Almost all of my dreams now are lucid ones. In technical terms, lucid dreaming is dreaming where you're aware that you're dreaming.
When I'm asleep, in a subconscious state, I'm aware of it. Like, no matter what the dream is I know that I'm dreaming and I can pretty much make anything of it. Sort of takes the exciting aspect out of dreaming ):
Don't be condescending. (That's when you talk down to people.)
P.S. Just read the Wiki article.
How is the block you quoted condescending? I don't think you know what that means. It isn't talking down to people, that's being derogatory. Condescending is being arrogant or speaking obscenely to others in a way that insinuates superiority.
P.S. I was looking for a more straight-to-the-point, summarized response. Not something roundabout, potentially inaccurate, and inconclusive to my concern. Thanks a lot, Psychologist.

Adorable.

Wiki is definitely vague, inaccurate, and inconclusive.

Vague? Nice way of twisting around something because you were wrong again. I didn't say vague you idiot. I said it's roundabout - meaning I'm looking around a Wiki article full of technical terms that holds little relevance to the thread in question. I said it's potentially inaccurate because it's submitted completely by a third party. It's inconclusive because of the previous definitions.
Please don't make suggestions if you don't have valid troubleshoot or advice. If I wanted to use Wiki I could have. If I wanted to use Google I could have. There's benefit to asking a group of peers or a local community.
It's clear that you know very little about Psychology despite priding yourself in it.
I have this same problem, but I would barely even call them lucid dreams. It's weird, I can start imagining a situation in my head, just like a dream, and change whatever. It's how most of my dreams are now, a normal and regular dream is rare. It's depressing, I can't dream normally anymore, it's just like situations that I make up in my head instead of situations my subconscious makes for me.
Thanks for the input, guys. This is what I was looking for. Arbitrary answers to my arbitrary thread. Not Wikipedia, where it simply describes and defines the phenomena. I'm not looking for the meaning of the term, I'm looking for mutuality and insight.
Flare, the scenario you're describing is peculiarly similar to mine. There's still nuances to our cases though. I don't know how to really describe it, but it's eerie. I don't think it occurs all the time but I can definitely say when it does occur it's a lot more disconcerting than dreams being generated not at my discretion. "Randomly" if you will.
It is quite adorable that you don't even understand basic words that you use in a futile attempt to seem intelligent. Nothing new.
Dubs adorbs.

As opposed to a first party? Wanting information you wrote yourself?

Not when your topic is "Tell me what you know about it."

I have an extremely strong feeling that it's a negative effect resulting from the computer.

Lucid dreaming? No, it's not a negative effect. Most people actually aim to achieve it. There's no downsides. It's perfectly healthy and normal to experience. There are ways people study to trigger it (I don't know any, because I don't care about lucid dreaming), but I'm pretty sure "from the computer" isn't one of them. It's more diet- and mind-based, such as holding a thought in your head as you go to sleep, sleeping at a specific time at a specific tired level, etc. But that info's not hard to find for anyone wanting definitive information.

Nono not that, the weird dreams unintelligible and I were talking about where it's not quite a lucid dream.
I used to try doing lucid dreaming, but these weird dreams, almost daydream-like dreams, have kind of ruined it for me. A really good lucid dreaming resource is reddit.com/r/luciddreaming
Maybe you sleep is being disrupted, or your under too much stress, reason lack of heavy sleep? I know that if the TV is on when I'm asleep I'll start dreaming about whatever is on, until I become semi-conscious and start staging scenes and character movements.
