as I said it is not easy to maintain lucidity for me, as I often will drift in and out of controlling my own dreams. But for a while I had horrible, terrifying dreams due to the immense stress I faced in high school. And I often have to 'kick' myself awake and then immediately return to sleep in order to attain lucidity when I am not so lucky as to have dreams like the ones I have mentioned. A lot of my dreams, however, are very symbolic, and eerie, sort of like the game Limbo. It is just so... odd.
