When i was very young i could lucid dream, without actually knowing what it was. it was only a few times thinking back were i had a quite a bit of controll over my dreams. so i was just wondering if anyone else did it when young? Stories?

Me too, my first lucid dreams were as a child and would normally occur during nightmares. I would use my lucidity to defeat whatever was troubling me in the nightmare.
yep I remember several, from when I was young...
Me too. Interesting thing is, though, they weren't really like what we try to do now to induce lucid dreams. The ones I remember, for the most part, I just spontaneously knew I was dreaming, in the same way that you sometimes just know details about dreams, even if you don't directly see them. It wasn't like I saw something that made me think I might be dreaming, it was just one second to the next I had that knowledge. I had pretty good control, though I didn't try a whole lot. Mostly just flying, to be honest, though in my earliest LD I was trying to help out a DC.
for me it felt kinda like a game with a character i could just control for no reason and I was like o, its a dream....
I was lucid once when I was 10. I realized I was dreaming, then I pinched myself and it didn't hurt
then I had like two or three false awakenings....
thats the only time I can recall a lucid dream when I was a kid
When I was young I used to have nightmares and I first developed a method of escaping them when I was about 7, by rapidly blinking 5 times - so I was definitely aware that I was dreaming and was able to get out of it using that method. I also remember another nightmare I had when I was a kid about Freddy Krueger (lol, i know) but I learned to overcome the fear by making him do something goofy instead of try and kill me... so I think I realized I had more power over my dreams than I realized at a pretty young age. I started learning to fly when I was young as well and I'm really good at it now because of all the practice :) Also, TONS of false awakenings..
