I realize that just beginning here, there are a number of areas which I could probably go and find the information, and it's probably rude to begin like this, but as of yet I haven't found the question on the forums and so I'd like to ask.

When I was young I could easily have a LD, it's never been a problem. Hand in hand with the idea that we all achieve things differently, I've always done well with control and self realization in dreams. I've read about the erotic dreams people are having or trying to have, and some beginning views on the ethics of dreaming. Essentially it comes down to that "to thine own self be true" which is where the problem comes in.

Does anyone else have trouble keeping themselves from being violent? I can just not try to recognize that I'm dreaming, and I do all right, but the moment I see that I can do as I please, a fairly ugly side of me comes out.

Things of note, I'm a decent guy, I like to build, work etc. I love school, college is great, I'm not unhappy in any way I know of, and when I'm awake, I'm not psychotic. Violent thoughts on sex, mayham, and generally uncouth things are par for the course, but it's not even edging on difficult to keep everything under wraps. But in my dreams I let go, and it's to the point that I'd just assume not LD. any ideas? Is this a common theme for others? It's not life shattering to not LD but it takes some fun out of sleep.

Any information would be appreciatied.
