Is lucid dreaming an indication of higher then average inteligence?

Q:

A: First… to all of the people who do not believe in lucid dreaming, I think you should do some research on a Doctor named Stephen LaBerge. He studied dreaming at Stanford University, and conducted multiple studies with multiple people, and proved the existence of a conscious dream state (which is what lucid dreaming is). He was able to teach other people how to consciously enter a dream. He even created a technique called WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming), where he taught people to go from reality (being awake), straight to a dream (lucid dream), almost instantly.Before you jump to conclusions, and accuse lucid dreamers of being drug users (see answers above), why dont you educate yourself first. You probably believe in god, but there is 10 times more evidence of the existence of lucid dreaming than there is god. If you don’t believe, then simply move to the next question, and save your ignorant comments for those questions.Now that I got that out of the way, I will answer the question… Having the ability to dream lucid does not mean you have above average intelligence. Anyone can have lucid dreams, if they truly believe in them. I know people with very little intelligence at all that can dream lucid almost every night!If you are curious about lucid dreaming, check out my blog.

What is the difference between realizing you are dreaming and actually having a lucid dream?

Q: when i tell people of lucid dreaming they say that they have done it before but they confuse it with being in a dream and then suddenly just realizing that you are dreaming….how can i make them understand that it is different??

A: There is no difference – a lucid dream is exactly that: becoming aware that you are dreaming while in a dream.However, people can then usually control their dreams with practice. So I would say the people who became aware within a dream are really having a lucid dream, they may just not be advanced enough to have some control of what is going on wihtin the dream.

How realistic is lucid dreaming and how do I know that I am lucid dreaming?

Q: I was just browsing the internet and ended up on lucid dreams and now i am fascinated with them. I have read some techiniques that help you lucid dreams, but I don’t really know what I should look for when I manage to lucid dream. I guess I am just worried that if I think I am lucid dreaming I may end up doing something like screaming at the top of my lungs and it ends up that I am not dreaming and I end up in some trouble.
