Lucid experiences of my own...

I saw this website and was immediately interested. Lucid dreaming has always fascinated me ever since I figured out exactly what it was.

I've been lucid dreaming since I was about sixteen. It was really strange. I don't remember my dreams every night, but whenever I have a dream, I can control it without many issues at all. Whenever I have a dream at all, I know I'm dreaming. Sometimes I don't have complete and total control (I have control of myself, not my surroundings) but pretty much all my dreams are lucid, and have been since I was sixteen.

I've had a lot of experiences. Sometimes I sit in my dream, in a dark room so to speak, and think a lot. I'm already big on meditation, so I figure if I don't have time to think while I'm awake, I'll do it while I'm 'asleep' if I'm lucky enough to dream that night.

It's been fun every time I could do it, and actually I've had some fun experiences. Sometimes I go through weeks where I have dreams every night (as opposed to normality, where I get a dream or two every week at most) so every night as I go through my dreams I put myself in my favourite movie, or something like that. Like... I might put myself in the midst of a battle from Lord of the Rings or something, however it will last many nights, each night picking up where I left off.

I just have to say, dreaming is incredibly fun when I actually get to exercise my full control over it. It took getting used to definitely, but now that I've got the hang of it, I know my imagination really is the limit. Sometimes when I'm having a really great time, it sucks waking up.

Yes, gotta love fully controllable lucid dreams. :)

But, even though you don't remember it, you have several dreams a night. If you sleep for about 8 hours, you will go through 4-5 REM cycles, which means that you will have at least 4-5 dreams every night. For you, those dreams that you forget might be lucid dreams, as well. Take a look in the Tutorials section if you want to improve your dream recall. There are some good guides in there for that. :)

Yeah, I was going to check out some of the tutorials and look for a few books. It's interesting to things that dreams I don't remember are lucid, because most of the time when I have a lucid dream I remember it perfectly, because it was like I was awake at the time, and remembering it like I would a normal day event.

Well, I know I forget lucid dreams. It's very much possible. Also, if you improve your dream recall, you might also have lucid dreams more often. :D
