Well, I can lucidly dream. However, I am not good at it. I need some tips and pointers for a beginner. And soon would be nice. It's 10:48 P.M. right now, and I've picked up a few LD tips and I will try them, but more would be nice. Anyways...

The one thing I notice when I am dreaming, is that if it's a bad dream, either nightmare or just plain boring, I am immediately aware of it. And if I don't like the setting, what is happening, or if it is just too scary for my tastes, I close my eyes as hard as I can (in-dream), then open them as fast as I can, to be greeted by my black room. I'm awake again, and it's peaceful...

But, that's not it. I remember when I was young... probably 8 or 9 years ago, I was dreaming about being on a dinosaur expedition. I remember seeing real dinosaurs and everything... Although, when I was woken up, I was rather disappointed. So, I went back to sleep. Amazingly, my dream continued right where it left off! I had woken up again, and decided to go back to sleep, to be back at where my dream had once again left off. This happened four or five times that morning before I actually got up. My question is... If I managed to do this then, is it entirely possible to do it always? For example, if I were dreaming about robbing a bank, we robbed the bank, and got outside to be greeted by 100 cops with guns blazing, I would naturally wake myself up. However, I would wake up and wish that I'd continued it, to see how it would play out. So, going back to sleep and starting the dream from where I woke up would be a nice benefit.

Edit: This is entirely off topic, but maybe someone has the answer =P Sometimes after I smoke some marijuana, I just sit back, close my eyes, and relax. At that moment, my stomach feels like it is soaring. Ever go over a bridge in a car, and it feels like your stomach is suspended in mid-air for a few seconds? Well, imagine that, except it lasts until you open your eyes again. Is this in any way related to dreaming? And if not, anyone have an explanation anyways?
