Hello! I just found this site through StumbleUpon. I usually skip sites that have a lot of text, but I actually started reading this one.

I have been interested in lucid dreaming for years. When I was younger (from about age 11 to 15) I had many lucid dreams. Usually it was in the form of realizing a nightmare is a nightmare and, though not being able to stop it, I could become completely uninvolved and just lay there whilst being eaten by a crocodile, etc. I still have lucid dreams to a small extent (usually if I'm falling I can tell myself that I'm not really falling and hit the ground without pain) but I really miss the level of lucid dreams I used to experience. I am hoping to become better at it, and maybe learn to control my dreams... although I know that isn't necessarily the outcome I will have.
