In a lucid dream, everything seems so real, and you can usually exert some control over the content and direction of the dream. Or, you can trigger specific types of lucid dreams by providing external stimuli, such as a specific piece of recorded music.
Some lucid dreams do get out of control, however, and become nightmarish.
But pleasant, controllable lucid dreams are the general rule. Thus armed, you can enter that Never-Never Land anytime you want. There is a simple test that is not only strange but probably anomalous. During your dream find a shop or traffic sign, even a dollar bill or newspaper. Then, find a word of four or more letters.
