Hello all! I first read about lucid dreams a while ago and have been having them for a year or so. I write down my dreams and do reality checks when I remember to. This looked like an interesting site so I decided to join. =) I have a couple of questions.

- How often do most people have lucid dreams? With me it seems to vary, sometimes I will have several within the same week, sometimes none for weeks.

- About a month ago I had a weird experience where I had a false awakening within a lucid dream, but I could tell I was still dreaming because I could see a sculpture that isn't in my bedroom. It was a red face with an open mouth. However, I then woke up and saw that what was in my room was a red bag in a similar shape, so that it almost looked like a face. I was definitely awake at this point, so could I have had my eyes open while I was asleep? Has anyone had anything like this happen?

Thanks for any help, I look forward to using the site. ^^
