When I dream, I am very very rarely completely lucid. I've never tried to carry RC's across reality into my dream world, and I haven't been able to yet. But for years I have dreamt in a semi-lucid state, not consciously realizing I'm dreaming, but knowing that this isn't entirely real. I tend to be able to float or fly slowly, usually assisted by jumping-- the best way to explain this is to say that I have slight telekinesis over my body; I have telekinesis on other things; and I almost always remember that if things get crazy, I can wake myself up by tearing apart the dream or materializing an exit door. But it's almost like my conscious mind doesn't often want to take part in my dreams; I understand I'm dreaming, but I really don't make myself lucid or consciously shape it until I get into real trouble. While I understand this isn't incredibly common and I should explore the possibilities more, I would kind of rather just be aware and shape my dreams myself, which is why I'm trying to immerse myself in things like DV. Hopefully by getting my mind into thinking about dreams and RC's, it'll carry over and I'll be able to really lucid dream.
