Have you ever realized you were dreaming… while still asleep? It’s called lucid dreaming and it’s real.
Scientists have studied it in sleep labs.
During normal dreams, the parts of your brain that question reality go quiet. But during lucid dreams, brain scans show those areas turning back on, even while the body remains asleep. That’s how someone can suddenly know: this is a dream.
Some people have lucid dreams more often because they train their mind to recognize when they’re dreaming. One reason this works is that dreams struggle with detail especially hands. Fingers blur or don’t quite add up. That small mistake is often what tells the brain: this is a dream.
Your mind is powerful enough to recognize reality even while you’re asleep. Comment below if you’ve had lucid dreams.
