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
