Thread: Hi, I'm new and I have a few questions.

Hi, I'm 15 years old and I just heard about lucid dreaming today and I find everything involved with dreams very interesting. I searched about lucid dreaming and spent like three hours getting some information about this thing, and there are few things taht I would like to get answered:

When I was younger, I had this nightmare that I was scared more of anything (still gives me chills ) I am inside of a volcano with my parents, It's full of land, except there is one lavapool with a huge wooden face above it. One after another, everyone of my family jumps in and they get certain amount of scores, my dad always goes last band the wooden voice says that he amde the new world record. Then I turn around and see a little metallic creature standing there silently (looks like aron from pokémon) it's like literally dead silent, but suddenly it screams very loud and very high voice and I wake up. Once after that the volcano erupted and I was riding the lava flow and when I hit the air, I thought about a huge bird, it appeared and I grabbed its claw and survived. I continued thinking about stuff and I realised that I could make things apprear, but I didn't fully understand that I was in a dream, would you call this a lucid dream?

And there was one thing when I had nightmares, when I had a nightmare, I realised that I cuold wake up when I closed my eyes really hard and opened them again, I did this with alot of nightmares, it worked like 70% of nightmares, sometimes it took few tries, still I didn't fully understand that I was in a dream. Would you call this some kind of reality check or anything.

Also, when you are in a lucid dream, do you have absolutely full control of everything, I mean that does random thing appear? Like some people that you know for an example.


Wow, this became a lot longer tha nI expected thanks for reading and possibly answering!
