Hey everyone, this is my first post. I had a really great lucid dream when I was little, only i didnt know what it was and i didnt know that it was possible to regulate or control these dreams in the ways that I am reading about here. That's what makes me so excited, because I found this site by pure chance by surfing around, and that dream has stuck with me all these years because it was so simple and so awesome. In the dream, i told my best friend at the time (in my dream) that i thought it was a dream, and he said "really? how do you know" and then i just started flying around in complete control and Could actually feel the roller-coaster like dropping feeling in my stomach when flying around. I woke up thinking it really happened, but even after i realized it didnt happen i was still stoked about it because it felt so real and incredible.

Ive had a couple dreams since I read this site (about a week and a half ago) and was wondering what is that maximum nights anyone has had LDs in a row? From what I understand it is above average to have more than a couple in a week, but has anyone had them every night? All of this is so mysterious to me, and to be honest a little bit psychologically creepy, but i am really excited to be able to explore the possibilities of this new idea. And in one of the LDs I tried the "spinning" technique to maintain the dream, and it started to work and the dream clarity started to come back, but my alarm went off. Can you literally do anything in these dreams? Because ive had a couple of dreams where i knew it was a dream but couldnt run away from something that was chasing me. Anyway, sorry for the stream of consciousness of this post, and i look forward to learning about this!
