I have a question on Lucid Dreams… I have had terrible night terrors since I was little. Anyway, I learned early on in my life how to remove myself from what was happening to me and I can watch it as if I am watching a TV Show. I have also normally been able to change some of the items in my dreams. I can even talk to myself in my dreams. However, I never knew I was having Lucid Dreams nor knew what the term was. Anyway, do you agree that this is Lucid Dreaming? I have never tried to alter any of my dreams that were not nightmares. I do know that I do dream and I actually plan on trying to control my dream tonight. I do have several dreams that I would like to have… 
Recognizing that you are dreaming is the hardest part (becoming lucid). If you can already do this, then you are in for some fun times. To control your dream instead of removing yourself from it, it may be helpful to think throughout the day of what you want to do when you are dreaming (sometimes memory doesn’t function as well in dreams). If you are able to become lucid and not do anything relatively often, you should have no trouble having the dreams you want to.
