Yes, lucid dreams—which, for the uninitiated, are dreams where you’re aware you’re sleeping and can often control aspects of your dream—are real. While people doubted their existence for years, a slew of research in the second half of the last century put those doubts to sleep.

The way researchers proved it is pretty cool. They taught test subjects methods to induce lucid dreams (there are plenty out there, if you’re interested), then hooked them to polygraph machines as they slept. The subjects had agreed to perform specific actions in their dreams when they achieved lucidity—actions that’d show up on a polygraph test, like patterns of eye movements or fist clenches; lo and behold, the subjects fell asleep, then gave the signals.

For most, lucid dreams are happy accidents, but some suggest pursuing the ability to reliably lucid dream can help avert nightmares, alleviate anxiety, and even aid in physical rehabilitation.

You're aware of your awareness during the dream state. About 55 percent of people have experienced one or more lucid dreams in their lifetime. However, frequent lucid dreaming is rare. Only 23 percent of people have lucid dreams at least once a month

A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may gain some amount of control over the dream characters, narrative, and environment; however, this is not actually necessary for a dream to be described as lucid.[1][2][3][4] Lucid dreaming has been studied and reported for many years. Prominent figures from ancient to modern times have been fascinated by lucid dreams and have sought ways to better understand their causes and purpose. Many different theories have emerged as a result of scientific research on the subject and have even been shown in pop culture. Further developments in psychological research have pointed to ways in which this form of dreaming may be utilized as a form of sleep therapy. for more info visit this site >>>miniurl.pw/8iCUH

They are real dreams - yes.

Are they real like this reality appears to us? I don't believe anyone can say.

Is this waking dream real?

I guess this simple question poses many philosophic problems that need to be analyzed.

If you can lucid dream, keep dreaming! Mabye even ask someone in your lucid dream if lucid dreams are real or even ask if they are 'real'

Does a lucid dream make-out session count as cheating?

Lucid dreams are, by definition, dreams that one consciously controls. So while one can claim innocence regarding normal dream experiences, lucid dreaming is different in that it involves awareness and choices. So the real question is why one choses to have a make-out session in a lucid dream, if one is in a real life committed relationship? Second opinion: Lucid dreams are, also by definition, dreams in which one is aware that they are dreaming, so one could argue that a make-out session in a lucid dream does not have the same moral and sociological implications and committments as the real thing. Arguing the opposite, however, I would have to note the biblical constraint to not lust after another, because lusting is just as bad as the actual deed. Interesting... Hmmm...

What happens in a lucid dream?

A "lucid dream" is nothing more than a dream in which you realize that you are dreaming while remaining asleep. There is a tremendous amount of nonsense circulating on the Internet about lucid dreams along with opportunities to spend money on useless instruction books and gadgets claiming to produce lucid dreams.> Some individuals are able to become aware that they are dreaming quite easily and direct their dreams just as they would a daydream or waking fantasy. But that does not mean that everyone can or should have lucid dreams.

How can you be sure you will have a lucid dream tonight?

You can't. I've had lucid dreams at random, even with practice and using techniques that are really good. WILDs have high success rates, as do MILDs, but usually, you can't predict them. After a good bit a practice, and coming up with self techinques, you may "master" and almost always have lucid dreams. But there is no sure way, some people can have lucid dreams at will, but they natrually have the ability.
