A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state, with no apparent lapse in consciousness.

Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established.
Lucid dreaming has always been an area of interest for me, and since the film 'Inception' it's popularity has boosted. The idea of being able to control dreams to me is just amazing and so recently I've decided to make a real effort to try it, so I'm trying to better my dream recall.

So can anyone here lucid dream? Or is anyone else trying?
