lucid dreams are dreams in which the dreamer is aware that he is dreaming. i t can seem real and vivid. In these dreams the dreamer can manipulate imaginary experiences in the dream environment. have you experienced a lucid dream? i have one experience where i realize that i was dreaming, i tried my best to wake up and then suddenly i woke up just when i thought i'm awake and sitting in my bed, i woke up again. that's when i realize you can control your dream if you know your dreaming just like this dream of mine when i realize i'm dreaming i think of waking up, and it created a dream of me waking up. it is really amazing!! have you experienced a lucid dream?

Yes I have =) they are my favorite kind of dream in fact. Once I did something wrong by accident (In my dream) and thought. "No that's not right I think I'll try that again..." The funny thing is... it let me redo it. Don't worry, I succeeded that time. Another time I was 'waking up'and warned my dream characters...but as it turned out I wasn't really waking up I just thought I was. Then I had to go through the trouble of looking all over the place just to find them again (There were a lot of places to look), then I really woke up. All in all I've had wonderful experiences while lucid dreaming. ^.^ Sweet dreams!

Yes, I have had lucid dreams. Tons of them. In my experience, lucid dreams are neither controllable nor vivid by default. My most vivid dreams have been lucid dreams, but not all my lucid dreams have been vivid. You get me? And for me, I can control very little or nothing at all when I lucid dream. I've also had lots of "false awakenings" like the ones you describe. I remember one night in particular that I was lucid almost the entire night. I realized that I was dreaming (and I thought I was on the brink of waking) during a dream and I woke up in bed. I went to the bathroom, and saw that the toilet needed cleaning... so I started cleaning the toilet. And it seemed the more I scrubbed, the worse it got, until finally I realized that I was still dreaming and I ran away and wound up in a subway tunnel. I went around asking dream characters what they represented (at the time I still believed dreams and dream elements reflected elements of the subconscious... now I just think that's hogwash) and I did flips and flew and all that crazy jazz. It was a fun night.

Hey! Yes I experienced it a lot especially when something caught my interest it always makes me dream of it or having a dream of what if? Most of my lucid dreams happened everytime I see my crush way back in college, just don't ask me what is it lol.
