Hi
I am not a lucid dreamer. (I have had on occasion had a lucid dream though, more on that later)
I am, however, an author. I am currently working on a story about a guy that has a continuous lucid dream. I have been studying lucid dreams for the past month while working on this story and am trying to get more info on them, and how I can incorporate what I learn into my story. I thought the people who have lucid dreams may be able to help. I also think this is a fascinating subject.
about the story:
A man, Bob, who has just about the worst life possible. small, week, sickly, cruddy job, no family (grew up in orphanage) a crazy ex wife (will explain that more if needed), broke, no car, etc. you can imagine. Also has a female friend named Tammi who he was in love with in HS and still is, who he never asked out, who is now married to someone else (5 years after HS graduation) basic common loser scenario.
He goes to sleep and has a continuous lucid dream. When goes to bed in real life, wakes up in dream life. Here, he is exactly the opposite of his waking life. Big, strong, healthy, married to the woman he is in love with, Tammi, has a great family, has his dream job, rich, lives in a great house, etc.
So far in the story he has had 3 nights of a continuous lucid dream, always wakes up in his bed in his dream then goes about is day. He knows he is dreaming, and He is learning how to control what is in his dreams. He has had no prior lucid dreams in his life. His best friend (while he is awake) the same girl he is in love with since HS, and is his wife in his dream, Tammi, is a research scientist, and starts to research dreams- from a physical aspect (brain function).

Tammi
Her husband is a psychologist who studied dreams and helps him understand the dream part of it. I plan on him continuing these dreams till he is asleep all the time, or some other plot twist I haven't come up with yet.
Hopefully through this story I can shed some insight to others about the workings of Lucid dreams, and how to control them, and such.
What I am hoping I can get help with from this community is more information on dreams, how to control them, and if a continuous lucid dream like this is even possible. How rare would it be to have a dream like this with no prior experience with them
I did have an interesting dream I can remember vividly from a few years ago. I was working on a story, and was having trouble with one part of it. When I went to sleep I got the scene of the part I was working on in my dream. When I woke up I wrote it down. I can still remember it to this day. I have had a couple others in my life, but these are fading after 25 years.
This story is a work in progress, so if any would like me to post, or send them a copy, I will, so you will better understand the story, and be able to help it along further if you are willing.
the picture attached is what the friend/wife would look like. Picture taken by Lev Dolgatshjov. forgot what website.
Any help I can get would be appreciated.
