Original: A dream-initiated lucid dream ( DILD ) starts as a normal dream , and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream , while a wake-initiated lucid dream ( WILD ) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state , with no apparent lapse in consciousness .
Simplified: The person can then try to control things in the dream because it is not real . In a lucid dream , it is possible to do anything the dreamer wants , such as flying .
