Hello, my name is Audrey. I just joined this site today. I just started lucid dreaming out of nowhere since last night, and I am pretty freaked out about it. I did not purposely try to lucid dream or try in any way. It just happened. I am 19 years old, going on 20. I have never lucid dreamed before in my life. I had a bad nightmare and woke up at about 5 am. I then went back to bed after being up for a bit, and that was where my body was connected to my dreams, and I could control what I was doing by moving my hands which would then occur the same in my dream, as well as I was fully aware that I was dreaming. It's like I am half awake and half asleep. Then the second time at around 7 am I went back to sleep and it happened. I ended up flying above a lake by my own control, and evaded what would be a nightmare. This is something new to me and I just don't know what to think about it. Please help, I'm scared and I need information or encouragement.
