Hi,

I decided to finally find out more about this lucid dreaming stuff! I am, from what I gather here, a natural lucid dreamer. I have been ever since I was a little girl. I really had no idea that this wasn't something everyone could do until I had some really deep conversations with my husband a while ago. He still has trouble believing me and he tells me he's jealous.

I think it started when I would have nightmares as a child, maybe 4 or so, I'm not sure. I could easily wake myself up from the dream. I guess from that I started being able to control my dreams and play in my dreams. I can't remember a time that I didn't know I was dreaming when I was.

Honestly, I've gotten to the point where dreaming is something I like to be aware of and just watch and see what's going to happen, sort of like watching a movie, but if something is happening that I don't like or something is frightening to me, I'll change it. I have no idea how I do this, just that I do and I always have.

I'm also a very light sleeper. Always have been and I wonder if that might have something to do with this? I have a lot of questions and I would love to talk to other people like me. I know now that I'm not the only one and it's very comforting! I'm not some freak!!
