Lucid Dreams begins in a controlled, self-aware dream state. As the dream progresses, it begins to darken and gives way to a nightmare comprised of multiple dreams of various levels of fright. The seemingly endless chain of events finally succumbs to lucidity and ends calmly with a hint of mysteriousness.

Special lucidity exercises have been known to treat people who suffer from nightmares. Lucid Dreams begins in a controlled, self-aware dream state.
