Thread: Is lucid dreaming satanic?

Because the term "lucid dreaming" is a fairly recent term, I wonder about other dreams in the Bible. Back then, for all we know, lucid dreams were the norm. The people we read about in the Bible certainly had a more dynamic experience of spirituality (visions, healings, angels, demons, etc), maybe the lucid state of consciousness was commonplace to them. I don't know. Just free-form speculation now

1) "the man" was Paul.

2) I have wondered before if the ability to know whether or not we were in a dream is something that we have lost over the ages because of losses in DNA over the centuries and that some people may still have it. I don't know though, because those people would be born with it, but all naturals have a time that they started and progressed. Normally going from 1/month to 1/week to 1/night to multiple a night.

@Tygar and everyone
Titus 1:15
Kind of goes well with Tygar's point.
