So I've been a member of this forum for over 4 years now and probably haven't visited here in almost just as long - to be honest, I had completely forgot about the 'concept' of lucid dreaming and this website.

So last night I randomly landed back on the site and noticed I had an account. I was reading around the forums, reminiscing about how cool it was to lucid dream and about how I was never able to RC using my hands in the past.

Amazingly, last night as I entered a dream I realized I was dreaming and instantaneously looked at my hands and, to my amazement, I had real, normal hands! I looked again seconds later and I was missing fingers, parts of my hand etc.

I continued the dream having full awareness and had a pretty awesome dream and remember celebrating (in my dream) that I was able to RC looking at my hands, yay!

I've always been able to lucid dream, it's amazingly easy for me. I simply go to sleep and once a dream starts I instantly know I'm dreaming and can manipulate my dreams - I wonder why it's so easy for some and not for others?!

Even when I wake up, if I try going back to sleep I usually re-enter my dream at the exact place it left off within a few minutes. I've even been able to wake up in the middle of a dream, go get a drink, come back and continue in the same dream - it's so odd.

The whole concept of dreaming is odd, it's even weirder that when I know I am dreaming, I can wake myself up to check if it's time to get up for work and if I wake up and it isn't, I can just sleep and dream again.

Dreaming is a truly magical and strange thing.
