True, but imagine a world that you had complete control of... That's why I try to lucid dream, for fun!
I've never gotten to that point though. All my lucid dreams are generally right on the edge of normal consciousness (of waking up.)
Speaking of that, the whole Terry Schiavo case is rather pertinent to this whole discussion, don't you think? One argument on the side of allowing her to die is that she has no consciousness, because her frontal lobes do not function. But this is an argument based on assumption. Though I'm for letting her pass away (who would want to be kept alive in that condition?) that particular argument gets on my nerves.
There is simply no way to locate consciousness. If consciousness was located in the frontal lobes, that would imply that we, at some point during the evolution of that particular brain region, suddenly became conscious. I find this hard to believe.
However, the whole argument is irrelevant anyway. There is no possible way to know what kind of consciousness Terri is experiencing right now, and some (including myself) would argue that that consciousness might even go beyond her physical death. All we know is that for 10 years, the courts have been hearing every argument possible, and consistently siding with her husband. Do the protestors think they've caught something that all the courts have somehow overlooked?
