Thread: are you always lucid?

I've been LDing since I was 10, so like for 16 years. I guess I'm one of the people mentioned above. Of course I'm not always lucid. But it is not something I try anymore. It just happens. I don't do anything special. One can say I'm a natural, but if you are doing it for 16 years, eventually you get used to it and it happens naturally.


I believe dream control increases when you become lucid more and more. Well as a child I had many nightmares. One day, having a nightmare, I suddenly knew I was dreaming, but I did nothing to control it. I was still afraid. So I thought if I die in a dream, I can wake up. Then I began jumping from higher grounds, I was waking up as soon as I hit the ground. So first, LD was like a dream exit for me. By the way at that time I thought everyone can do that. One day I watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, and later 3 "Dream Warriors". Then it hit me. I began experimenting with control. Since I was a huge Superman fan, first I tried flying. First, I could only fly when I jumped from a higher ground. Well for many years I couldn't fly any other way. I have no idea why. Then I learned how to fly properly.


So in years I developed many dream controls, and lots of different stuff. Right now the easiest controls for me are flying, superpower and telekinesis. I can change the weather, make something happen instantly which is the sickest thing if your imagination takes control. Now my goal is only WILD which always happened in OBE form. I used to think that I was in a dream world when I WILD, but now I'm pretty sure those are different astral planes.


I can easily say it is all about self suggestion and thinking it constantly. The more you LD the more it happens, the more control you got. Sorry for the long post.
