Did anyone else of you experience Lucid Dreaming, or dream controlling before you even knew what it was?
I’ve been able to Lucid Dream and control my dreams for years without knowing what I was doing.

It started several years ago, when I was younger.. I was maybe 7 or 8 years. I remember my first Lucid Dream, it was a nightmare and I was a Disney character. Somebody wanted to kill me I think, but then I realized I was dreaming so I hid under a table, covering my eyes screaming “Wake up! Wake up!” and I did.

My first Dream Control experience was shortly after. I used to have the same dream over and over again. And once before I went to bed I thought that I’d try to do something different than what I usually did in the dream. So when I (in the dream) walked to the left, I suddently tried to walk the opposite way, and I made it. But my whole dream started shaking and I woke up.

Later on I’ve had more of these dreams (they last longer and I have more control than before), and just recently I had a dream where I was in total control over what I was doing during the whole dream. It may sound kind of stupid, but I went around having sex with all these people, and it was fun because I knew I was dreaming. I’ve also experienced waking up after a dream (false awakening I think) wanting someone or something special to appear in the dream, and when I “fall asleep” again I continue on that same dream, only with that person or that thing in it. And I’ve had these dreams where I’m in my bed and I think I haven’t fallen asleep yet but I can hardly move and I almost can’t talk at all, it’s really frustrating and scary. And suddently I wake up. And wake up again. And wake up again. Until I finally wake up for real.

I’ve never known what these dreams were until I came over this forum. It’s so weird that people try so hard to LD and Dream Control, when I have done it for such a long time without even knowing what it was. I’m glad this is something that more people than me experience. I’ve tried explaining my dreams to my family and boyfriend but they don’t understand a thing. I’m relieved now that I know I’m not crazy.
