I have read through the site and I am still just a bit confused.

When I am dreaming I dont realize that It's even me in the dream. Some people have said that if something weird happens in their dreams they say to themselves " hey im dreaming " and they become lucid. My problem is I dont even realize that I am "me" during the dream sometimes. I know all of the people in my dreams and recognize my friends. I dont have control of what I do so I cant really stop to realize im dreaming. I feel emotion but dont really think for myself. I seem to be completely controlled by the dream itself. My perspective in which I see the dream changes sometimes also.

Is this what it is like for everyone? If so what should I do? I am begining to write down what I remember of my dreams too to see if it helps.

Im sorry if I overlooked something on the site that explained this already...
