Lucid dreamers use five categories of strategies to control dreams and produce impossible outcomes: verbal commands, manipulating dream objects or the environment, using the dream body, managing emotions, and other methods. 35 specific strategies were identified from 107 adults who lucid dream at least once a year. Some strategies are used during the dream, while three are applied while awake. These findings may inform lucid dream therapy for chronic nightmares.
