Is it true that Lucid dreaming, becoming aware that one is dreaming while still asleep, is a real phenomenon verified in sleep laboratories?
Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed reviews state that lucid dreaming—becoming aware one is dreaming during ongoing sleep—has been physiologically validated for decades, and one paper describes objective laboratory validation using polysomnography with pre-agreed eye-movement signals. A further account reports LaBerge's signal-verified lucid dreams in laboratory conditions.
