hi, ive come across this site today after telling my sister in law about my dreams yesterday. i typed vivid dreams into a search engine and now realise i have lucid dreams! basically i thought i was bonkers, i always have very vivid dreams but the odd part (and i generally have kept this to myself as i thought it was a bit mental!) is that most nights i actually control what is happening in the dream. i also wake up and fall asleep again and carry on with the dream, after reading on the subject though i think it might be false awakening? anyway the main thing is that now i know i'm not alone! i have always had lucid dreams for as long as i can remember, i always always remember my dreams and nightmares don't bother me in the slightest! i actually rather enjoy them sometimes, a bit like a good horror movie! i now realise they probably don't scare me because during the nightmare i must realise that i'm dreaming! WOW this feels good to talk about! i have some recurring dreams too if anyone is interested? i am very keen to know if anyone else feels knackered and as though they haven't slept after a lucid dream? sorry to waffle on lol
