"Lucid Dreaming is the art of dreaming while awake and awaken while dreaming."
You might ask, WHAT?!
To answer your question, it is essential to grasp the meanings of "Dream" and "Awaken." The condition of absolute awareness, or being "awakened," transpires when an individual is fully conscious of themselves and their immediate surroundings. It manifests as a heightened state of joyfulness and carefreeness. Individuals who do not engage in practices such as meditation, prayer, fasting, or any form of mental discipline may encounter this heightened awareness sporadically throughout their lives. Conversely, those who practice meditation will likely undergo this experience more frequently. In this state of consciousness, the world and emotions become more vivid, and the sense of presence intensifies.
Dreaming refers to the complex and imaginative mental experiences that occur during sleep, primarily in the rapid eye movement (REM) stage. During this phase, the brain engages in a dynamic interplay of neural activity, creating a vivid and often surreal world within the mind of the dreamer. Dreams encompass a wide range of emotions, scenarios, and sensory perceptions that may be fantastical, symbolic, or reflective of one's waking life. While the exact purpose of dreaming remains a subject of scientific inquiry and debate, it is widely recognized as a natural and integral aspect of the human sleep cycle. Dreams can serve various functions, including memory consolidation, emotional processing, problem-solving, and creative inspiration, offering a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the subconscious mind.
Throughout their daily lives, most individuals oscillate between the realms of dreaming and full awareness. They concentrate on a thought or task briefly, only to have their minds drift away, leading to procrastination and a detachment from reality. This cycle repeats consistently, spanning from the moment they wake up until they return to bed each day.

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? The eyelids automatically shut during sleep, serving to prevent excessive dryness of the eyes and protect them in the absence of wakefulness. Another reason may be to avoid external stimuli and allow the body to engage in reconstruction and rest.

To test this, press your hands against something and try to immediately become aware of yourself and your surroundings (become alert). Once you are conscious, proceed to assess the reality.

The tumultuous state arising from various exit methods does not refer to vigilant strategies or other tactics leading to an exit from the body. Exit methods are planned for specific times when a dreamer has entered sleep paralysis but is unsure how to disengage from their physical form. This is precisely the moment when they become ensnared in the midst of vibrations, hear threshold-breaking sounds, are unable to move, and experience difficulty in breathing with a heavy chest. Novice lucid dreamers reaching this phase of sleep paralysis often struggle vigorously to shake themselves awake and unconsciously attempt to return to a normal state.
