Lucid dreaming occurs when you become conscious during a dream. This allows you to control your dream character.
Lucid dreaming is a skill. Anyone can learn it, but it takes time and practice. The time and practice are well worth it. I had my first lucid dream 5 months after hearing about it. Some people are faster learners.
The most common way to induce a lucid dream is to program yourself to notice the "weird" stuff in dreams… you perform "reality checks" to see if you’re dreaming or not. For example, you might be dreaming and notice that you can’t read the numbers on a clock. "Why can’t I read those numbers? I can normally read… wait, this must be a dream". Then

USE LUCID DREAMING TO CULTIVATE PEAK PERFORMANCE, SOLVE PROBLEMS, AND OVERCOME FEARS
Dream imagery is convincingly real and vivid. There’s depth, color, dimension, and experience interwoven into dream imagery. An apple in a dream feels real and can be experienced with all senses, despite it only occurring in your head. On the other hand, when you imagine an apple in your head while you’re awake, it appears dim and weak, like a small flicker. Yet we rely on waking imagery all the time to envision futures, set goals, and mentally rehearse and practice skills (public speaking, sports…). Dreams can be used instead for these things. Learn to become conscious during a dream and use it to become a better public speaker, overcome the fear of approaching women, or simply envision your ideal future self.
Dreams are the most vivid type of mental imagery most people are likely to experience. The more the mental rehearsal of a skill feels like the real thing, the greater the effect it is likely to have on waking performance. Because of this, lucid dreaming, in which we can make conscious use of dream imagery, is likely to be even more useful than waking mental imagery as a tool for learning and practicing skills.
This technique has been explored heavily with great success by the community of avid lucid dreamers. It’s a shame that a fundamentally useful skill like this hasn’t entered the mainstream.
The possibilities are limitless. Dream of approaching the opposite sex with power and self-confidence. Perform piano recitals in a lucid dream before doing it in real life.
