“What dreaming does is give us the fluidity to enter into other worlds by destroying our sense of knowing this world.” — Carlos Castaneda

Have you ever become aware you were dreaming?

Did you walk around your dream? Did you look up and down and left and right? Did you search? Did you meet others? Did you realize that you were in a place only you could be in?

You can become aware of a dream, and participate in it. This is a real phenomenon called lucid dreaming. It’s pretty damn bizarre, but it couldn't be more interesting.

What Is a Dream?

Dreams take you places. They can be incredible, horrifying, humbling, and worth remembering. But what’s the point? What are they for?

Dreams are a universal human experience that can be described as a state of consciousness characterized by sensory, cognitive and emotional occurrences during sleep.

There is no cognitive state that has been as extensively studied and yet as frequently misunderstood as dreaming.
