\"dreamA few years back, I was reading an article on “lucid dreaming.” I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Could this even be real?<\/p>\n

Imagine you are dreaming, but you know that you are dreaming and you can control every aspect of your dream: you can change the setting and characters and you can change the outcome of the dream.<\/p>\n

Yes, we’ve all had times when we were dreaming and in the dream, we knew that it was a dream and that soon we were going to wake up. I’ve had those experiences. But there was never a time when I was in full control of the dream, or could control the characters, setting and outcome of the dream.<\/p>\n

So, when I stumbled upon this article about lucid dreaming on the internet, I was a bit dumbfounded. Several reliable sources claim that a person can control their dreams consciously and that it feels even more real than when you’re awake!<\/p>\n

Seriously? Imagine meeting with your favorite movie stars, flying over cities, driving the car of your dreams, and living out your wildest fantasies in a reality that is far more real than reality.<\/p>\n

I’ve never had this experience. I’ve never delved into it. The closest I’ve ever come to lucid dreaming was dozing away while having a mild control over my dream – through the thoughts I was thinking before falling asleep – but then it went blank.<\/p>\n

So what are you experiences on lucid dreaming? Please tell me in the comments section.<\/p>\n

Also, you may want to check out these resources I stumbled upon which claims to teach you all you need to know about lucid dreaming and how to go about having lucid dreams.<\/p>\n
