Hi, im very curious and interested in lucid dreaming and would like to extend my knowledge and ability in the subject. I think i have had a lucid dream before where i realised i was dreaming within a dream but very breifly and maybe twice or thrice in my whole life.
I like the idea that i am able to improve and potentially control the path of my dream where before i stumbled across this site i thought it was a thing of chance.

Lately i have been taking naps during the day because of sleep deprivation from nights before. I keep feeling like im inbetween sleep and awake some strange middle ground or a very light sleep state. it feels like my eyes are slightly open because i can make out shapes from my room but also can see strange lucid movements within the room figures hovering over me very realistically also spiders and people pulling out guns and holding them to my face which was quite interesting. Im wondering if this is lucid dreaming and if anyone else experienced anything similar.

Cheers
