But she adds that lucid dreaming also can be used to confront nightmares, deal with problems in the waking world and enhance general consciousness. Keelin, a camper from Napa who goes by only her last name, says she started lucid dreaming spontaneously when she was 11 years old after her father died. Before his death, Keelin says, her father had been confined to a wheelchair, but in her dreams after his death, he was not. The dream world was a different place, but that was the world where I had to be. Keelin used the dreams to talk to her father.
Lucidity is just awareness.
You have to decide what you are going to do with that awareness.
