Well, hi
I found this site either thought stumbleupon firefox extension or digg.com and just bookmarked it
Finally got a chance to browse it, and i was really intrigued by the idea. I am about half way though reading the stuff on the main page, and it's seems very interesting

I've been having lucid dreams all my life. My first one that i remember, i was probably 5, maybe 7 years old. I clearly remember realizing that i was in a dream, and my sister was walking away from me. I called her back, and when she turned around, i proceeded to try an convince her that this was all a dream. I don't think she cared.

Pretty much as long as i can remember, i ofter grow aware of the fact that i am dreaming. I never realized that i could actually take control of the dream, especially to the extent of what's talked about here. Most of the time i will just realize that it's a dream, and wake up. Can't stand it when the happens with those Rated R dreams

My last one took place just a few days ago, and i was actually able to change something. I was running away from something or someone and then came to a realization that i was dreaming. Then it occurred to me that since all of this is just in my mind, i should be able to do whatever i want. So i told myself to run faster, and i did. About 3-4 times faster then i ever could i real life. And then i easily leaped over something that was probably like 4 feet high and continued running. I got caught up in the excitement, realized that i am breaking some laws, and tripped over the next obstacle that i tried to jump over.
Does that qualify as a lucid dream?

Another interesting thing is that that dream happens to be the first one i ever wrote down. It had some other really weird parts, so i retold it to my girlfriend over e-mail. Might make it a first entry in my dream journal.

So, I'll end this with a question. I always end up waking up as soon as i become aware that i am in a dream. Is that something that i can overcome? I would like to actually be able to have long lucid dreams, not just a 1 minute blurb.

Thank you
