What are lucid dreams?

Lucid dreams are a psychological and neurophysiological phenomenon that occurs during sleep, more specifically during the phase called REM (Rapid Eye Movement), an intermediate state between deep sleep and wakefulness. This allows you to realize that you are dreaming and have vivid sensory experiences. There is even an application that uses sound and visual stimuli to induce the state of lucid dreaming.

Common questions

Having lucid dreams more frequently requires practice and patience, and in some cases requires specific techniques. However, a good tip is to regularly write down your dreams when you wake up. Practicing conscious visualization during the day can also increase the likelihood of having lucid dreams.

Generally, having lucid dreams is safe and positive, but there are some risks. Some dreamers have reported unpleasant experiences, such as intense nightmares or sleep paralysis associated with these phenomena. However, these occurrences are rare.

During a lucid dream, you can question reality, notice vivid details, and perform actions that are impossible in real life. If reality seems unstable or inconsistent, you are likely in a lucid dream.

When you have a lucid dream, take the opportunity to explore and experiment. Start by observing your surroundings, interact with elements of the dream and experience the feeling of control. Remember to stay calm as intense emotions can wake you up.
