A Dream
is simply a series of mental images and emotions occurring during
sleep. Lucid
dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. The
term was coined by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid"
in the sense of mental clarity. A lucid dream
is a dream in which you know you are dreaming. Typically this happens
when the dreamer experiences something strange, and when they stop
to question their reality, they realize they are in a dream.
