Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleepâwhen brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable. The length of a dream can vary; they may last for a few seconds, or approximately 20â30 minutes.
A lucid dream occurs when you realize that you are dreaming. With practice, you can induce lucid dreams, (LDs), and maintain your lucidity for extended periods. Anything you can do while awake you can do in a lucid dream.ncrease your dream recall and write your dreams down in a journal.

By keeping the journal, your mind becomes saturated with the idea that dreams are important.
