How do you have lucid dreams?

Who Lucid Dreams? How is it?

• I just thought of this, and never really discussed this with anyone. When I'm in a dream in which I know I'm awake, the first thing I try to do is wake up. But it's weird because it is really hard to do. Sometimes I'll try to move my arms but they won't move. Othertimes I scream in my head "WAKE UP!" It takes about a seemingly long 10 seconds before I'm able to move at all. I guess some people enjoy lucid dreaming- When I'm in the moment it is identical to reality. Sounds, perfect color, just SO real... nothing I would have thought since all my conscious memory of dreams are so blurry... It's shocking. Also- I remember the last time I was lucid dreaming, about a week ago, I decided to walk (yes that was a brave step for me) in my dream. I remember I could actually FEEL things. I remember saying to myself, "but you're not suppose to FEEL things in dreams?" Who else has these experiences and does anyone know information about it? I find it insanely interesting.

  They're beautiful. Once you know how to control them its like a big playground. You can do ANYTHING on command. Its such a beautiful experience. You are the artist and your dream is your canvas. Next time fly over the ocean or run faster than a cheeta. Swim in the pavement or grow to be 13 feet tall! Have fun with your lucid dreams they are rare!!!
