Resurge Review
What physically causes these lucid dreams. Resurge Review Why do I only remember pieces of my dreams so rarely and why do i wake up when having them. Studies have shown that lucid dreaming is related to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, this is the part of the brain which is usually inactive when sleeping but activates during a lucid dream.
Why do you wake up. When the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activates it often jars the sleeper into consciousness, however tests have shown that partial activation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex can allow for prolonged lucid dreaming, literally walking the line between dreams and reality!
This may all sound like a lot of wasted time but researchers are hard at work finding applications for these new discoveries, for example helping those who suffer from chronic nightmares who could benefit from the knowledge that it "not really happening".
Lucid dreaming is the art, one would say, of keeping awareness while in a dream state. Unlike in normal dreaming, a person can actively change either the environment of the subjects or actions they take in their dream.
