"Lucid Dream" was written and produced by Adam Young. [3] The track runs at 128 BPM and is in the key of C minor. [4] The song has been described as the "most EDM-sounding track" on the album. [5] In an interview with Songwriter Universe, Young stated that the song was based upon a strange dream he had while writing the album. [6]
"I kept a dream journal next to my bed and would often jot down things I remembered upon waking. After several months, most of the journal consisted of bits and pieces of imagery, but one night I had the most vivid dream where I was able to fly. The moment I woke up, I wrote down everything that happened and the song was more or less written. I've not experienced a dream quite like it before so I'm glad I was able to document it and put it into a song." [6]
"Lucid Dream" was released on January 12, 2018, as the lead single from his Reel 2 EP. [7] It was also included on Cinematic as the album's third single.
