The Senoi (also spelled Sengoi and Sng'oi) are a Malaysian hunting and gathering people who were reported to make extensive use of lucid dreaming to ensure happiness and mental health.

The original field research was done by Kilton Stewart before the Second World War and published in the early 1950s. Parapsychologist Charles Tart and pedagogue George Leonard later publicized Stewart's account in books and at the Esalen Institute retreat center.

Later researchers were unable to substantiate Stewart's account. In 1985 G. William Domhoff argued in The Mystique of Dreams that the anthropologists who have worked with the Temiar/Senoi people report that they are familiar with the concept of lucid dreaming and that it is not of great importance to them.

The Senoi people of malaysia are famous of thier art of dream interpretation,which they practice until recently. Traditionally, they used their dreams to controle their waking life. Each day,adults used to meet with each other to discuss their dreams in order to solve personal and community problems. At breakfast every day, children told their dreams to older family members and learned dream interpretation in the discussion and analysis that fallowed.Children learned to use their dreams creatively and change feelings of ill will, fear, anger or hatred into feelings of good wiil. For example, if a child had a nightmare about falling, his elder told that it was a wonderful dream; it was the quickest way to contact the spirit world,and their was nothing to be afraid of. In his next falling dream he should relax and see where the dream might take him. If a child dreamed that she was attacking someone,she needed to apologize to that person and share something good with him. The goal was for dreamers to gain control of their dream world and then the waking world.In this way,the Senoi lived peacefully within themselves and their society,without psychological problems, crime, or violence.
