Lucid Dreaming (document)

Lucid dreaming is the experience of becoming aware that you are dreaming while still asleep. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may have the ability to control or influence the dream's content. This state occurs during REM sleep, when most vivid dreams happen. People often use techniques to induce lucid dreaming, such as reality checks or dream journals. It offers opportunities for personal exploration, creativity, and problem-solving within a safe, imaginary environment. While it can feel very real, lucid dreaming is a natural phenomena that many individuals can learn to practice and experience intentionally.
