ELI5: Lucid Dreaming?

I have searched for answers and there isn't really anything in ELI5, it's just a bunch of people talking about their dreams.

I would like to know what is lucid dreaming and how does one achieve such a thing? From my knowledge it seems to be a dream like state where you control everything. But how is this possible; Am I even correct? I appreciate every answer and will upvote them all just so I get an explanation. Please remember, could you actually explain it as if I am a literal 5 year old, if not, explain it in the easiest way please. Thanks in advance.

A lucid dream is not a dream in which you can necessarily control everything, but rather a dream state in which you become aware of the fact that you are dreaming. Usually people wake up when they realize they are dreaming, so a lucid dream occurs when you realize you re dreaming and just go right on dreaming. Often, you can control certain aspects of the dream, which is pretty freakin' cool!
