Dream on

Lucid dreamers — people who are aware they’re dreaming while it’s happening — are helping scientists probe the sleeping mind in real time, Maria Temming reported in “Dispatches from the dreamscape” (SN: 8/26/23, p. 16).

Several readers shared their experiences lucid dreaming.

“I have been able to control a dream just about as successfully as a captain can control an oil tanker. I can steer the dream but not completely control it,” reader Peter Adams wrote. “I remember [my lucid dreams], and three have become the basis of science fiction stories I am writing.… I even dreamed a musical composition that I wrote down when I woke up.
