Lucid Dreams

As you know, when youre dreaming you dont realize you are actually dreaming, but there is a certain kind of dream in which you know youre

dreaming, it is called lucid dream.

A lucid dream is when you are aware that you are dreaming. Is the ability to "wake up" in your dreams. In a lucid dream, the dreamer

has greater chances to control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imagination in the dream. Lucid dreams

can be realistic and vivid.

There is some confusion about the difference between lucidity and dream control. The two are related, but one can happen without the other.

For example, many lucid dreamers experience little or no control in some dreams. On the other hand, it is possible to exercise some dream

control without being aware that it is a dream. Typically the dream plot will explain this by making the dreamer believe that they have some

sort of god-like power over everything. Dream control, by our definition, can be either conscious or unconscious.

Because almost everyone has lucid dreams naturally every once in a while, we know that lucid dreaming is not limited by any one viewpoint.

There are historical records which speak of lucid dreaming going back thousands of years--so it is hardly a new phenomenon. Actually the movie

Inception is about a certain kind of Lucid Dream. There is no need to have any spiritual beliefs to enjoy lucid dreams.

Lucid dreaming occurs while you are sleeping; it is not meant at all to infringe upon your involvement in the real world. While many lucid

dreamers enjoy writing down their dreams, talking about their dreams, and planning fun lucid dreams, this is generally no different from any

other hobby. In fact, playing a video game or watching a movie will take you out of the “real world” more than lucid dreaming will.

Many religious or beliefs describe lucid dreaming as occult practices and activities. Lucid dreams often occur naturally and there is

nothing occult about them. On the contrary, many great religious epiphanies and messages came in the form of dreams; sometimes lucid

dreams. Our dreams are what we make them; whether we wish to give them spiritual significance or not is up to us.

Lucid dreaming was defined as becoming aware you are dreaming; the actual level of awareness varies, however. When the level of

lucidity is high you are well aware that nothing you experience is real, and you realize that you have nothing to fear—you cannot be

harmed by any situations that may seem precarious. With low-level lucidity, although partially aware you are dreaming, you are not aware

enough to have a great impact on your dream—you may accept some aspects of your dream that you would not normally accept in the

ordinary world (you may not find
