It is no secret that quality sleep affects the overall health and quality of life of each of us. It is one of the basic needs of every living creature. During sleep, the breath slows down, the pressure decreases and the whole body relaxes. Although many people think they do not have dreams during sleep, they are wrong. Everyone has several dreams during the rest. However, most do not remember them when they wake up.

Lucid dreaming can be trained
There are several techniques for learning lucid dreaming. The most common is to learn to test reality. Before you try to dream lucidly, write down your dreams, right after you wake up. It will help you remember your dreams and your lucid dreaming will be much more successful.
Test simple inscriptions during the day – inscription above the store, advertising in the subway. Make sure the inscription does not change. If you do this during the day, it is very likely that you will do so in a dream. But the inscriptions in a dream usually do not make sense or change considerably. Time has the same effect. Watch your watch during the day and watch the passing seconds for a while. In a dream, time will pass at a different pace.
