My name is Tatiana. My best friend got me interested in the idea of lucid dreaming, and since then I have only had one for a brief period of time: I went swimming in this murky green water, and soon I found I was breathing underwater. Something clicked in my mind, an the water became clearer, but when I came up to the surface I saw a huge alligator sunbathing on land. I swam in the opposite direction, but the alligator appeared there as well. I got scared, lost my lucidity, and woke up. Anyway, I find it hard to focus and do RC's. I've never been able to do an RC whilst in a dream. I really want to have a longer lasting LD!
