Many people will tell you, when it comes to remembering their dreams, that only bits and fragments will emerge; aside from this, there is, in essence, really very little else that manages to break through to the human mind of the waking hours. On the other hand, there are also many who will state that in addition to being able to recall their dreams, some of them are incredibly vivid, with a number of interesting elements that spill over into the realms of the active imagination, where one can actually control aspects of the dream; in essence, the dreamer is aware of the fact that they are dreaming.
The term “lucid dream” was first coined by psychiatrist Frederick van Eeden, in reference to such vivid dreams that one can seem to learn to control and manipulate, and many today have claimed that virtually anyone can learn how to achieve a lucid dreaming state. My own interest in the phenomenon is related not only to the lucid dreams themselves, but also to some of the strange activity that seems to occur concomitant with them. Among these are the ability not only to control their dreams, but also to develop certain psychic senses that appear to be related to the lucid dreaming state, as well as that familiar (and terrifying) condition known as sleep paralysis.
