I'm a newbie to dreamviews.com. I've had a few lucid dreams in the past, but I haven't had any for a while and when I did have them I wasn't that great at controlling them, although I could run around and do whatever I wanted. I love lucid dreaming mainly because of the incredible detail and because I can basically do whatever I want in the dream. But I wanted to learn more techniques on how to have them since I haven't had lucid dreams in such a long time. My dream recall is okay, but I want to improve that, too.

I have a question to ask people who have lucid dreams often; since I am the only one out of my friends and family that has ever had lucid dreams, I've never been able to ask other people about their experiences. What do you do in your dream when you become lucid? I mean, there are endless possibilities, I have no idea what I would do. I usually just try random things and explore. But is there anything you always do when you have a lucid dream?
