Although lucid dreaming was originally a way to explain the nature of the eyes with which we see in dreams, it became known as the psychological approach to dreaming that can be experienced during the REM phase of sleep. As early as the 8th century, Tibetan Buddhists practiced yoga to maintain full consciousness in the dream state, better known as lucid dreaming. Over the past two decades, experiments have been conducted to prove the existence of lucid dreams. Scientists have found that there is a correlation between the content and the frequency of the experimental subject. Lucid dreams are dreams in which one is aware that they are dreaming, and lucid dreamers can employ a certain amount of participation and control over their dreams. Lucid dreaming offers the opportunity for unique and enthralling adventures rarely surpassed in other parts of life. They have the potential to promote personal growth and development, increase self-confidence, improve mental and physical health, facilitate creative problem solving, and help you progress on the path to self-mastery. The hypothesis that lucid dreaming can improve quality of life applies to both daytime and nighttime experiences. During these dreams we remain fully aware of the fact that we are dreaming, so in a sense we are both “awake” and “asleep”. Lucid dreaming also helps promote more flexible and creative responses to unexpected situations, and people who dream lucidly will most likely be more motivated to try new behaviors that lead to psychological growth and positive changes in their waking life. Despite the fact that lucid dreamers are in their dreams, they are not entirely lucid. This allows you to face otherwise frightening nightmares and anxieties face to face, allowing… middle of paper… you might eat underwater. Usually sleep is the protagonist of a lucid dream, but not always. Sometimes the actor of the dream is not the dreamer and sometimes he plays no role at all. A variation in how we remember things also leads to differences in what happens in otherwise lucid dreams. The lowest levels of motivation and expectation are drives, then desires, expectations and then ideas or goals. Learning to lucid dream is a skill that can be acquired or improved through training and recognizing that you are dreaming. You have to have a concept of what the dream is. There are many functions and meanings of the dream. We dream for physiological reasons and for psychological reasons. These dreams always contain important messages about us. We can learn a lot from lucid dreaming and I recommend everyone to try it at least once in their life
