Lucid Dreaming

I have always been fascinated with dreaming. Dreaming in color and lucid dreaming are sometimes things not understood or even believed to exist depending on who you ask.

So, I have compiled some research into lucid dreaming, I found it fascinating… maybe you will too! As with many other posts, there is some redundancy in the data portrayed here as I am referencing the way people are talking about it online.
