Well, folks, this is my first post here, and I'm glad I'm not alone in this kind of experience.

I just wanna report that after a lot of time without lucid dreams, I had one yesterday. When I was a little child (I'm 16 now), almost ALL of my dreams were lucid. It was a very exciting period of my life, but after getting to High School, I rarely have them.

I was in this place that seemed like a skyscraper floor, but I didn't know the path. It's was kinda like a maze. I needed to pass through doors that would close right after I passed them, so I had to choose quickly and wisely. In this part of the dream, I wasn't lucid yet. The thing is that one of my DCs said that it was a dream. At this time, I was totally IN the illusion. But, after my projection said this, I noticed it was a dream. The problem is that (I don't know if it was because of my long period without this dreams), the dream got instable right after I noticed it was a dream. I kinda felt that if I tried to change anything, it would collapse. It wasn't like I was awakening...I just felt that I would lose control. For a moment (a few seconds), I forgot it was a dream, but I got conscious again. After that, I lost myself in other dreams (in which I didn't noticed they were dreams). Well, that's it. I'm pretty excited with the fact that I didn't lose the "ability" to have lucid dreams.

Well, that's how it happened. Nothing close to what my lucid dreams used to be, but enough to make me get excited about it.

PS: Just a question. When I was a little child, I didn't need to stabilize anything, but now it was almost impossible to keep myself lucid. Is that fruit of stress and tiredness?
