-Lucid Dreams are so realistic that by concurring your fears in a dream you will most likely conquer your dreams in real life. In the movie “vanilla sky” The charter that Tom Cruise plays is deathly afraid of heights. In the movie he uses a lucid dream to overcome this fear by jumping off of an extremely tall building and attempting to fly. In the end this method helped him.

Many people who suffer from reoccurring nightmares have not have gotten a good night’s sleep in a long time. Doctor Stephen LaBerge helped people just like this who have nightmares to take them and turn them around into something good using a lucid dream. In a regular dream the dreamer is not in control but is the victim to their own nightmare. But while having a lucid dream, you know that it is a dream and you have the ability to control it into anything that you want. One patient of doctor Stephen LaBerge explains that she has the same nightmare every night for a very long time. In her dream a shadowy figure chases her through a deserted build, through many different dark rooms. By learning how to lucid dream she turned to face the shadowy figure and watched it disappear. She goes on to explain that she has not had a nightmare in months, ever since she learned how to lucid dream.
