As a kid, I have always had vivid Lucid Dreams and Astral Travelling experiences on a daily basis. I used to be able to control my dreams.Whenever I had nightmares, I would instantly know that I'm dreaming and find a way to kill myself so I could wake up.

Of course I had no access to the internet then and i had to develop "my own" techniques to lucid dream.

However, it seems I have lost, or forgot how to lucid dream. Every time I become lucid, I will instantly wake up no matter how hard i try. I know there are techniques to stay in a lucid dream longer. Usually I could spend hours in a dream only to wake up and realize 1 minute has passed by.

Has anyone experienced the same thing as me? Have you ever wondered how you, without knowing, controlled your dreams and developed your own way of dealing with them?
