In most of our dreams, our inner eye of reflection is shut and we sleep within our sleep. The exception takes place when we seem to awake within our dreams, without disturbing or ending the dream state, and learn to recognize that we are dreaming while the dream is still happening.
Not all lucid dreams are useful but they all have a sense of wonder about them. If you must sleep through a third of your life, why should you sleep through your dreams, too?
I can't remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It's frustrating because sometimes I dream that I'm watching a really good movie.
Insofar as she recognized at all that she was dreaming, she realized that she must be exploring her subconscious mind.

The consciousness of lucid dreaming is a cultural evolution. It's something that we are talking about and learning about, not biological evolution.
Lucid dreaming lets you make use of the dream state that comes to you every night to have a stimulating reality.
We are near waking when we dream we are dreaming.
I have lived most of my life with the conviction that I don't dream, because I never could retrieve a dream.
Lucid dreaming is dreaming but you being aware that you're doing it.
Sometimes we don't know we're dreaming; we can't even fathom that we're asleep.
There is both a skill factor and an effort factor in dream recall. People can develop dream recall skills, such as lying still in the morning and writing down whatever comes to mind.
Your experience is a dream; so is my experience. This stuff about how the frontal cortex is repressed during dreaming, lucid dreaming presents an obvious contradiction to it. The only difference is sensory input.
