What is Lucid Dreaming?

It is often said that everyone dreams but not everyone remembers dreaming. People who claim they don’t dream often respond skeptically to the question, “Does lucid dreaming exist?” Meanwhile, those who do recall their dreams may find themselves wondering, “Is there a way to lucid dream?” After aLL, it’s one thing to passively watch your dreams and take part in them indirectly, and quite another to realize you’re dreaming and actively influence the events unfolding in the dream. For those who struggle to remember their dreams, the ability to consciously control a dream might seem unrealistic. However, theoretically, everyone has the potential not only to dream and become aware of the process but also to affect it directly.
