Mastering Lucid Dreams: A Journey of Control and Confession

The article discusses the author's experience with lucid dreaming, facilitated by the app Awoken, which combines daytime training with nighttime sensory cues to enhance dream awareness and control. Lucid dreaming, where the dreamer is aware and can sometimes control the dream, is linked to cognitive benefits like improved self-awareness and mental health. Techniques such as reality checks and dream journaling are recommended to achieve lucidity. While apps like Awoken don't directly cause lucid dreams, they support the process by providing reminders and cues to enhance dream awareness.
