exploring lucid dreaming

After typing "lucid dreaming" into Google, this is the first link I decided to click on. This seemed like a credible source because it was written by a psychologist that specializes in dreaming. I read information that I had known from previous research and had also come across some facts that I didn't know. Ever since I first heard the term lucid dreaming, it has spaced my interest and i always want to learn more about it, and how I could possibly experience it. After reading some personal experiences from random people, it seems a little dangerous but something in me wants to experience what it is like to be able to have control over what is happening in my dreams. The idea of being able to experience things that aren't humanly possible sounds so amazing to be and I want to test my boundaries and try adventurous things, even if it's only in my sleep. According to this article, people that participate in lucid dreaming are more alert and aware during the day which could be beneficial. Personally, I've attempted to have my own lucid dreams, but have been unsuccessful. I stumbled across a phase I hadn't previously heard of before; mutual dreaming. It seems to be a form of lucid dreaming in which you can meet up with another person in your dreams, and do the impossible together. Both people must be lucid dreaming and you will have had to agree to meet at a designated place. Although this form of dreaming is harder to achieve, it isn't impossible. The woman that wrote this article believes that lucid dreams make her feel more awake and refreshed, while a regular dream is tiring and often depressing. In her opinion, lucid dreaming is not dangerous in the sense that lucid dreamers are aware that they are dreaming and won't attempt anything crazy i real life if they are aware they aren't dreaming.
