What is Lucid Dream?

You’re probably reading this article because you’d like to learn a little bit more about lucid dreams and what the big deal is of being lucid in a dream and what that really means. A lucid dream is a dream in which you know that you are dreaming and you are in control of it. This usually happens when the dreamer questions their state of reality in a dream and realizes that they are dreaming. Lucid dream usually happens every now and then for some people, and some people may have it more than others. Some may even be able to do it naturally whenever they want to. The definition of lucid dreams may be fairly simple but there are many misconceptions behind all of that.

Lucidity Level and Dream Control

So we have learned that ourselves being aware that we are dreaming define being lucid in a dream. I’ve personally experienced many times when lucidity level is very high, you’ve accepted that nothing in the dream is real and that you can do ANYTHING you want to do. The important thing about being lucid in a dream in my experience is to remain lucid and not excite yourself so much that you’re lucid, it causes you to wake up. Believe me, I’ve done this many times before. There are times where after I become lucid in a dream, and had forgotten that I’m lucid. Your mind is a very powerful thing, if you tell yourself that something is real in a dream, then it is real without a doubt, and you would go from being lucid to just dreaming again. This is known as low-level lucidity.

Being lucid in a dream is something I feel like everybody should experience at least once in there life. If anything, it would be an ideal thing for everyone to experience lucidity almost every single night. The way I see it, its like living in two worlds, your reality and your dream world. You have a world where you’d have to obey the laws of physics and a world where laws of physics do not apply. I can still still remember one of the very first few lucid dreams that I had when I started being lucid in a dream. I had just realized that I was actually dreaming and ran into my sister in the dream. She had asked me, “what are you doing here Bro?”… I replied. “Oh hey Sis, I’m dreaming right now, I’m just wondering around.” I can never forget that dream.
