I occasionally have lucid dreams without trying to do so. They're almost always a lot of fun, basically the best sandbox game you can think of.

I've been pondering trying to trigger them, but I've been a bit spooked by suggestions that I'd have to try to learn tp distinguish dreams from reality.

I had lucid dreams fairly regularly during my teen years (I suspect due to some strangeness caused by sleep apnea). These days it's treated and I don't have these anymore. Though, for anyone interested I think it's totally worth trying to trigger it. It's an interesting experience.

That's a lie. It's not Inception.

after having such dream, did you stay awake less/more refreshed? any difference in your (real) life?
