Lucid dreaming


Have you ever heard of 'lucid dreaming'? If not, a lucid dream occurs when someone is sleeping, but they are aware they are sleeping. According to the Sleep Foundation... "roughly 55% of adults have experienced at least one lucid dream during their lifetime, and 23% of people experience lucid dreams at least once per month."


So I have been aware of lucid dreams for a while now, but I had never experienced one before, but that all changed this morning. I had stopped my alarm this morning at 6 am like every weekday, but accidentality fallen asleep again, and then I was in a strange dream, drinking wine on the floor at the top of a crane but being afraid to stand up because there were no railings on the side (whatever that means), and suddenly I thought that my alarm had already gone off so I had to get up, and instantaneously I was awake, checking my clock and seeing I had over slept for an hour.


This experience was interesting, because I obviously knew I was dreaming and had to wake up, and I felt more like being in the dream, than just an observer, if that is understandable, but it was only the need to wake up that distracted me from the dreaming, so this makes me how often we may be lucid dreaming, but we're so focused on the dreaming, that we don't think about being in the dream, or did I actually only have a lucid 'moment' while dreaming?

Person = body & mind. Your mind travels at night. Your brains are the recorder which lead to memories.
