i remember one dream that got me really interested in figuring out how to control my dreams

i was about 7-8 at the time, and i went downstairs (my house was normal but there was a clock that had a bird come out of it, and there wasn't one there in reality) and i go into the office at the time, about 20 yards away, but it felt like it took 2 hours to get there.
i was kinda worried, i heard weird noises so i looked inside and saw this half spider half mom creature eating my mom. naturally i went to yell, and guess what. no noise came out. i've been THOROUGHLY trying to figure out what the HELL happened that night but everytime i wake up its "...ugh..school." instead of "what was my dream?"

so tonight, after reading the site, and some forum topics, i'll be (with any luck) having a lucid dream.
i put the pen and pad next to the bed with nothing else there. and i'm hoping i fly tonight


how many of you experienced a lucid dream directly after reading the site without even having dream recall? just thinking about it allll day long waiting to go to bed, and you get lucky in a sense?
