Hello,
I stumbled upon this forum when I was googling 'lucid dreams.' I have always been fully aware that I am dreaming while in my dreams for as long as I can remember. I always tell myself in my dream that I can simply wake up if I want to. I will have a dream here and there where I am not aware I'm dreaming, but this probably happens once or twice a year. I thought that was pretty normal and that it happened to everyone often. I remember being told before that I have lucid dreams when I would talk about my dreams with other people, but I never really thought much about it until today. A friend of mine told me today that lucid dreaming is uncommon and that it shouldn't be happening as often as it does for me. Is this true? I don't see how it's hurting me in any way... I enjoy the experience for the most part.. and when I don't, I simply tell myself to wake up. I know very little about lucid dreaming and how common it is, so I'm hoping to learn from others on this forum!
