Im 16, just learned about lucid dreaming about 2 months ago. Thought this might be a good site to get some facts and make some friends in the process. It's pretty hard for me to grasp the concept. I mean when you are asleep, you're out for 6-8 hours average. Lucid dreaming is where you control your dreams ,right? When you sleep, time passes by instantaniously! I mean its seems like two minutes later, you're awake. Ever since I learned about lucid dreaming, ive been interested in it. So yup It's cool to see that there are people my age interested in this as well. Who has done it? What does it feel like? Some crack pot I was talking to in DV chat said it was like the matrix. He said lucid dreaming was lke living a second life or in another world. An example he gave me was "If you make a fist right now, or look somewhere, it will be as if it is actually happening." Is he crazy or does that sound about right? It sounds pretty cool I guess. Is there a way to induce it? I've never had one and would like to see what it is like.
