Trans, used as a prefix, means across or beyond. Several airlines use(d) trans as part of their name. Two examples are Air Transat from Canada and Trans World Airlines (TWA) from USA.

Lucid dreaming happens when you become aware that you're dreaming and not awake. With practice, you may be able to direct what happens in your dreams.
4. Ancient bread recipe named after a famous Greek thinker.

Answer: Playdough

Plato was one of the great ancient philosophers. Some people mistakenly pronounce his name as though it were spelled with D rather than a T.

From the Greek,' philo' means love and 'soph' means wisdom. Combining them they become philosopher meaning lover of wisdom.
5. American radio station geared toward lexicographers.

Answer: WXYZ

Lexicon refers to a dictionary, while graph comes from the Greek graphos 'to write'. Combined they read as lexicographer, meaning 'one who writes dictionaries'.

Today, most U.S. commercial radio station names (IDs) start with either a K or a W followed by three more letters. These are known as call letters.

Answer: Prorogies
