Welcome to DV! We're always glad to have new, enthusiastic members.

I came across DV kind of like you (looking up "consious dreaming" or "dream control" or something on google). Take a look at the tutorial section of the forum. It has all sorts of good information that you'll be able to use. If you have not started one yet, start a dream journal! You can start a DJ thread in the Dream Journal section, or you can start one on your own at home.

And movie dreams are common. A little while ago I started doing reality checks whenever I saw a movie, but I stopped for some reason...

Again, welcome! Glad to have you as part of the community. Don't hesitate to post any questions that you may have. We're more than willing to answer them.
