“A lucid dream, in simplest terms, is a dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik van Eeden (1860–1932).
A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state, with no apparent lapse in consciousness.
Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established” (Source)
For those who first hear about this, the concept is very similar to Inception. You are aware you are dreaming and thus can create the dream world as you see fit. Yo can fly, be invisible, teleport, be whoever you want to be, learn, train, love and everything else that pops into mind.
The possibilities are limitless. Think about the the application of this technique.
You may think that’s easy but it’s actually quite hard to do. The hardest part being that you almost never realize you are actually dreaming and as you all know dream state seems to have a mind of its own.
Do you believe in lucid dreams? Have you ever had one? What did you create? What would you do or create if everything was possible?

I have a dream journal I use that to help me remember my dreams! I have a lot of WILDS that were life changing!

I believe I MAY have had one. I was in the middle of a dream but at one point realised that it was nothing more than a dream. I didn't change anything or edit the dream, but I was aware I was dreaming.

I've had quite a few lucid dreams, but most of the time I just think “this is a dream” and then I wake up. Rarely do I actually remember that I should try to do something really cool in my dream haha.

I've had a few but normally when I realize when I'm dreaming I wake up, most of the time.

Ive been working nights for 5 years, so my sleep is typically shallow and fitful, and I usually have at least one a day where I know I'm dreaming and can exercise some control. And if anything starts to go wrong, I am always able to opt to wake up.

I have had so many weird and amazing experiences related to dreams, but never ever a lucid one. I hope that one day I'll get the hang of it.

I've had a few at random, but I can never remember important things when I wake up. Like I'll learn to fly, but forget how.

I have them every once in a blue moon, but the things I control in my dream are kind of boring, like what I will eat or something like that…
