Lucid Dreams to Virtual Reality

Lucid dreams/Waking life allows you to be awake within your dreams which surrealists studied, however in the modern world with digital technology, are our lucid dreams becoming digitalized within the possibilities of Virtual reality? Being in a world where anything is possible and the restrictions of the world are no longer an obstacle. 

Is this the extended world of Lucid Dreams?

Digital Environment's Elective:

"Some of the topics brought up to day did however further my opinion of how digital is becoming dangerous, such as HAPTIC, where the physical feedback from a virtual world can be felt. Where is this next going to take us? Where we can not differentiate from reality and virtual? Not in the near future but what I think we must be cautious about is that it can happen and we as human beings could loose the effectiveness of being in reality, therefore loosing the joys of being alive. The question pressed: "What is living?" or "What is life?" 

Could we live our lives virtually (already slowly happening on facebook) and still say that we have lived?"
