Every night, if I can remember them which I normally do, I have long and detailed dreams. Often they are very strange, but normally very pleasant and vivid (although all hell breaks loose if I have a nightmare.)Many people that know me closely have told me I should try lucid dreaming.Sometimes I'll have a bit in a dream where I think, "I've dreamed about this before, I won't do this again. Let me do this" but otherwise I am unaware that I am dreaming.For me, dreaming is an escape from a rather boring world. If you're aware that you're dreaming, does that take away from the fun of it, if there is any for you?Opinions and stories! I'd like to hear them. Should I go for it?
I've only lucid dreamed once and when I was aware that I was dreaming, I had imagined some things and immediately woke up. So yes, I guess it takes away the fun.Oh wait no, another time I had lucid dreamed, I tried waking myself up by killing myself with a car crash or jumping off buildings but I never woke up. The dream was eerie and all in black/white.I think you should try lucid dreaming at least once! Go for it! :)Just make sure to not look into mirrors because your face might appear disfigured.

I'm kind of a similar dreamer. I never become kind of truly lucid in that I gain all my waking mental faculties, but I kind of am in this sort of dualistic state of mind where I am this character in a dream, and where I also am simultaneously watching the dream, making mental notes on what to write down when I wake up, avoiding things that might wake me up like falling from heights.
