"Usually, we don't have much say in what we dream about. Our brains churn up images, and we sit back and watch. But it's possible to take control. You can turn the monster chasing you into a mouse, or fly through the sky like a bird. All it takes is realizing you're in a dream, mid-dream otherwise known as lucid dreaming."
"Lots of people want to lucid dream. There are online communities devoted to sharing tips and tricks, like the subreddit r/LucidDreaming, which has about 98,000 weekly visitors. Recent discussion topics include If flying is hard, try giving yourself a Green Lantern ring, and Has anyone gone to space in [a lucid dream]? Most people engage in lucid dreaming because it's fun,"
Lucid dreaming occurs when a person becomes aware they are dreaming while the dream is ongoing. Awareness within the dream allows the dreamer to act without the physical limits of waking life, enabling flying, breathing underwater, superhuman strength, or personal scenarios. Many people seek to induce lucid dreams for enjoyment. Active online communities share techniques and report common topics such as using symbolic objects to enable abilities and simulated space travel. Some people experience lucid dreams every few weeks, often briefly but long enough for simple actions like flying. About half of people report ever having had a lucid dream, and training may increase occurrence.
