Hi! I was born a lucid dreamer, so I find this site very interesting, because I always thought everyone was aware that they are dreaming. I actually don't have any signs at all to tell me that it's a dream. I just start my dream knowing that it's a dream. I actually can't remember when the first time I controlled my dream. I just tried it and it happened. I recall that I was young and it was a nightmare, and I just tried to turn it into a happy dream, and I did. I was truly surprised when my friend linked me to this site and started talking about how she would love to be able to do that.
