Lucid dreams are my favourite types of dreams, they are by far the most entertaining. Psychologist Frederik van Eeden came up with the term "lucid dreams". A lucid dream is a dream when the person sleeping is aware that he or she is asleep, the lucid dream can seem real or vivid depending on the sleeping person's self-awareness. But that is just lucid dreaming as a whole, there are different types of lucid dreams. One type is called dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD), this type of lucid dream starts as a "normal" dream, then the sleeping beauty concludes that "hey I'm dreaming". Another type of lucid dream is wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD), this is when a person goes from an awake state to a dream state, without a lapse in consciousness. WILD is similar to a hallucination, a wild hallucination. The third type of lucid dream is mnemonic-initiated lucid dream (MILD), this happens when a person says they will have a lucid dream the next time they take a trip to the unconscious. The next update will go more in depth with lucid dreams, maybe even how to MILDly dream.

There are so many types of dreams, I didn't know dreams could be so interestingly extensive and I had no idea that they could be unconsciously controlled by our minds. Now that you mention it, I realized that I have had a couple dreams like these descriptions and they have been pretty funny just by the way I've changed them unconsciously.
