The question probably refers to "lucid dreaming."
a lucid dream is when your aware that your dreaming and sometimes you can control it
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.
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.
By becoming aware of that you are dreaming. This is usually done by setting an alarm that wakes you up in the middle of your dream.
The dream represents feeling that one's life is out of control. Having a "dummy" (crash-test dummy?) in the driver's seat symbolizes having no control over one's life.
You could "lose control" of a lucid dream only in the sense that your subconscious mind might take over control of the dream from your conscious awareness. At no point in any kind of dreaming does any factor outside your own mind control the dream. Dreams, lucid or otherwise, only exist within your own mind.
The scientific term for the ability to be aware that you are dreaming while still in a dream is called "lucid dreaming." It involves a state of consciousness where individuals have awareness and control over their dreams.
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.
It depends on what you mean by aware. If you mean aware of the world around them, yes it, happens all the time, your senses, especially hearing, do not shut off when you fall asleep, but most of the time, what you hear will be incorporated into your dream. If you mean aware that they are dreaming, or able to affect things in their dream, again, it is possible, Its called lucid dreaming.
Yes, lucid dreaming simply refers to becoming "lucid" or aware that one is dreaming.
It is not possible to "wake up" in a dream. When one awakens from a dream, one is no longer asleep, and no longer dreaming. Some individuals are able to become aware that one is dreaming while still in the process of dreaming, which is called "lucid dreaming."
Yes you could! It's called lucid dreaming and it is very fun and a self-refreshing experience.
