lucid
Plainly put, coherent
Lucid means clear and easy to understand: a lucid explanation, lucid prose.
Applied to people, it describes mental clarity—someone who is lucid is thinking and expressing themselves coherently: She remained lucid despite the fever.
A lucid dream is one in which the dreamer knows they're dreaming and may control events.
The word suggests light cutting through fog.
