Hello there, I'm new here. My name is Manon. I'm from The Netherlands, so sorry if my English is a bit off.

I am a semi lucid dreamer. So far I've had 3 full-on lucid dreams where I was fully aware and everything was under my control. But overall I have very vivid dreams which I can clearly remember in detail, about 2 or 3 every night. Strangely enough I can generally control most of my dreams without being too aware, I still often confuse them for being real.

I've taught myself to be able to fly in all dreams and I can also force myself to wake up from nightmares. I've created my own 'dream city' in which I know the city layout, e.g. the way to my house or mall. Many of my dreams are repetitive; same place, same storyline with just minor detail changes which are under my influence.

I joined this forum because I would like to become even more aware that I'm dreaming, so I'm basically looking for some tips. I also find a lot of things in my dreams funny or weird and wonder if there's perhaps a reason behind it and if they are recognizable for other lucid dreamers.
