Hi, I'm fifteen and i just got into this, its really interesting and a lot of benefits can be had. First off I have a question. At least 80% of my dreams are games. But not like checkers or chess. That would be fun though.

Most of my dreams start normal, as a dream can go but then reset.
When the reset, something changes. But it is NEVER for the better. ITs kinda like the Matrix scene in the brick building with deja vu
Sometimes when they change, I recognize this and decide to continue instead of waking myself up. I usually choose to continue out of curiosity. That's the only glimpse of regular lucidity i get. I get two options:
A) wake up
B) what is around the corner?....

Here's an example: All in first person *NOTE* I own four birds

in the morning I was walking with my mother and sister to a specific house in a near-by cul-de-sac. Walked up her driveway, into her house to her backyard. There we saw the old woman who lived there. My mother explained that we were just going into her backyard to see a specific finch, which my mother had previously named. Of course she agreed, because what's wrong with strangers entering your house? Anyway we walked outside and found the brown little finch. He began singing to us. Then the dream RESET

Once again we were walking up the driveway when I heard my cockatiel screaming, i turned around. Only he wasn't screaming my name, he wasn't screaming for food or attention. He was screaming his scared call. I thought: "That's weird, why would my cockatiel be outside? Why would he be scared?" then the idea hit me, and I realized the dream had reset. I turned around again towards the driveway, which apparently locked my mind back into the dream. Then the settings changes became apparant It was near dusk, and cloudy as opposed to the sunny morning. And of course an abnormally huge bear was in the middle of the driveway. and it was aggressive. very aggressive. It charged me and I turned around to run after conciously admiring the change.

The rest of the dream was me running away, but the small lucidity was gone. it played like a movie.

My question is: is this normal, what does it mean, and of course how can i take advantage of these ever so common mere glimpses of lucidity.

thanks.
