Lucid dreaming is a state in which a person realizes that he is sleeping and is able to control what is happening in a dream. Imagine that you are watching a movie in a cinema, but with the difference that you are not just a spectator, but can change the plot and become the main character. Sounds like science fiction? But for many, this is already reality.
Lucid dreams: gaps in reality or a path to self-knowledge?
Some consider lucid dreams to be a kind of glitch in reality. In a dream, we go beyond the usual laws of physics and logic. This phenomenon interests not only scientists, but also ordinary people who seek to understand the nature of consciousness and reality.
What else is lucid dreaming called?
Lucid dreaming has different names: from the English term "lucid dream" to the scientific expression "conscious dreaming". However, regardless of the name, its essence is unchanged: awareness and control over what is happening.
