A lucid dream takes place when we are aware that we are dreaming, while we’re in the process of doing so. People who have a lucid dream, are able to influence it and even take control of the narrative.

Lucid dreaming has many benefits: It can reduce recurring nightmares and help the dreamer take control of their subconscious and influence the dream to take on a soothing and more pleasant narrative. This can be extremely helpful in cases of anxiety and/or insomnia.
