I have been lucid dreaming since i was about 9 years old and didnt even know that i was. I did know that it was an ability because i was more aware of all my dreams and around my bed. What else i found fun was lucid dreaming and then falling off a building or an aeroplane or crashing into a wall inside a car or off a motorbike... (basically suicidal thoughts ) I know this is sure to be lucid because when i wake up right after killing myself i remember every single moment and smile about it. I actually got into the habit because i was actually trying to find a way to dream all the things that i wanted to, and it worked. Its being able to lucid dream, i could choose to do it tonight or to sleep normal tonight if i've had a tiring day.

You have to let everything go, all doubts, fear, anger, everything. You can think of something that motivates you in life. Its kind of tricky if you ask me especially if anyone is new to it. Im not sure if its possible through meditated ways but maybe it is since it gives you 'mind control'
