Let me ask you something,
Do you remember what you dreamt last night ?
I am sure your answer would be "No". But have ever thought why can't you remember it?
Science simply explains the phenomenon of dreams as , It is a process by which your sub consious mind rearranges all the information that you have gathered through out the day. So that you use same knowledge or skills the next day. Will you be fascinated if I tell you that you can actually come out of your body and do whatever you want and return back when it's over !
I know the above lines seems superstition and next to impossible. But it's true.
Now let's see the scientific explanation of why you must experience Lucid dreaming atleast once in your life, and how to do it?
What are dreams ?
Dreams are the language of your sub conscious mind. Various scientific studies states that dreams are very important for your mind. The information that you get from get from your dream is ultimate and can give you many ideas, which you cannot imagine when you are awake. The inventions that we use now a days was someone's dream yesterday.
It may seem very easy to us now, but the time it was created nobody could even imagine it's possibility in future. The idea was basically made by the sub conscious mind and delivered to them through their dreams.
What is lucid dreaming?
Lucid dreaming is a dream in which you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming. It even helps you in law of attraction. What you want you should first manifest it into your dream world. It will attract your reality itself.

Your sub conscious mind sends you message every night, which is known as astral dreams. The dreams you see has a deep connection with your reality. So don't take it lightly! Why do we see strange things in our dream which makes no sense in our day to day life!
Science has dedicated a special branch to understand our dreams, popularly known as Oneirology. Even with all these efforts we couldn't found why we dream ?
The answer to all these questions lies in the world of spirituality.
How to do Lucid dreaming?
Is it possible to remember everything happened to you when your spirit enters in the inter dimensional realm?
The scientists of Max Planck institute asked a person to fall asleep and raise his left hand followed by right one.
Background
Since we get partially paralyzed while dreaming. So it is not possible to move our hands Intentionally
Result ;
But the person did the exact same thing he was asked to. The researchers conducted this experiment on thousands of people and got the same results. Which finally proved it to be true not a myth.

How you can lucid dream?
After knowing so much benefits of this super power aren't you curious of trying it?
You can also do the same with some very easy and applicable methods.
Reality check method;
One of the most simplest way to do this is to check the reality of surrounding time to time. You could adapt the habit of counting your fingers or keep asking yourself, am I dreaming? Is it real?
You would be surprised to know that you will never see ten fingers in your dream.
Why do some dreams come true and some don't ?
Before understanding this, you first need to understand what is sleep ?
There are five different stages of sleep. REM ( Rapid eye movement ) is one of the them, and in which you dream. You will enter in this stage after 90 minutes. A REM cycle consists of 25% of your sleep which may occur several times throughout the sleep.
During REM the signals are sent to your spinal cord to shut off movements creating a temporary inability to move the muscles of your arms and legs. This serves as a protective measure to prevent you from injuring yourself or others while you dream.
But what if this signals got disturbed?
Let's find out the answer.
What is sleep paralysis?
Imagine you are just about to fall asleep and you start to count sheep in your head, and all of a sudden you feel a pressure on your chest and you sense a presence in the room. You cannot move a muscle but you can see your surrounding and are awake and alert. This is sleep paralysis.
Sleep paralysis is a momentary alertness but loss of voluntary muscle movement, that occurs when you are just about to fall asleep or when you are just waking up.
It can last anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes and it affects about 8% of the general population.
Common sensation and emotions could be fear, hallucinations etc. Some people even describe hearing some footsteps getting closer or feeling as if they are about to die.
Sleep paralysis is different from nightmares.
There are two types of sleep paralysis depending on time when it occur.
1. Hypnagogic or predormital
It occurs at sleep onset or just before falling asleep.
2. Hypnopompic or postdormital
It occurs just after waking up.
What causes sleep paralysis?
Sleep paralysis is thought to occur due to an error in the flip-flop switch controlling REM sleep .
REM switch works as a switch between two stages
1. REM on , when REM occurs
2. REM off, when it does not
This mechanism allows a smooth transitions into and out of REM sleep. This REM switch works in opposition to the wake sleep switch.
Normally REM on occurs at the same time you are asleep. However when sleep paralysis occurs the neurons controling the wake switch and the neurons controling the REM off switch are weakened. This allows on neurons to prevent muscle movement while the body is awake which should not be happening. This causes sleep paralysis.
The most common feeling during REM is fear this is due to a part of the brain known as the amygdala, which is important in fear processing is active .
Factors affecting sleep paralysis;
- A twin study conducted over 862 participants showed that genes accounted for 52% of the occurrence of sleep paralysis.
- Sleep disorders ; Sleep paralysis is a common symptom of the sleeping disorder called narcolepsy.
- Sleeping on back; Sleep paralysis also mostly to occur if you sleep on your back.
- Not getting enough sleep; If you regularly don't get enough sleep you are likely to get this.
- Poor mental health; It is also generally associated with sleep paralysis.
There is no treatment for sleep paralysis. This problem is preventive and can be managed by introducing some good changes like yoga and meditation in your daily routine.

Summary;

And when you come back you erase everything intensely you saw from your mind,. Isn't it ?
This is the reason why you don't remember your dream or just remember bits of it. You would never know what you had experienced. When you wake you feel everything is normal, but you actually have experienced many amazing things while dreaming.
According to the spiritual experiences of different people you spirit experience astral travel in your dream, and inters into the inter-dimensional realm. But you don't have memories of it.
