(I knew I was dreaming but I didn't want to change the dream) I had been put into a team of 10 people around my age (15-17) and we was to live and work together our whole lives. When we did something good we gained skill points (Like on a game. '+1 Focus' for example.) As I got to know the people I was with (Never seen them in real life) it started to become more fun. In the group I was in, I was chosen to be the team leader as on the first day I protected the the entire group from getting attacked by ginormous frogs. These occurred as someone tried to gain points my going searching in a huge lake to take out an enemy. On his way back many of these gigantic frogs followed him without him seeing and was about to attack us. I took charge and instead of attacking these powerful frogs, I got them to listen and fed them which befriended them. This was where I gained my first point 'Bravery +1'. At this time of the dream I saw a girl in my dream that I liked. A few days later I was with that girl which made the dream 100x better for me as I had feelings for her. I have never loved anyone as much as I loved the girl in the dream. The problem was, she may not even exist... In conclusion, the dream after awakening, I decided that it was similar to films such as 'divergent' and 'Maze Runner' which is probably why I loved it so much.
Lucid dreaming began to be one of the best things of my day and after researching about it, I found out that you can do anything you set your mind on and I saw a few examples such as flying and even looking in a mirror and seeing your insecurities. I wanted to test these and on that night I fit both of them things into the engine of my lucid dream. The problem was that when I looked in the mirror I just look really ugly like shrek and didn't go into detail with it. When I went onto flying it was not how you would expect. It was like a cartoon as soon as I went in the air it turned into a cartoon like life and I wanted to go somewhere far so I flew to Egypt, the only thing I saw was sand and a pyramid. How do I make this stuff more realistic?
Ever since I was a kid I had lucid dreams. Although I was having them I didn't know what they were. I have been to many places where I feel as if I know where I am although when I wake up I had never seen the places in real life although in the dreams I knew exactly where to go at all times. My question is how did I start lucid dreaming?
