Lucid dreams
Not much other than that you can control what you want to dream, and that you are one of the few persons who can SOMETIMES, not necessarily always, know that they are dreaming. Some studies have shown that Lucid Dreamers also can know what is happening under anesthesia. Lucid Dreaming can tell you what you want to avoid dreaming, as you change the dream. I personally am a frequent lucid dreamer. It is an interesting experience, and not well studied.
A dream-initiated lucid dream starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream.
In a lucid dream, the conscious mind maintains some level of awareness. The dreamer knows that a dream is occurring and may be able to have some control over what happens in the dream. The opposite of a lucid dream would be a dream in which the dreamer is not aware of dreaming and has no control over what is felt or done in the dream.
By definition, a lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer not only is aware of dreaming but also has conscious control of the dream. If one cannot stop or alter the course of the dream, one is not actually in a lucid dream. The question describes an ordinary, normal dream in which one happens to know one is dreaming.
The Nova Dreamer is a device that combines Lights and can use sound to provide Brainwave Entrainment ( http://www.transparentcorp.com/products/np/entrainment.php ) to get your brain to a state of Lucid Dreaming. Lucid Dreaming is when you know that you are dreaming and can take control of your dream. Here is a review of the device that gives the pros and cons. http://www.fnapf.demon.co.uk/sweet-lucid-dreams/nova-dreamer.html
Lucid dreaming existed since the cavemen, I know because ANYONE can lucid dream.
There is a scientific definition for lucid dreaming. From my point of view, Lucid dreaming can be caused from an experienced dreamer once you come to the understanding/awareness that you are dreaming. This dreamer can take control in dreams. EX. reoccuring dream that a person keeps slicing your hands with a razor blades... 1st dream you get sliced,2nd dream you get sliced again,while dreaming this dream it actually feels like an actual physical experience. The dreamer will start know what is going to happen in dream from previous ones and will take an action to prevent being sliced again. Action may be running (3rd dream)...And so on and so on.
Lucid dreams can be very useful in discovering underlying causes to nightmares and recurring dreams, as well as identifying hidden emotions that are causing stress or discomfort in real life. The most familiar example would be the chase dream. By becoming lucid within that nightmare, the dreamer can stop running, turn around, and demand that the "monster" identify itself. Once the problem is identified, it can be resolved in the dreamer's real life, and the recurring nightmare will end. > However, lucid dreaming is best used with the guidance of a professional counselor or therapist. When used just for fun or curiosity, it can interrupt natural sleep and create, rather than relieve, serious stress.
Your dream is based on your thoughts but what happens in the dream you can not control. There is also Lucid Dreaming where one completely controls the dream. This occurs when one becomes aware that they are dreaming and then are able to influence the imagery. Usually, the dreamer will eventually become aware that they are dreaming, but one can also go from a wakened state directly into a lucid dreaming state.
