Lucid Dream

A lucid dream is one in which the dreamer knows they are dreaming and can sometimes steer the plot. Most people stumble into lucidity by accident — a clock that will not read the same twice, a light switch that does nothing — and wake up moments later. The experience matters to this archive because several accounts describe lucid dreams that refused to obey: doors the dreamer could not open, figures that stayed when everything else changed, and details later confirmed awake. Where control ends and something else begins is exactly the kind of question our reader jury argues about.
