• Are we conscious when we are dreaming?


    But I would say there are varying degrees of consciousness.

    When I wake up in the morning i more likely to make poor decisions, mistake, forget things, because I am still waking up. What if Make a mistake like leaving the gas on which causes an explosion that kills everyone in the building? am I as responsible as when I am fully awake and conscious.

    I've had a look at the recent study and Professor John-Dylan Haynes who conducted it says it does not prove free will.

    "Our conscious decisions are not slaves to unconscious brain processes," Haynes said.

    "In other words, we can stop the fall of the dominoes. But does this ability translate to free will? Haynes says no."

    Im interested to know when do we become responsible for our actions. Say a sleep walker goes to the kitchen turns on the gas which blows the house up killing everyone, is he responsible for that?

    If someone having a lucid dream strangles their partner to death who is sleeping next to them are they responsible for that? if they had some control over the dream then could they have controlled that?

    When im tired i tend to make poorer decisions, I would argue because I am less conscious, so am I less responsible for my actions when I am tired?
