Lucid Dreams are a form of dream in which one is aware they are dreaming. This allows the dreamer to control what happens in their dream, creating a vivid experience in an alternate reality. In a sense however, these dreams are just as real as what you perceive to be life.
Good techniques to use in addition to this video to increase the likeliness of having a lucid dreams:
Reality testing; techniques include counting your fingers, looking in the mirror, checking the time, touching solid objects, pinching your nose. Do these consistently throughout the day to increase your chances of doing it in a dream. While dreaming, if any of these techniques manifest an abnormal result, it will indicate you are dreaming
Waking up in the night and going back to bed: this will increase your alertness and therefore the chances of you dreaming when you go back to sleep
MILD: this technique involves remembering old dreams before you sleep and making note of any abnormalities or unnatural abilities you may have had in that dream, making it more likely for you to re-enter that dream.
Keeping a dream journal: Keeping track of your dreams can cause you to dream more often.
WILD: WILD involves laying down or relaxing until you have a hypnagogic hallucination, or one that occurs when you are about to fall asleep
