It is able to realize that you're in a dream, and control it.
Today, an hour ago from writing this blog post, I was having broken dreams. They were all in first person and I couldn't see myself in the dream.
One of them was operating a website trying to delete two posts from my imgur account. I got really scared that I've accidentally uploaded it and it might leak out. I was able to delete one post and I couldn't find the last post to delete. I got so scared that I realized it's a dream.
Next dream was watching an award function. I did seem to know the faces, probably Bollywood actors, but their faces were a bit blurry.
I realized it's a dream but there was too much data and I was indoors and I didn't get to try anything here.
Lucky for me it transitioned to a different scene where I was with one of the female actors in a small place. This was the best moment to try manipulating the dream. I tried to change her face to my crush, but I could not provide sufficient data and her face changed to someone looking like my crush. This was my first success (mostly).
Second was that I was able to introduce a new object in the scene and interact with her. This felt so amazing that I was smiling in real and I could feel it. If you have experienced that in your sleep then you know it doesn't end well, and the dream ends.
I tried getting my hands to appear but it didn't seem to work and dream got back to the award function.
Third thing I was able to do was change the whole dream something like switching a channel. I was trying to get an open environment with fields, trees, mountains, but got a static like changing of a TV channel then I could see a Windows XP wallpaper I think which did have the aforementioned objects.
Then the dream ended, and I woke up to just document my success of controlling a lucid dream.
I will remember this feeling for a long time, and maybe I could control more lucid dreams.
