Long time lucid dreamer without knowing it

Hey, I just randomly found this forum. I'm pretty sure I've been lucid dreaming for quite a while. I never really thought about it. Obviously I've thought it was cool, just never knew the extent of what you could do with it. I'm excited to see if I can improve them now that I know what it is.

What I'd like to know more about:
I feel like my lucid dream consciousness is really well, stupid. I know I'm dreaming, that's definitely not an issue. It's like my whole consciousness is not there. When I dream I choose to do things that I think are really cool, but when I wake up and remember I wonder why I chose to do that. It's not always that way, but I never feel completely conscious...

Now that I know what I'm doing, I'll try to think about it more and remember more. I'm excited to look around the forums more and share my stories!

It's cool when you've been doing it a long time and then finally realize what can be attained with it. I'm sure that happens to a lot of forum-goers here, but it's always good to have another!
