lucid dream
Conscious sleep fantasy
A lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer becomes aware they are dreaming while the dream is still happening.
This awareness sometimes allows the dreamer to exert control over the dream's content—changing the setting, summoning people, or directing events.
I had a lucid dream last night and decided to fly over the city.
Some people practice techniques to induce lucid dreaming, treating it as a skill that can be developed through meditation or reality checks during waking hours.
