Hi.

I'm really interested in lucid dreaming but I'm not sure if what I've been experiencing is lucid dreaming or not, I don't think I am. I've gotten into the habit of recording my dreams and I can remember them alright. I sometimes write key words, other times I write a story.

How my dreams usually go: in my dream at that moment I realize what is going on and during that time I can think to myself and I remember what I am thinking or doing and I can make decisions to what I want to do in it or sometimes I just do things without thinking (does that make sense?) I'm not sure if I am able to tell whether I'm in the dream or not, but it is pretty real. There are no cues that I see.

What I want to do is be able to do is to actively control my dreams. In the guide he said that you could solve problems in your dreams, but I do not want to overtake the dream all the time. I am still kind of fuzzy though on the whole idea of lucid dreaming and what it is, and words like MILD, WILD, etc. even though I read what it stands for.

Anyway, that's me. I'm glad I came across this forum.
