What is Lucid Dream?

A lucid dream is a dream during which dreamers, while dreaming, are aware they are dreaming.

In history, the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle was the first to mention clearly in his treatise On Dreams, and he defines an instance of self-awareness during a dream state.

“A dream is a continuation of thought during sleep while the body rests. Aristotle knew that dreams give us a magnified construction of the world and that dreams do not arise from supernatural manifestations.” by Aristotle.

Although Lucid dream is very similar to our other dreams, the most crucial difference is that as soon as you realize this situation, you start controlling and manipulating what happens in your dream. So the lucid dreamer can be a director of her dream to create a pleasant experience for herself.
