Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming happens when you’re aware that you’re dreaming.You’re able to recognize your thoughts and emotions as the dream happens.
Sometimes, you can control it.
You may be able to change the people, environment, or story line, that is happening in the dream. This type of
dream of control could potentially reduce night mare and anxiety .

When we sleep, our brain cycles through rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep and non-REM sleep.
Non-REM sleep includes 3 different stages. During non-REM, our
brain waves, heartbeat, and eye movements gradually slow down.
In REM sleep, our brain is extremely active. Our heart rate and eye movements
also increase.

Lucid dreaming, like most dreams, usually happens during REM sleep.
In a lucid dream, we know that we’re dreaming. We’re aware of our
awareness during the dream state.
About 55 % of people have
experienced one or more lucid dreams in their lifetime. However, frequent lucid
dreaming is rare. Only 23 % of
people have lucid dreams at least once a month.
How ?
To explore lucid dreaming, try the following tips:
***Get more REM sleep
Since lucid dreaming usually happens during REM sleep, spending
more time in this stage will increase your chances of lucid dreaming.
You can extend REM sleep by getting enough sleep overall. When you
have healthy sleep habits, your body can properly cycle through all four stages
of sleep.
To practice good sleep hygiene:
- Follow a sleep schedule.
- Exercise daily.
- Avoid electronics before bed.
- Create a relaxing sleep
environment.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol
before bed.
Even if you don’t lucid dream, these habits will help you get
restorative sleep.
