Hey people
I am new here
My host brother (user Out of the Blue) have been telling me for the last couple days about lucid dreaming. He has been doing some excercises and stuff, so I am constantly exposed to him telling us about his experiences.

Last night I was starting to sleep and I had a weird dream.
In the dream I was checking my Orkut (Some sort of MySpace from Google) and while I was reading my scraps, I first saw some kind of comics (like those from the newspaper), and I saw some girl's comments about weird stuff (something involving Canada)...I then realized that it might have been a dream, and knew I could control it. After that everything got blurried, as some sort of fog was surrounding me. I remembered my host brother told me that I could think about anything and it would materialize there, so I thought of a place, my high school. I felt excited about being able to control my dreams. Next thing I felt was that I was having goosebumps and that my skin was feeling like tighter. I thought that was happening because I was messing up my brain by trying to control the dream or something, and I ended up waking up.
I was shaky and with goosebumps...I just fell asleep again after that and didn't have any more dreams I could remember of.

Any tips/suggestion to make places/objects appear without getting too excited or freaked out?
Any opinions about the dream?

Thanks,

Thiago Branco
