The Lucidity Institute answers Frequently Asked Questions about Lucid Dreaming

“Often, the first thing that attracts people to lucid dreaming is the potential for wild adventure and fantasy fulfillment. Flying is a favorite lucid dream delight, as is sex. Many people have said that their first lucid dream was the most wonderful experience of their lives. A large part of the extraordinary pleasure of lucid dreaming comes from the exhilarating feeling of utter freedom that accompanies the realization that you are in a dream and there will be no social or physical consequences of your actions. One might think that this is a rather intellectual concept, but an ecstatic ‘rush’ frequently arises with the first realization that one is dreaming.”

I often have lucid dreams of fantasy, rehearsal, confidence-building and problem solving. It can also be used for overcoming nightmares, healing and transcendence.
