[__ Science __ ] Lucid Dreaming

[HeIsRisen2018]

Has anybody ever experienced this before? I think I did for the first time earlier today at Yoga as I was in a deep meditative state since I was sort of asleep but I sort of wasn't but I was completely aware of what was going on. Is this what lucid dreaming is?

Lucid dreaming is when you are asleep, and you realize you're dreaming. I used to think you had to have full control of the dream in order for it to be considered lucid, but apparently that's not the case.
I have lucid dreams fairly often, but I'm never really able to control them. I've tried, once in one dream I was being kidnapped and told my kidnappers to leave me alone because this was just a dream and they had to do as I said--they laughed at me.

I never really had a dream like that before, but I bet that they weren't laughing at you when you woke up. :wink
