I was just wondering about that , you are probably right. virtual worlds will (maybe) one day have the effect as if you where looking through a webcam into another atomic world.
An atomic world created by its inhabitants , a world full of elves, nekos ,dragons. }8-)=

Questionable is if better in.world graphics would make our dreams more intensive. Better imitation of meatspace doesn’t mean deeper immersion nor a more intense experience.

sorry i posted the same comment twice ,don’t know what happened. but to give an answer to your wonderful blog, If it where possible to enhance the sl experience in any way , you would come closer to dreamland . the intenser the feeling , the biggest chance minds /avatars can blend into one. Like in RL we all dream intenser after an experience we encountered that had a huge impact. of course SL is already intentense if you have a good imagination but i wonder if graphics would drastically improve what would be the effect? If there wouldn’t be a visual difference from firstlife for instance. I am sure i would have nightmares and my pixelated friend too.

It’s been a while since I’ve had my own dreams…. Last time, OP and I were hanging out at a party, with all our close friends from both words – good times….

Yes, that pic is a bit nightmarish :p but not intended to scare. Eidur, your addiction gets into mythic proportions.
