Best Answer

Lucid dreams represent a mistake in the mind - rather like a hiccup - that confuses aspects of awakening with aspects of deep sleep. Instead of the conscious mind being at rest while the unconscious mind produces dreams, when lucid dreams occur, some portion of the mind becomes conscious and aware of a dream taking place. Some individuals experience lucid dreams naturally or with very little effort, while other individuals cannot achieve lucidity while dreaming no matter how hard they try. This is nothing more than natural variation among individuals, similar to the ability to roll the tongue or whistle between the teeth. Neither variation has particular value or significance.

People can control the content of their dream?

Generally, no, most people cannot control the content of dreams. Dreams are produced by the subconscious mind, for the purpose of sifting through thoughts, experiences and emotions while the conscious mind rests. Learning to control one's dreams requires imposing the conscious mind on a function that belongs to the subconscious. Most people simply cannot do this, while others learn partial control in "lucid dreaming." Even so, lucid dreaming is only partial control. yes, through lucid dreaming. but it is very annoying to do all the time. IT is fun, but after a while you might want the dream world to go back to its surprises.


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.

But that does not mean that everyone can or should have lucid dreams.


Has anyone experienced lucid dreaming while taking Vyvanse ADHD medication?

You are not alone on this. I've only been on Vyvanse for the three days and I've had two Lucid Dreams in a row that have happened completely on impulse. If you are having too many strange dreams though, I would recommend you talk with your doctor. But yes, strange vivd dreams, nightmares, and even memorable Lucid Dreams are perfectly normal to have while taking over 20 milligrams of Vyvanse.

Are lucid dreams real?

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.


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...


Is there anyone with lucid dreaming experience that can help me?

If you would like to lucid dream, you should start trying to remember your "normal" dream after you wake up. The purpose of this is: If you can't remember regular dreams, there isn't any way you'll be able to remember if you had a lucid dream. All lucid dreaming really is is being conscious of your surroundings while in a dream. If you can realize that you are in a dream while in your dream, you will become lucid. There are hundreds of different ways to learn to lucid dream. The most commonly used one is asking yourself throughout the day if you are in a dream. Chances are, if you do this in your dream out of habit, you will realize that you ARE dreaming, and become lucid.
