What Is Lucid Dreaming?

By David Wolf


If you dream and you know that you are dreaming, it is known as lucid dreaming, despite the fact that you may be dreaming of doing something that is impossible, such as flying. You always know when you are having a lucid dream, and it is this knowledge that is the most significant difference between lucid and regular dreaming.

However, lucid dreaming is somewhat controversial as many people just don't believe that it is possible to dream, yet at the same time know that you are dreaming and have control over your dreams. Some look upon it in the same way as they might look at crystal reading and fortune telling, and the experience can also be compared to that of waking up inside a dream and knowing you are dreaming.

Many believers of lucid dreaming believe that science is involved. An EEGs study was monitored closely. Some subjects seemed to make movements with their eyelids when the were experiencing lucid dreams. The researchers are convinced that this shows that this dream state does exist thanks to the brain activity that was shown during REM sleep.

While there may be as many believers as skeptics when it comes to this concept, the idea that human beings can control their dreams is very difficult to believe. While some scientists may be open to the possibility of lucid dreams being true, most scientists are of the opinion that it is impossible. Whatever a person may think of lucid dreaming, there are special clubs that a person can join to experience the beauty of lucid dreaming first-hand, as well as devices and machines that can help individuals to start lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming use to only be mentioned when talking about psychical research. These dreams were thought to be related to the paranormal since they could not be easily understood. In modern times, lucid dreaming is more of fad. More and more people are starting to believe in it and try it out. There are many believers out there that want to encourage other to try it before dismissing it completely.
