I have been having lucid dreams since I was little. I usually recognize when im in a dream every night. But I have also been experiencing something else shortly after I started having lucid dreams. I am able to induce a lucid dream while still awake. My eyes are open and its like day dreaming, except I have complete control of everything and its just as vivid as a lucid dream. Its easiest to do when its quiet. I'm not sure if there is another name for this or what. Has anyone else experienced this?

I like to go back to place I have been to before. they are the easiest to go to but every once in a while I'll invent a place and try to be creative. I'm just not sure how many other people experience this.
