In a 2004 study on lucid dream frequency and personality, a moderate correlation between nightmare frequency and frequency of lucid dreaming was demonstrated. Some lucid dreamers also reported that nightmares are a trigger for dream lucidity. [60] Previous studies have reported that lucid dreaming is more common among adolescents than adults. [61]
Techniques for extending hypnagogia range from informal (e.g. the subject holds up one of their arms as they go to sleep, to be awakened when it falls), [48] to the use of biofeedback devices to induce a "theta" state – produced naturally the most when we are dreaming – characterized by relaxation and theta EEG activity.
A false awakening may occur following a dream or following a lucid dream (one in which the dreamer has been aware of dreaming). Particularly, if the false awakening follows a lucid dream, the false awakening may turn into a "pre-lucid dream", [2] that is, one in which the dreamer may start to wonder if they are really awake and may or may not come to the correct conclusion.
Being able to control a dream, which goes a step further than someone simply realizing they are dreaming, is even more difficult and something that experienced lucid dreamers struggle with, he said.

After This Man's initial burst in popularity, users on forums such as 4chan, as well as blogs like ASSME and io9, became suspicious that it was a guerrilla marketing stunt. [6] [10] A reverse-IP lookup of ThisMan.org revealed that its hosting company owned another domain named guerrigliamarketing.it, [9] "a fake advertising agency" founded by Natella that "designed subversive hoaxes and ...
Dream control has been reported to improve with practiced deliberate lucid dreaming, but the ability to control aspects of the dream is not necessary for a dream to qualify as "lucid"—a lucid dream is any dream during which the dreamer knows they are dreaming. [93] The occurrence of lucid dreaming has been scientifically verified. [94 ...
A lucid dream is a type of dream in which the dreamer becomes aware that they are dreaming while dreaming. In a preliminary study, dreamers were able to consciously communicate with experimenters via eye movements or facial muscle signals, and were able to comprehend complex questions and use working memory.
