This is my first post on the site, I've regularly had lucid dreams for years (normally 2 or 3 a week, sometimes a few each night for days on end) but I've only recently found out that this is unusual. I've never tried any of the things that people talk about to help me LD for fear of losing them, although I have noticed that if I half wake up and then go back to sleep I nearly always have them, but I regularly just snap into lucidity while dreaming and I don't know why. For example, a couple of nights ago, I was just having a regular dream and sudenly thought 'This is a pretty boring dream, I'm going to be a super hero for a bit.' So I was! There was even a super vilian who kept trying to wake me up so that I'd lose all my powers. At one point I thought he'd woken me up as I was tied to a bed and I figured that I wouldn't be in a bed if I was still dreaming but then realised that I wouldn't be tied down if I was awake so I went back to being lucid almost imediately.
