Answer 1

A lucid dream is a dream where you are aware that you are dreaming, and have control over. If you have a scary dream, and then realize that you are dreaming, it will not be scary anymore since you will know its just a dream, and will realize that you have full control over it.

Lucid dreams give us the ability to control our own dreams and steer them toward the direction we want.  In the lucid state, we are more willing to confront threats and as a result, become more self confident. When we achieve lucidity, we can use it as a tool to improve our sports game, to rehearse a speech, to fulfill our fantasies, or to solve a problem in our waking life. In fact, some athletes utilize their lucid dreams to practice their tennis serve, golf stroke or bat swing. Even in our day to day life, we can use lucid dreams to ask  the boss for a raise, prepare for a first date, overcome phobias,  get

Lucid dreaming is the best way to get out of a scary dream.  I had a few dreams that someone is chasing me and I know they are going to try to kill me.  The I realize that I don't know where I am and I don't know who is chasing me.  I can close my eyes in my dream and say that I want to be at the beach and then open them and all the chaos is over.  You just need to find something that isn't right in your dream and then take control.  Once you begin to lucid dream then it is hard to stay asleep because you are bordering on semi-conscious.

Answer 6

I used to do it when I was a teen. I dont anymore though. It takes alot of practice and understanding your body really well.

The main prerequisite for having lucid dreams is above average dream recall. Although it may at first not seem like it, developing dream recall is fairly easy. For the most part it takes only practice and motivation. These two necessities to developing dream recall are rather self-explanatory: if you want to get better at a skill you must practice; if you’re not motivated, you won’t practice. Diving right in and attempting to have lucid dreams without having the ability to recall your dreams is senseless because you’ll likely not remember your lucid dreams upon waking. Also, learning dream recall will aid in both your attempts to induce lucidity and to control your dreams because you will have developed the diligence and patience necessary to do so. Once you have improved your dream recall to a couple dreams per night you can move on to attempting to induce lucid dreaming. Again, practice and motivation will become key components to your success at lucid dreaming.

How long does it take?

The length of time required to have steady lucid dreams varies, depending on the person. Keep in mind since we are all individuals it may also simply not be possible for you to become steady with your lucid dreaming: it is very likely you’ll only be able to have a couple a month, if even that many. As stated previously dream recall, practice, and motivation are all critical components to successful lucid dreaming. Obviously one who begins with excellent dream recall will require less time and effort than one who only occasionally remembers his or her dreams. Some will be more ardent than others and will find it easier to stay motivated and to practice. Also, there are always those who seem to have a natural predisposition for various skills, thus will be able to proceed at an accelerated pace regardless of their previous level of experience. I should note that lucid dreams are not necessarily only attained by vigorous practice and diligence—it is quite possible you have already experienced lucid dreaming, although you may not already know it. In fact, after reading this site on lucid dreaming you may very well have a lucid dream tonight—simply reading about and constantly thinking about lucid dreaming is often enough to induce a lucid dream. Attaining the ability to lucid dream at will, however, requires effort on your part.
