Lucid dreams

I am a dreamer. I dream, probably every night. I remember around 40% of the time, what I dreamed of, but with the first minutes of waking up, if I don't think of it, I forget it. Specially if the dreams are not so interesting and specific.

For example, I decided to write about dreams today, and I remembered I had an interesting weird situation dream last night, but then, a few hours after waking up, I couldn't remember what the dream was about.

Some dreams I remember for years, because they were so scary or vivid, and affected me at the time a lot.

I had a period of time in my life, when I had nightmares almost every night. It was always different, but always with the same goal. My mom even got worried because of that, but at some point it stopped. This was the first and only time (that I remember) I had I would say semi - lucid dream.

For those who don't know, a lucid dream is the dream where you are aware that you are dreaming, and you can control things some or all things that are happening in your dream.

I knew about this a long time ago, and since I dream a lot I always hoped I would have a dream like that, specially if I dream of something interesting. Lucid dreams can happen on its own, spontaneous, or it can be deliberately incited.

At time that I had nightmares, after some time, I had lucid dream. I think at that point, my brain was aware that this dreams of mine are pattern, and that's why I was able to realize it.

In the dream, my friend and I were in a scary situation, and my friend started to worry a lot, and I felt bad because of it, grab her hand and said "It's okay, this is only my dream". However, other than feeling less fear, and comforting my friend, I didn't have much control of the dream, but I woke up not long after that.

Also, soon after this, my nightmares stopped.

Dreams in general are very interesting to me, an interesting subject, even though a lot of times I hate that I dream so much, because I wake up a lot, and also sometimes I don't feel like I slept good because of the wild and vivid dreams. But also I have amazing dreams, like when I fly or just have some powers that are not real.

I have more stories about my dreams, and also I would like to write about interesting facts about dreams, I feel like not many people know about this.

I probably wouldn't know it as well if I hadn't had psychology in high school, and also crazy dreams on my own, so I looked up it more.

Did you ever have a lucid dream? Do you dream often?
