QUESTION:
Would the practice of lucid dreaming be permissible?
ANSWER:
According to the Wikipedia, a lucid dream is a type of dream in which the dreamer becomes aware that they are dreaming, while they are dreaming. It is a trainable skill.
If the dreamer is aware of what he or she is dreaming, then it is an indication that they have control over their thoughts. If they are experiencing permissible thoughts, then there is no issue with it. However, if they are fantasizing or enjoying impermissible thoughts (such as fantasizing of a non-Mahram), then lucid dreaming will not be permitted.
