During sleep if you are aware that you are dreaming and more importantly you have the control over your dreams so as to manipulate and change it in the way you want to, it can be concluded that you have lucid dreams.

Lucid Dreams are something that perhaps each human would wish to have the ability of. In case of your dreams say, starting from visiting any place in the world, meeting numerous celebrities, unreal stuff like going to the moon, having a sci-fi adventure yourself saving the world from bad men, waging war, making love, etc, you have done it all in your dreams since childhood.

But just sit back and think for a moment what an experience it would have been if you had known all the time that you were dreaming and hence have been fearless to do anything that you want, being able to manipulate your dreams in the way that you want to! Don’t you think it would have been the greatest experience of a lifetime? Even greater than the latest 3D play station games! And to think some people can do that anytime they want to! Lucid Dreams could might as well become a major addiction.

The two things that the lucidity of a lucid dream depends upon are those of the dream recall factor and the control factor. That is, the more you can recall the dream and the more you have control over it, the more your dream is said to have been lucid.

Lucid Dreams have been existent and something which people experienced since the early days. Records of monks undergoing dream yoga, even letters bearing experiences of such a dreaming experiences suggests that though the full fledged and focus study regarding this has been initiated quite recently.

The two types of lucid dreams can be stated to be those of the DILD and WILD denoting the ‘Dream initiated Lucid Dream’ or ‘Wake initiated Lucid Dream’ respectively. The DILD is more common and it is when you sleep and normally dream and thereafter know or realize that it is a dream. Moreover, this is pretty common in many people occurring in very less intensity. But in full light, it means that you dream first and then you come to know that it’s only a dream.

WILD or Wake initiated Lucid Dream is when an individual only lets his body sleep having his mind in complete wakeful state. That is he passes from the wakefulness to the dream realm being completely aware and in control of themselves. A rare experience and an extremely difficult skill to develop, this involves people experiences loud noises, rough vibrations even distinct feelings of passing from one matter to another during highly intense WILD experiences.

Thus, it can be concluded that while DILD is common and attaining it requires less effort with a certain level of subconscious affirmation required, WILD is extremely difficult to achieve and attaining requires far greater effort in terms of regulating your thoughts and practicing high focusing techniques.
