I just found out what has been happening to me, and that what I'm doing is lucid dreaming. It's been happening sometimes for years now and it scared me so bad and just happened again recently so I thought I'd try to figure out what was happening. Every time I do this I see scary images and it always creeps me out. I'm a naturally scared person, I'm scared of everything, I wish I wasn't but what can ya do? If I could learn to control it and find a way to get past these fears and stop seeing the things I do in these dreams I might not mind so much and I think it could be fun. But can someone just give me an overview of maybe why this happens and if I should continue doing this on purpose or what I'm really new to this whole concept so can someone help me figure this out??? thanks
