I've also had lucid dreams ever since I can remember. Not every night, but usually at least twice a month, and sometimes every night for a week. Varying degrees of lucidity, varying degrees of control--sometimes I know it's a dream but can't do much about it, sometimes I can do nearly anything I want. I never realized until I read the site that most people can't without a lot of work. Kudos to you folks!

LucidDreamz, I can see why your friend isn't as excited about it as people who have only done it a few times. In my case, it's not as exciting now as when I was a little kid, but it's still a lot of fun and I enjoy doing it. Plus I have an extraordinary number of nightmares (often several a week), so lucidity can help with that, too. At the very least, I can sometimes become lucid enough to wake myself up before it gets too bad. I don't like waking myself up though, it tends to give me a headache.

I'm new to the forums as well, Claro. But you all sound like a friendly bunch, so I think I may hang around awhile.
