Thanks for the warm welcome I have since recalled that over the years, I've had a few lucid dreams. Once when I was a young girl I dreamed that I was being chased by some 'bad men' who wanted to kidnap me. I stopped in the middle of the road (black asphalt) and I recall it was very early morning and still quite dark, and I realized I was in a dream. But that realization did nothing for me, I still have to keep running LOL.

I told my sister about it and she said "Oh, whenever I'm having a bad dream, I just pinch myself and I wake up!" So the next time I was aware of being in a dream, I stopped running, my dream self pinched herself/myself but it did no good, I did not wake up and once again I had to get back to running.

I think I've had a couple in the decades since then, but I don't have any specific memories.
