Jus' roam about Dreaming, interesting one .. Isn't it ??

'Lucid dreaming' means that while you are dreaming, you are conscious of the fact that you are dreaming, rather than taking everything what happens to you for granted. The term was coined by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucidity usually begins in the midst of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream.

'A Study of Dreams' - By Frederik van Eeden. Based on his sixteen years personal experience and observation, Eeden distinguished nine different kinds of dreams, each of which presents a well-defined type.

Read 'Dream Types' @ 'A Study of Dreams'.

Eeden believes that 'dreams are not purely arbitrary, and that there must be some kind of scientific order behind them'. "To deny may be just as dangerous and misleading as to accept", he says.
