I was wondering... I've been at this whole LD thing for about 1 year and i've only had about 2 where I had a substantial amount of control. I have had other sporadic LD's with no control whatsoever and the memories typically fade. My question is, Is it possible to be truly conscious, almost awake in a way, inside your dream? I realize this is how it comes across but I don't see how that's possible. Someone with the experience please tell me. If i keep this up, will it eventually become as if I am actually LIVING what i'm doing in the dream, WITH full control? And if so how long does it usually take to master this?
