Hi, I'm 23, female and live in the UK.

Ever since I found out about lucid dreaming a few years ago I've always been curious to try it. Although reading about night terrors has put me off- is it true that I could get them while trying?
Anyway I decided I will risk it.

I've always had quite vivid memorable dreams and can remember some from years back. Sometimes my dreams affect my whole day, not usually nightmares just bad dreams. So I would like to try and sort that out too.

I've has false awakenings lots of times before and once I "woke up" and heard music playing and people moving around the house (I was alone) but couldn't move and just fell back to sleep. I'm not sure what that was.

Also when I have nightmares sometimes I pick up a tv remote or xbox controller in my dream and I can press pause and it ends. That's lucky for me but weird at the same time.

Going to read up on lucid dreaming now, this forums great!
