      My Times with Lucid Dreaming

      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.

      Welcome back, in a way. You might like the idea of starting to keep a dream journal here on DV, since it’ll let you have something organised that you can even link to others or get comments directly on specific entries. Though I’d still keep one on paper or something like phone notes anyway.

      People seem to place a lot of emphasis on dream control with lucidity, however, just a reminder that dream control can occur in non-lucid dreams all the same. I could go on about a general and subjective value of non-lucid dreams too and I realise it just depends on the person and their different mindsets and so on, I feel.

      Either way, it’s nice that you were able to be pretty mindful of your lucidity and get a fair bit out of it, hopefully you’ll get back to it fairly easily with your past experience, good luck with it. I would say that even short or uneventful ones are worth remembering and noting down, too.

      Yeah I'm pretty interested by all my dreams, but lucid ones kind of grab my interest more often. Unfortunately the last dream journal I had, with over 100 entries, got lost along with my old tablet breaking. I only remember so much of it. Wish I backed up the data before that happened. I'll probably start another one, and write down the dreams I still remember.
