Have you ever felt completely exhausted after an argument, or realized that a part of your mind is permanently anchored to a past relationship, a childhood house, or an old failure?

There is an extraordinary moment that those who have lived it never forget: you are in the middle of a dream and, suddenly, something clicks. You realize you are dreaming. The landscape around you — perhaps an infinite forest, a city that doesn't exist, your childhood bedroom transformed into something impossible — does not disappear. On the contrary, it becomes sharper, more vivid, more real than ever. You can fly, transform the environment, dialogue with dream characters, explore the most unexpected corners of your own psyche. That is a lucid dream : the experience of being conscious within the dream while it is happening.
