I have to write about this for an actual book, so yay, killing 2 birds with 1 stone yeahhhh ;)
though this won't be exactly what I will be putting in lah
the outline that my teammate Angeline has so awesomely typed out (with a bit of modification) is this:
- What are dreams?
- Occurs during the REM sleep
- Lucid dreams
- Difference between a normal dream and a lucid dream:
- A dream in which one is aware that they are dreaming and is able to make conscious decisions and control his dreams

Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind, usually during REM sleep (characterised by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep) when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake.
A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming.
In normal dreams, events are generally not within the control of the dreamer. However, in lucid dreams, the dreamer has greater chances to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment.
It is shown that there are higher amounts of beta-1 frequency band (13–19 Hz) brain wave activity experienced by lucid dreamers, hence there is an increased amount of activity in the parietal lobes making lucid dreaming a conscious process.
