What is a Lucid Dream?
-Lucid dreaming means that you are dreaming and you are aware that you are doing so. The word lucid can mean ‘clear’ or ‘transparent’. While lucid you can do a number of tasks, such as talk to a relative/friend that has passed away, live your wildest fantasies or just fly to the heavens and marvel in the beauty of the environment you create in your dream! Lucid dreaming occurs in the REM (rapid eye movement) period of sleep.
A lucid dream involves knowing you’re dreaming while you’re dreaming. In some cases, you can direct the events and outcome of the dream. Lucid dreaming has been linked to enhanced creativity and self-healing. It’s estimated that about 15 percent of the adult population naturally have frequent lucid dreams. Many people can learn to increase their lucid dreaming.
