I've been lucid dreaming since I was young. I had no clue what I was doing, but when a dream became a nightmare, I took control and decided to do whatever. I had no clue what it was called until I came here (thx Google) and it sounds pretty awesome. I'm going to try to intentionally dream like this tonight, and see what happens. EDIT: I tried to pull an LD, but my dream wasn't vivid enough. Maybe tonight.

I'm sure that you'll learn how to lucid dream on command here. Nightmares are a great path to lucidity.

Welcome, I had exactly the same thing as a kid When something attacked me, I often became lucid. Didn't know what it was called though. The first LD I had involved gorillas chasing me - I didn't know what to do, so I just curled up and let them kill me. Not the most pleasant introduction I've learned a lot since then. haha Try not to get frustrated if you find that you struggle to induce them - it took me more effort than I expected. You'd think that a natural LDer would find inducing LDs to be easy, but .. bleh. That said, you have an advantage with your LD experiences so far Enjoy the forums

After you took control, what did you end up doing? Anything fun? Were you able to stay in the dream for long?

This happens to quite a few people. Glad to here that you are using that seemingly unpleasent thing as a gateway to lucidity. If you continue to pursue it diligently, I'm confident that you won't be disapointed when you have some good LDs. They are incredible... Good luck, and good dreaming! See you around the forums. ~Spock
