams. Is this a breakthrough in self-awareness, or the beginning of dream manipulation?

Where do the images in our dreams come from?

Do you think the images and figures that appear in our dreams come from real memories, or are they creations of the brain’s imagination?

Dreams have fascinated people for centuries because no one truly knows where their images and figures come from. Are they just a jumble of memories, or something much deeper? Neurologists speak of brain activity during REM sleep, when chaotic memories are rearranged into new configurations. But others believe that dreams are more than that – a gateway to other dimensions, traces of past incarnations, or even a form of communication with something beyond the subconscious. Today, in an age of science and spiritual awakening, the boundary between neurons and the soul is once again blurring. The question remains: does the brain merely process familiar images, or does it, like an artist, create entirely new worlds we’ve never seen while awake?

Time change

Do you think we should abolish daylight saving time?

If we were to permanently stick to one time, which do you think would be better for people and the economy?

For years, the issue of abolishing time changes has sparked huge controversy. Some argue it’s a relic of a bygone era – invented to save energy, though its purpose has long since faded. Others defend it stubbornly, citing “more sun after work” and its supposed impact on mood. Meanwhile, more and more studies show that changing the clocks disrupts the biological rhythm, increases the risk of heart attacks, and worsens sleep. Yet politicians continue to delay a decision, and the European Union cannot reach an agreement. Is daylight saving time an innocent tradition or a health experiment that has long spiraled out of control? Take part in the poll and decide!

Acceleration of Time and the Schumann Resonance

Some claim that the perceived “acceleration of time” is linked to the increase in the Schumann resonance frequency. What do you think about this?

More and more people claim that time has truly accelerated – days pass faster, and years blend into one. Is it just a psychological illusion, or is something happening to the Earth itself? Supporters of the Schumann resonance theory say that the increase in the planet’s electromagnetic frequency affects human consciousness, biological rhythms, and the perception of time. Scientists, however, point to stress, sensory overload, and digital strain on the brain. But if it’s all just “psychology,” why do so many people around the world feel the same effect?

Karma, curses, and spells

Do you believe in karma, curses, spells, or that someone’s envy could have caused something in your life to “go wrong”?

Do you believe in karma, curses, and spells? For some, these are old superstitions from the days when people feared witches and blamed their failures on the “evil eye.” For others, they are real phenomena explaining strange coincidences, sudden illnesses, or streaks of bad luck. The modern world mocks magic, yet the internet is full of energy-cleansing rituals, protective amulets, and theories about karmic retribution. Psychologists will say it’s self-suggestion, while esotericists claim that energy always seeks balance. But why do we sometimes feel as if an invisible force is working against us?

School vs. Teen Sleep Rhythm

Since teenagers naturally have a delayed sleep phase and fall asleep later, do early school start times negatively affect their health?

More and more studies show that teenagers function on a different circadian rhythm than adults – their brains naturally “shift” toward later sleeping and waking hours. Yet most schools still start classes at dawn, forcing students to fight against their biological clocks. The result? Chronic sleep deprivation, decreased concentration, depression, and growing rebellion against a system that ignores science. Is this merely a matter of discipline and “nighttime” social media use, or proof that education fails to keep up with biology? Supporters of change call for a “sleep revolution,” while opponents see it as youth laziness. Who’s right? Take part in the poll and decide for yourself.
