Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is when one is aware that they are dreaming. It is like your consciousness is leaking through your subconscious.

From personal experience, whilst I am asleep with my eyes closed, I feel like they are open and I can vaguely see the shape of my surrounds through my dream, it is like my dream is being projected in to my bedroom like a film and I am watching it. Due to feeling like my eyes are open watching a film of my dream I often feel as though I have not been asleep. I sometimes feel as though the energy I use in my dream e.g. Running around uses up my energy in real life, it is an odd feeling when I wake up.

Many people often talk of controlling their dreams like being able to fly around, taste meals and so on but I have never been able to control what was happening/ feel what was happening in such a way. I just had the ability to control the narrative a little more and feel like I was actually using the energy of the actions in my dream like in this one dream I had, I was using up all my energy in a fight and when I awoke I felt very tired and lacked energy despite having had a lot of hours of sleep.
