Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I have always been very very interested in lucid dreams.

When I was very young, around 4-8 years old, i would have the same dream all the time, but it was just me looking around my room. Everything I saw, the normally large things were tiny, and the normally small things were huge. It was such a scary dream to me, only because everything looked so weird. I had this dream so many times (25+), and it has always been the same. I also knew that I was dreaming in these. Weird.

A few years ago, I had an LD via DILD. I had a party at my house, but it got out of control, so I was like "I don't want to be here anymore!" and a friend at the party said "Just wake up, it's only a dream." So I did. But it was a false awakening . I thought that dream was one of the weirdest, because someone TOLD me that I was dreaming.

Now I have started to try to lucid dream again, and I had two so far. The first one I don't remember that well, but I realized that I was dreaming and I just got so excited that I immediately woke up.

The second, which I had two nights ago, was longer than the last. I distinctly remember looking at a blond haired person, short in length, blue eyes. I couldn't remember if the person was a male or female (weird), but they said to me "You do know this is a dream, right?" and I thought to myself "Oh wow, I am dreaming! I better not get too excited, it's only a dream!" and i think I tried to spin, but my dream changed after that and I lost it. I didn't wake up, though.

Is that weird that people tell me I'm dreaming, or is it just luck? haha?

Edit: Also, in 7th and 8th grades, I used to keep a dream journal in an *NSYNC (LOL) notebook, and to this day, I can remember the dreams that I wrote in it. I remember them with the most vivid memory, to this day. Plot and all. haha. (6 years ago?). I still remember a lot of other dreams I had without writing them down, years old.

Edit 2: I also used to have to listen to a hypnosis tape before I went to bed to lose weight (per order of my parents haha) and what I had to do was very similar to the SUNEYE technique, where you concentrate on your "third eye", but that was only for a moment. Then we had to stop feeling our limbs. It is great that most of the techniques require this, because I can do it on command when I can't sleep (insomnia, i can't shut off my brain ) But that's usually the best way I have had very vivid dreams. (How I got the 2 recent DILDS)
