Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the boards and I dream fantastically! My first lucid dream was when I was very young. Maybe around 7 or 8 years old. I would have terrible nightmares and my mom explained to me that all I would have to do is say 'Stop!' in my dream and the nightmare would disappear. Of course, at first I couldn't do it. Then I could but I would wake up right away. And eventually I would be able to become lucid, stay in my dream, and change the nightmare to something more pleasant.
I eventually stopped having the nightmares and kinda stopped caring about making my dreams lucid. Now that I'm older, I realize how amazing lucid dreams are and how lucky I am to attain them relatively easily. I do still get lucid randomly (last lucid dream a week or two ago), and I remember my dreams if they aren't lucid about 95% of the time, but I want more! That's why I joined this forum. I can control some elements, but I want more control. And I'd eventually like to share dreams.
Also, I'd like to save my non-lucid dreaming friends the annoyance of me constantly talking about my dreams and get it all out somewhere where people understand.
Whew. Ok. Long Introduction. Anyway, Hello!!
