Becoming aware of your sleeping self could relieve anxiety or tap the creative unconscious

In Brief

  1. Approximately eight out of 10 people have had a lucid dream, in which they were conscious of their dreaming, at least once.
  2. Parts of the brain tend to work together more intensely during lucid dreaming than in other dream phases.
  3. Lucid dreaming is useful for treating chronic nightmares and perhaps even anxiety.

I moved my eyes, and I realized that I was asleep in bed. When I saw the beautiful landscape start to blur, I thought to myself, ?This is my dream; I want it to stay!? And the scene reappeared. Then I thought to myself how nice it would be to gallop through this landscape. I got myself a horse ? I could feel myself riding the horse and lying in bed at the same time.
