The  lucid  dream  normally  begins  in  any  one  of  the  two  known  ways. 
These  complicated  sounding  scenarios  are  really  quite  entrancing. 
For  instance,  a  dream  initiated  lucid  dream  otherwise  referred  to  as 
DILD starts  out as any  normal  dream would,  then  when  it  concludes 
it  does  so  in  the  same  dream  state,  whereas  the  wake  initiated  lucid 
dream WILD occurs when the dreamer goes from the normal waking 
state  directly  into  a  dream  like  state  with  no  apparent  lapse  of 
consciences.  
The  rapid eye  movement  that  usually  in  detected  when  a  person  is 
asleep  signifies  these  states  of  lucid  dreams.  Upon  discovering  this 
connection, further tests were done by the various research bodies. 
Though   not   really   very   conclusive,   most   parties   agree   that   the 
dreamer can produce lucid dreams and manipulate the contents while 
being  conscious  of  being  in  the  dream  like  state.  With  this  exciting 
discovery between the dream and the dreamer many more researches 
are  currently  being  carried  out  to  further  explore  the  tremendous 
possibilities in this area.
Though  some  psychologists  are  already  using  this  method  to  treat 
their  patients,  the  accredited  evidence  is  not  enough  for  everyone  to 
follow  suit.  These  psychologists  have  recommended  the  lucid  dream 
inducement  to combat  the  impact  of  nightmares,  depression,  self 
mutilation and other problems in the real world
