Lucid dreaming is something I only just recently found it about, but it sounds awesome! For those who don't know, essentially it is a dream where you realize it's a dream. Your conscious mind wakes up but your still asleep at the same time so you're able to control your dream and do whatever you like in it. I thought it was a bit weird at first but it turns out it's a lot more widespread than I first thought. I'm pretty interested in learning more about, so has anyone had any experiences with it or know much about it?

I got vivid dreams that I usually remember when I wake up. I have also bad dreams that so vivid that it felt like real. It started when I was young, and I usually wake up catching my breath, and even crying. Growing up, I've learned to control my dreams, I could make myself fly or change the scenario to get out of the bad situation, or even wake up just to get out of the bad dream.

Good to hear you got your dreams sorted and under control : ) Would you have any tips to give about learning how to do this? I've managed only one dream where I was properly in control and it didn't last very long...

I can lucid dream by just before i'm about to fall asleep keep saying in your head that your going to have a lucid dream and remember it. Many people have lucid dreams but simply down remember them when waking. A good way to learn is youtube.

I only experienced that about 4 or 5 times in my life. Some i can remember and were pretty cool. One i can remember the most i was young around 8 or 9 and all i did was realize i was dreaming knew i could do what i want and went to get doughnuts and kiss a girl i liked.... I remember a few more and a friend of mine i told these dreams too explained what they were. She gave me a book about dreams and it just explained everything that goes on in the unconscious mind. But i always thought dreams hold more than what people see. You should try to find some books about them
