Hi everyone,

I just recently found this site when I was researching sleep paralysis...I have it quite often.The first time it happend, I thought I was paralyzed and that no one was going to find me until the morning. I could hear people in the hallway, but couldn't move or even control my breath. Now, I kind of like it...

Anywho, I've been having lucid dreams all my life...but unfortuanly, I it only happens in nightmares or in sexual dreams. It's like I can feel my heart racing, and then all of a sudden (in nightmares), I'm so frightend, I know it can't be real. It started that I would realize it was just a dream and wake myself up, but since then, I've been able to change little things and walk away from whatever is scaring me. Once I even changed the whole location and had a normal dream after that (non-lucid). In sexual dreams, it happens near the end, as I realize that I don't usually even know whoever I'm with, and I kinda freak out. I guess my dream sign is fear....

For the last 2 weeks, I've been trying to get lucid with no luck. I remember my dreams almost every night, and can't figure out why when I'm in the dreams, I don't realize it. My dreams are always crazy and pretty unrealistic, but I think while I'm dreaming I just justify everything.

Well, I hope to get to know you all, and hopefuly will have some lucid dreams to share. I'm going to keep trying...this all sounds like the coolest and craziest stuff ever.
