Hey people of this forum (or whatever I should call you ). I've had a few lucid dreams over the last couple years, and I didn't start learning about them until about a week ago. Sadly I usually only become lucid during a nightmare. When that happens and I become lucid, I will instantly freeze time around whatever the threat is (like if a zombie was after me I would freeze time around it). I do like it though because it is an automatic reaction I have in most of my nightmares.

I'm going to try to use the tutorials here to try becoming lucid with out having to be in a nightmare first.

Some questions I have:

1. What are dream guides?
2. Why are my lucids usually triggered by nightmares?
3. What are your favorite dream control abilities?
