Em:t judged the track to have enough merit to commission an entire album featuring Green, with an overarching theme, and thus Lucid Dreams was created.

The instrumentation and vocal effects that create the album's unique atmosphere were the work of Chris Allen, Will Joss, Tom Smyth and David Thompson, and the album was constructed by recording Green's narrative and the "case studies" at the Institute for Psychophysical research in Oxford, with the ambient music, noise and soundscapes added later at Square Centre studios in Nottingham.

One of the two male voices reciting the anecdotal case studies is that of Will Joss, the sound engineer of the album and a lynchpin of much of em:t's output.

In common with all other em:t releases, the album's cover is a library photograph of an animal, courtesy of The Designers Republic – in this case, an extreme close-up of the eye of a parrotfish.

Like most other em:t releases, Lucid Dreams is no longer in print, and copies fetch exaggeratedly high prices on auction sites such as eBay.
