A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik (Willem) van Eeden (1860–1932). In a lucid dream, the dreamer can exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can be realistic and vivid.
This occasionally happens to me unintentionally - such a strange feeling. Sometimes it kind of feels like I want to move my arms/legs and can't, everything kind of goes black and then I'm in control of my arms and legs/etc in my dream.
The weirdest part is how real everything seems/feels. I'm aware I'm dreaming but everything seems/feels incredibly real.
Anyone else ever experience this?
