Van Eeden studied his own dreams between January 20, 1898, and December 26, 1912, recording the ones he deemed most important in a dream diary. The term lucid dream was coined by Dutch author and psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden in his 1913 article A Study of Dreams, though descriptions of dreamers being aware that they are dreaming predate the article. Further developments in psychological research have pointed to ways in which this form of dreaming may be utilized as a form of sleep therapy. Many different theories have emerged as a result of scientific research on the subject and have even been shown in pop culture.

Lucid dreaming has been studied and reported for many years. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may gain some amount of control over the dream characters, narrative, or environment.
