Lisann Valentin had just moved houses in New York and was feeling stressed when she met her grandfather in a dream.

The actor and writer had been a 'lucid dreamer' - someone aware they are dreaming and can sometimes control what is happening.

Her grandfather appeared to her repeatedly in dreams, and showed her different dream symbols to communicate with her.

He showed her flowers, which Valentin took as an indication to 'stay the course' of her decision to move - and to explore Puerto Rican heritage.

Valentin says that her 'key' to lucid dreaming is to not 'force' anything, and to have no expectations about what will happen.

She advises not drinking alcohol, and practicing mindfulness activities such as meditating during the day .

She says that people often fear that they might 'not return from lucid dreams'.
