    Lucid Thinking

    In the simplest of terms, ‘lucid’ can be defined as clarity in thought and communication. It refers to the ability to express ideas in a clear, unambiguous manner, or to understand concepts or situations with ease. It often describes a state of mental transparency or coherence, where thoughts are easy to understand and articulate.
