You can already achieve full-dive VR by learning to lucid dream :D

I'm always skeptical of these claims. I have a few times been fully aware that I'm dreaming and as soon as I try to do literally anything then I lose it after what feels like 10 seconds, always because I wake up. What good is it to be aware you're dreaming if you can't actually fly around with superhero powers?

It takes a lot of practice and meditation to master it. I was skeptical at first too, but the first time I performed the technique known as WBTB and I experienced my body and mind fall asleep while I was still conscious, my life was changed. It’s pretty cool stuff.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. While I'm skeptical, it's something I've always wanted to be able to do. Had some guided CDs even that asked me to imagine energy encasing my body and stuff. Pretty woo but I wanted it bad enough. Didn't work though! lol

You have to train yourself and get used to it. The more you change in the dream, the more you start to wake up. So when you feel yourself waking up, ease off and let the dream take over again.

I have to focus on one spot visually, and let the dream carry me around, throughout the world. I’m always just amazed at what my brain does without me trying, the details of the dream world and all. It makes me think I need to trust my subconscious more, when it comes to creativity.

As a Lucid Dreamer, yeah I'm also skeptical of these stories. I have relative control over dreams and I am lucid, it's way, WAY WAAAY better than any video game or VR headset but it's just so damn weird and bizarre and you are not 100% in control. It's just too weird and loose which makes it more interesting than being a superhero but it's also not a video game.
