You know what, you can train your brain to have lucid dreams in a systematic way, every night. You just have to do reality checks very often, like every 15, 30 minutes, and be very committed to it. Counting your fingers with the hands in your back is a good reality check, because you can't reliably count things when dreaming. Reading anything twice (a sign, your clock...) is another popular one, because in a dream words and numbers change when you read them twice. Anyways, the idea is that, by making this strong habit when you are awake, it will eventually be passed on your dreams.

In a lucid dream you can totally control your dreams, but there's a few drawbacks:

- Dreams are only vivid in the REM phase, and specially on the last REM iterations at the end of the night, where they can last up to 15-20 minutes and be repeated every few minutes. But if you don't sleep enough time, you will have no opportunities to have a lucid dream, or it will be something like 2-3 minutes long.

- Intense activities like having sex usually wakes you up. There are a few people that says that this can be controlled over time though.

- With a good training, having regular dreams, where you are not lucid, are no longer possible. People will often get tired of lucid dreaming and just want to stop, but untraining the brain takes time and you will continue to have lucid dreams regardless of your own will for a while.
