For me it's not the easiest thing to achieve... I have many things that I have to work on to get better (writing detailed DJ entries, recognize Dream Signs more often - I miss them in most of my dreams... )
I have very strange dreams at times and I accept all of their oddities... (...in most of my lucids I'm passive)
Congrats to naturals... I wish I was one of them (I'm a bit jealous sometimes when read stories about detailed LDs )
Current LD goal(s): Perform a swan dive (Leap of Faith), fly with a glider (http://bit.ly/Sr55eU)

I used to have nightmares as a kid, but once I stopped having nightmares at about age 7, I got LDs almost every night.
I still get LDs almost every night without an induction or technique. Sometimes when I get busy or stressed, though, I have normal dreams instead of LDs.

I've always been able to lucid dream. I think the reason I'm a natural is because every time I'm in a new setting or get frustrated I always ask myself if it's logical. This habit continued into my dreams
Current LD goal(s): Acheive better dream control, Share a dream with my friend,

I had some LD's as a little child in which I could wake myself up from nightmares and also changing the dream at the beginning when I saw that it would turn out into one of these nightmares (I had 3 or 4 different nightmares which were always the same and always kept repeating themselves). When I went to primary school, most of the nightmares stopped somehow and I had a couple of LD's where I learned to fly with wings. It seems like I lost my LD's somewhere between primary and high school though...So I'm not really a natural and when I want a LD now, I also have to use techniques, but I'm very happy with what I get
Current LD goal(s): visit a "ghost town"

Hello everyone,
I just stumbled across this website and found it interesting as I have had lucid dreams and din't know what to make of them. Do you a define lucid dreams as knowing that you are dreaming while in the dream or do you hav ea broader definition?

Well I remember the first time I had a lucid dream that I can remember. I was walking through the mosque with my dad, and suddenly, I realized I was dreaming. "HEY DAD! I'M DREAMING! "
Current LD goal(s): laying on the clouds and gazing at the sky -sigh-

as a child i remember having spooky nightmares and because i was so afraid to go to sleep, my mother had me repeat "It's only a dream" over and over and over.
and i found myself still repeating this in my dreams. and could overcome my nightmares.
then a bunch o years passed without me giving much thought to any sort of Dream control and it seems the ability has escaped me.
im going to try my old "mantra" if you will and see if it still has the same effect.

I didn't know I was dreaming, but when I had nightmares,
I knew nothing could happen to me,and I turned them into good dreams.
Does that count?
Current LD goal(s): Have a longer LD

technically not, but it is still impressive in my opinion.

I thought everyone was an ld. Since I can remember I couldn't go to sleep unless I had something to dream about. I can do almost anything in my dreams. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm awake or asleep. One time my mother called me and I could swear I woke up and went to her. Minutes later something weird happened and I realised I was still asleep. So I woke up and just to make sure I was up this time I went outside and put my hand out so the sun would shine on it. I knew I was awake this time because I felt the sun on my hand. Only thing is I was still dreaming. So now I know that if I'm not sure then I'm asleep.

I used to have lucid dreams very often... I was like 5-7 and I think I kinda WILDed (I think) although its hard to remember. I thought I was sleeping normally but I would always feel like I was swaying and there would be bursts of color everywhere (HI i guess) and I'd go into one to my dream (I thought they were like doors) and I was scared cause I couldnt control them I thought if I went into a dark color it would be a nightmare and a light color a good dream and when I tried to change any part of my dream it would flicker like a broken tape and replay that second I tried changing over and over again until I gave up. I learned about LD a few months ago and now I think that is what I did but I havent had another yet but I havent really been trying.
Current LD goal(s): Meet my dream guide, transform, and oh wait yeah... HAVE A LUCID DREAM!!! :D

I've had lucid dreams ever since I can remember... My most common LD has always been flying, and when I was little i remember at times it was very difficult for me to distinguish the difference between waking reality and my dream world. My mom thought I was probably cuckoo cause I remember trying to convince her that I really could fly. I was a big sleepwalker as a kid too, and she had to lock all the deadbolts on the door because I'd be so deep in a LD that I'd walk out of the house and down the street. Scared the shit out of her. Once I was locked inside I would end up in really odd places around the house, lol.
I remember some of my recurring LD's when I was very little as well, along with my first OBE's which I achieved during traumatic times.
I've always been very affected by my dream world.
I've always been mind boggled by some friends who say they 'don't dream' or 'rarely dream or remember them'. I don't know what it's like not to LD. I never knew people didn't dream like this regularly until a psychologist told me when i was a kid, lol.
Current LD goal(s): Understand more symbols & precognition
