Lucid dreaming is a way to control your dreams. When lucidly dreaming, an individual is very aware that they are dreaming, and they can control their dreams.

          According to Scientific American July 2010, “techniques to control, or at least influence, our dreams have been shown to work in sleep experiments. We can strategize to dream about a particular subject, solve a problem, or end a recurring nightmare.” In other words, lucid dreaming could be a way to have anything you want or don't want for a period of time. Of course, it all disappears when you wake up, but this still may be very interesting for people, and seem like something they’d enjoy.

          However, it can also be very disturbing.

          During a lucid dream, everything seems completely real. All of your senses work. Sight, smell, taste, hearing, all of them. This can be very horrific for a someone stuck in a nightmare, feeling like they’re living what they’re dreaming.

          In all, dreams can be very important to individuals, good or bad.
