Lucid Dreaming

         
      The controversial lucid dreaming has been trending for the past two weeks in 9gag and many people are curious and interested on knowing what it really is and how to experience one. 



  
  The original 9gag pic:




According to Wikipedia, A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that he is dreaming. In a lucid dream, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Some people say that lucid dreaming is a really cool experience because you can freely control everything in your ‘own world’. However, some say that it can be really creepy because once you enter lucid dreaming, you will be paralyzed and won’t be able to move your body entirely and scary things will begin to happen, like scary figures of an old woman will appear and disturbing noises will occur.




Many people are too scared to try because they believe they'll see this:



Out of my own curiosity, I myself tried lucid dreaming to find out what it really feels. It was a strange experience and the feeling that you know that you are dreaming is really amazing. In my dream, I was lying on my bed but I can’t move (this is what they call sleep paralysis). What I saw was some weird shapes in a white background in my room. The scary thing is I felt someone enter my room and I sense him lay beside me while staring at me. I can hardly see him or her because I was paralyzed. Things became scarier as he come closer and closer to my body so I decided to just wake myself up, and thank God I did. It was a really an awesome experience.
