Are lucid dreams scientifically valid?
Until recently, there was no solid evidence of their occurrence. I recently read an amazing book by Stephen LaBerge (which I would highly recommend if you’re interested in trying lucid dreaming), which recounts some of the studies he has done to validate lucid dreaming as a real science. He told of a study where he moved his eyes in a lucid dream, which moved his eyes in real life. This on it’s own is useless, but he arranged a pattern of eye movements (up, down, right, up, left, down for example) and performed them in a lucid dream. Amazingly, his eyes in real life moved in that exact pattern; lucid dreaming was proved to actually take place! This is one of many studies Prof. LaBerge has conducted, but yes – lucid dreams are scientifically valid! How do I achieve lucidity? As this isn’t intended to be a guide as to how to dream lucidly, I’m just going to explain the principles behind how people become lucid in their dreams.
