From late 2017 to early 2019, I was a lucid dreamer. Around that time period you can probably find some posts on here from me. I quit because the reality checks and stuff got in the way of school. I'll probably continue when I have more free time. So I thought I'd write about my highlights of the 50-or-so lucid dreams I had in that time. This is going to be pretty long so please stick around.

It all started when I was about 7. I had a spontaneous lucid dream of me on this path lined with vine-covered arches and wardrobes. My mom's friend was standing in front of me, and it hit me. Something I've never experienced before. I realized it was a dream. So, being an innocent 7 year old, I did what I never dared do before. I swore in front of my mom's friend. She locked me in a wardrobe. End dream.
Skip forward several years, I remember that dream and start wondering about it. So I googled something along the lines of "dream where you know you're in a dream" and I immediately got hooked. The concept of it was already mind-blowing, but what really got me was dream control. The ability to do whatever you can dream of, literally. I spent that whole day researching lucid dreaming, enough so that alone gave me a short one that night. I was in a grey void, and I looked down at my hands. They looked polygonal, like a video game. I then woke up. It only lasted a couple seconds, but it captivated me so much that I spent the next year lucid dreaming, with mixed success. Out of the 50 that I had, only about 20 were at all eventful, but don't let that discourage you. Some of these lucid dreams I will never forget. They help define who I am to this day. Flying (that took a few tries), various other superpower hyjinks, and other unique and surreal experiences exploring the dream world. I'll write more about my dreams in the future, especially the lucid ones. I can't wait to continue.
