I have lucid dreams quite often and even if I don't they are still usually vivid. I've found them to be very helpful and amusing. Sometimes they help me discover new things about troubles I might be having. Sometimes they are just a fun adventure. I rarely have nightmares the same way other people do, because I can be so active in the workings of my dreams. (I had one nightmare where I literally jumped into a different dream and when I was chased kept escaping into new dreams until I could wake up. Rather than being scary it was exhilarating.) My nightmares are when I dream about my worries and can't find a solution.

Lusid by Ohgr comes to mind

yes...i do this often, & this is with the aid of a sleeping pill!
I sometimes find myself pinching or hitting myself (in the dream) to wake up.
Now, only if these dreams involved johnny depp....Hmm.

;-)

soudns like my life this year if you replace dream with nightmare.

I have done this before and it is really cool. I wish I could do it more often. It happens to me once in a long while. I love the romantic/sexual lucid dreams...lol;)..you know the ones with Johnny Depp or that cute coworker. It is like the hollo-deck(or however you spell it) on Star Trek the next Generation. You can steer the dream in the direction you want it to go if you know what I mean..hee hee. I would like more practice, but I can't control when it happens to me! I hope you have one soon.

I would love to have a halodeck :)

I never remember my dreams, so I can;t really say. Have you guys ever seen the movie Waking Life? It deals with lucid dreams and is very interesting!

no I've not seen that... its 5am so think I'm gonna go back to sleep... zzzzz

I once had a lucid dream that I was a huge bird( I had the sensation that I was an Eagle). I was flying above the lake I grew up on. I've never had an ariel view of the area before, but I could pick out people's houses, "there's the Bachmans, the Millers, Dr Burnam, the Perkins ect. ect. as I flew around from pretty high above. Then with total control, I swooped down towords the water fast and glided back up again just flying on the thermals.

I did this a couple of times, then realizing that I was dreaming I said, "DON"T WAKE UP!!!".

That's right, I woke right up. I tried and tried to go back to sleep and do it some more. But no luck,

It was awsome!

Yep, i remember one lucid dream i had where i was in a lift and i just wanted to get out when it turned into black curtains and i was trying to get out but i couldnt. Tryed so damn hard to wake myself up cos i knew i was dreaming. It was horrible and i will never forget it.
