So You Want To Have a Lucid Dream? (New York Times)

I have lucid dreams ALL the time. They're never scary because I know I'm dreaming and I can change the narrative any time I want. I usually let them go wherever they're going to go, and sometimes the results are very funny. My lucid dreams come most frequently during daytime naps or while I'm hitting snooze for 20 minutes each morning (I know, I'm the WORST) so if you want a lucid dream, try those!
