What is lucid dreaming?

Lucid dreaming is dreaming with the knowledge that you are dreaming. Usually when something strange was happening in a dream so you realize that you dream. Most people who remember their dreams have experienced this, often waking up immediately after the realization.
Each person is capable of lucid dreaming, ie, the management of their dreams. Lucidity is not a gift or something supernatural, it is a skill which through a series of exercises easy to learn.

How much control is possible varies from dream to dream and from dreamer to dreamer. Exercise contributes to the improvement of control over happenings in dream. At the very least, lucid dreamers can choose how they want to respond to the events of sleep. For example, instead of to try to avoid a hazard such as natural when you do not know that you are dreaming, you can decide that you come face to face with the terrifying figure of sleep, knowing that you can not harm.

Why to have lucid dreams?

How would you like it if you can without any risk to try absolutely anything?
The laws of physics and society in a dream not work. The only limits are your imagination achievements. Much of the possibility of sleep lost is because people do not recognize that dream. Once in a dream not lucid, think and act as if we are in waking reality. This can lead to unreasonable frustration, confusion and waste of power, and in the worst case, the frightening sea. Our misdirected efforts to perform tasks waking life in dreams, have resulted in anxious dreams in which appliances are not working properly, we're late for meetings, we can find the right path and so on. Anxiety dreams and nightmares can be overcome lucid dreaming, because if you know you are dreaming you do not have to be afraid of. The events in the dream can not hurt. Lucid dreams, in addition to helping you keep a dream in a satisfactory way, enjoy fantastic adventures, and overcome nightmares, can be valuable tools for success in your waking life. Lucid dreamers can deliberately trigger natural creative potential of dreams for problem solving and artistic inspiration. Athletes, public contractors, and the like, can be prepared, to practice and adjust their performance while they sleep. This is only a slight taste of different ways in which people use lucid dreaming to expand their lives. All of us spend a third of your life sleeping, why from that time do not get the most?
