Uh yeah, I've been interested lucid dreaming since I was 9-10 but gave up after about 4 months of no luck.

I think the main problem may be like not keeping a dream journal? I always tell my self "I will have a lucid dream tonight" before I go to bed. I recently got back into lucid dreaming after about 3 years.

How real is a lucid dream like? Is it more like a movie? Or is it more like me how I am typing right now?

Anyhow, the closest I ever got to Lucid Dreaming was floating around in this red carpet room with heads all around following me with their eyes for about 6 seconds then I woke up out of fear. Was this a lucid dream or no? And can anyone tell me how? Thanks.
