This is a major interest for me. It's when you become aware that you are dreaming. I've had a few where I realize it's a dream (because of something very unusual or not of normal reality experience. These are called dream signs and they alert you that you're dreaming. When the degree of lucidity is high enough you are absolutely sure you are dreaming but you look around and everything is just as real and solid as normal life. You say holy cow it's a whole other reality. If that don't freak you out! Has anyone else experienced this? You can attain the ability to get lucid in your dreams with practice. When in this state you are able to pose any question and get answers from your subconscious. In the lucid state your subconscious gives you perfect knowledge and skills. Say you wanted to improve your golf swing. In the lucid dream you'd say 'show me how to hit the ball'. You'd then experience the perfect golf swing and then in the waking state this would stay with you. And then out on the course you'd find your golf swing greatly improved. It's unlimited in what you can do. Learning stuff, painting, music skills, martial arts, whatever. Lucid dreaming is in some ways like astral travel or the out of body experience.
