Is it forbidden to practice lucid dreaming, in which a person can control what they see and do things that cannot be done in a waking state, such as sexual intercourse?
Controlling dreams is a kind of fantasy because the sleeper is in a state akin to death and is not aware that he is dreaming. The interpretation of this goes back to the nature of dreams, or their being a sport of devils, or that a person is between sleep and wakefulness. These studies are a superstition wrapped in science, and they could be an entry point for devils. Some of the accurate results are merely self-talk. These studies promote religiously forbidden matters, such as claiming to engage in sexual activity and accessing the unseen, which only Allah knows. Applications for dream control have been released, accompanied by music, and reality testifies to the baseless claims of these studies. Therefore, it is advisable to stay away from them and engage in what is beneficial.
