Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming occurs when a person becomes aware that they are dreaming while still within the dream. This awareness can sometimes allow the dreamer to influence or control the dream’s events, characters, and environment. It typically happens during REM sleep, the stage associated with vivid dreaming. People can develop the ability to lucid dream through practice, self-awareness, and techniques like reality checks. Lucid dreaming offers opportunities for creative exploration, problem-solving, and personal growth, and is generally considered a safe phenomenon experienced by many individuals.
