I've had lucid dreams all my life, but uncontrolled ones, and I didn't realize there were other people who did it, or that there was so much research into it. A year or so ago, my friend asked me if I ever had lucid dreams. I didn't know what it meant, so I searched for it on Wikipedia, to my amazement!

My weakness in real life is that I can never shut my brain off. I get headaches from constantly thinking and analyzing. Perhaps that is the reason lucidity came so naturally to me.

Last night I had a semi-lucid dream... I wasn't quite there, but almost. It reminded me how amazing they were, and made me join up here. I want to train myself and save my ability. I find this very compelling.
