Apparently, as a character type, the crone shares 
characteristics with the hag - an enlightened woman 
who can induce "sleep paralysis".

Lucid dreaming does not affect the chances of sleep 
paralysis but some lucid dreamers use this as a method 
of inducing a lucid dream.

So, a 'lucid dream' is a dream in which the sleeper is 
aware that he or she is dreaming. From what I've read,
the phenomenon of lucid dreaming has been well 
established by scientific research. 

Dream Yoga has been practiced by Tibetan Buddhists. 
You may not be aware of the Trungpa Shambhala project. 

In Tibetan Dream Yoga, maintaining full consciousness 
while in the dream state is part of the training - very 
similar to 'witnessing sleep' - which helps the individual 
understand the unreality of waking consciousness as 
phenomena.
