Friends have told me about the idea of lucid dreaming in the past but I've only recently started exploring. The main reason I'd like to try it is because I find that some of my dreams actually end up happening in the real world. Problem is, I don't get enough info from the dreams to know when or where they will actually happen. For instance; about 3 months before my brother had a serious motorcycle accident I dreamed that I saw a man lying on a stretcher with his face torn off. In the dream I had no idea who the man was or what had happened to him. Then I got the call, went to the hospital and there was my brother on a stretcher with no face. The dream instantly came back to me and I realized that the man from my dream was indeed my brother. He has made a full recovery by the way. I kept telling myself while he was in the hospital that I could have done something to stop it if I had only paid more attention to the dream.
So, I decided to join this site and explore the possibilities. please feel free to offer any advice.
