Lucid dreams are a distinctive and intriguing phenomenon where subjects apparently possess, inter alia, conscious knowledge that they are dreaming while they are dreaming. I here develop and defend a new model of lucid dreaming, what I call the ‘Dyadic Model’, according to which lucid dreams involve the tokening of both dreaming and non-dreaming states. The model is developed to successfully defend the Imagination Theory of dreams, according to which to dream is to imagine, against the underexplored objection that it cannot account for lucid dreams. Moreover, as I explain, a range of theories of dreaming have reason to adopt the Dyadic Model, and it has further potential applications, including to false awakening and emotional responses to dreams. Hence, getting lucid about lucid dreaming reveals general insights for dream theorizing.

对清醒梦保持清醒


清醒梦是一种独特而有趣的现象，其中受试者显然拥有，尤其是有意识地知道他们在做梦时也在做梦。我在这里开发并捍卫一种新的清醒梦模型，我称之为“二元模型”，根据该模型，清醒梦涉及梦和非梦状态的标记化。该模型的开发是为了成功地捍卫梦的想象理论，根据该理论，梦就是想象，反对它无法解释清醒梦的未充分探索的反对意见。此外，正如我解释的那样，一系列的梦的理论有理由采用二元模型，并且它有进一步的潜在应用，包括假觉醒和对梦的情绪反应。因此，对清醒梦保持清醒了解揭示了梦理论化的一般见解。
