YES. The answer is yes. A few decades ago (I don't remember the exact date) Two men independently proved lucid dreaming to be a real phenomenon using very similar methods. One of the men was Stephen Laberge of what is now the Lucidity Institute, and the other I believe was Alan Worseley (but don't quote me on that).

They both did experiments where a subject went to sleep intending to have a lucid dream. The subject was hooked up to a machine that measures eye movements, and when he had achieved the lucid dream state he was to use his closed eyes to send a signal (left, right, left, right, very slowly). The eye muscles are one of the only muscles that remain un-paralyzed during REM sleep, so this was a pretty good plan. Both parties were successful in sending/receiving messages from a lucid dream, and lucid dreaming is now a scientifically verified fact.

I know my account of it isn't chock full of details, but you can find a full version of Laberge's experiment at www.lucidity.com, with graphs and big words and everything. For more general information on lucid dreaming, feel free to visit my site @ http://www.squidoo.com/getlucid.

Can you die while lucid dreaming?

The simple answer to this is NO, absolutely not! Lucid dreaming is not at all dangerous. There have been many, many studies done on lucid dreaming and they all show it to be perfectly safe. However, if a plane crashed into your house while you were sleeping, or something like that, then yes, i suppose you could die while lucid dreaming. In other words, you can not die FROM lucid dreaming. However, like anything, you can die WHILE lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming Anime Is lucid dreaming anime possible Are the characters cartoony?

In lucid dreaming, anything you can imagine can become part of your lucid dream. Whether or not the characters are Anime or cartoony would be entirely up to you. However, lucid dreaming is not as easy as some websites and blogs claim. Like walking on your hands, it is not a natural thing, not everyone is able to do it, and when taken to extremes it can be harmful. Natural dreaming and normal sleep are necessary for both physical and mental health.
