subject: On Lucid what is lucid dreaming [print this page] Lucid dreaming simply defined is when you dream while being alert that you are in that dream. Lucidity, or mental clearness, begins in the course of the dream when the dreamer begins to grasp that what he is going through is not transpiring in physical reality but is in fact a dream.
So what's so great about lucid dreaming Let's answer that question with another question.

When we go to sleep and have dreams, we often wake up having a vague memory of that dream; may it be friendly or something we'd never like to think about again. However the thing here is, as we start to become more awake or more aware of the real world, the memory of the dream would also start to fade away as quickly as we had become aware of it; until we are only left with fragmented ideas here and there of what that dream is all about.
The attainment of being in a dream often takes place when the events occurring start to get weird or unusual, such as ascending or trying to run away with your body feeling like dead weight.
