Yer, but very very rarely, and only when I'm really really stressed, and have no time to sleep, and feels guilty for sleeping, but is sleeping anyway just from not having slept for 72 hours+.

I haven't walked on water, but I have changed nightmares into quite good dreams.

My dreams are always so surreal, so inhuman and so displaced from the normal viewpoint that i i think if i ever for Lucidity i would just freak out. The page says to look for watches and fingers. My dreams don't have watches and fingers, they are poorly shaped and driven by ideas, not images. They are off-track, off beat. Sometimes it's just a sea of color that i drift through, or pure noise. I never notice that this is unusual or wrong, and if i do i wake up.

Lucid dreaming sounds overrated, that's what imagination is for.
Exactly the same. I find myself being barraged by such absurdest and surrealist .. only appropriate word I can think of is "stuff", and yet my dream-state self doesn't recognise the infidelities; I "roll with the punches" as it were in my dreams.

When I wake up I often think WTF? Then realise how awesome my imagination must be to conjure up these bizarre scenarios which I would never experience in real life.

I would certainly love to, but I fear I would start rejecting life in favor of dreams and then probably cause my own self destruction... but still, I'll probably try the tips on Wikipedia and see how it goes anyway.

I have amazing control over my dreams and I remember them vividly. Recently I actually managed to return to a dream I was woken from, I thought that was impossible.

I often have superpowers or godlike abilities, though I may not use them, I have actually destroyed things that made a bad dream. Only once have my powers failed me, when an enemy tried to trap me in a pirate themed sexverse. I had way to much fun swashbuckling.

A couple of times. One time I flew!
In those dreams though, I always thought of really stupid crap to do so maybe I was just dreaming I was in control of the dream.

It's pretty kick ass when you can do it whenever you want. I had nightmares about this murderer who would stab me repeatedly but then I discovered how to control my dreams and last night when he came to stab me I just pulled out my auto-shotgun and blew his face off and then yelled "YEAH!!! YOU WANTED SOME OF MY BULLETS IN YOUR FACE DIDN'T YOU???" and then I flew to Hawaii.

I've only experienced it to a very minor degree, realising that I'm in a usualy pretty horrible dream then just saying "NO" and waking up but that's it, I would love to do it properly, I've been listening to binural beats and Iso-chronic tones that are meant to encourage that sort of thing but no luck so far!

I have had a few in the past, but with my current(pretty messed up) sleep pattern I don't remember most of my dreams, let alone being aware of when I am dreaming. Although the few lucid dreams I had were pretty awsome.

I often get lucid dreams, usually after a gaming binge with my friends where we dont sleep or shut down the console of 2-3 days straight.
Generally i haven't really had much control over what i was doing. I've known i was in a dream, and as soon as i realised, everything seems to become less stable.
In one dream i ran through a wall like it was made from running water.
Lucid dreaming is a really bizarre experience, and when i wake up i usually have to spend a fair amount of time working out what the fuck had just happened.

Once I realize I dont feel anything, thats when it kicks in. I've also noticed my mind dodges things I dont know. Say for example, I was going to watch a movie I've never seen. In the dream, the T.V. will explode or fuzz, preventing me from seeing the move.

Also, I used to have a dream where a killer dressed as my mother to get to me. I would be in one room with my sister, then go into the room with my "mom" and get killed. After the third time, In my dream I wouldn't go into the room, but then my sis ran in there so I ran after and got killed.:(

I don't get lucid dreams very much though i think i have done it before. I think i once intentionaly drowned my self to get out of a dream where i was stuck in some water.

Most of the time my dreams are some sort of adventure in worlds that i sort of recognise as places i know, but are normaly distorted in someway like something is different than i would be in real life.

Had them from time to time, I seem to dream rather a lot but not really remember them after a while and I feel like I've had far more lucid dreams than I can remember.

One trick though, no idea if it helps or not and it is a constant annoyance to me is that I imagine a watch on a chain attached to a centre point of a circle. It doesn't have to be a watch, it just has to be something, anything usually appears to me as round though, attached somehow either by a solid line or a fluid line like a piece of string. In my head usually as I'm trying to get to sleep or as a dream I see this thing spinning around in one direction, over and over and over. I then try to stop it, which I find very difficult and usually end up gesticulating wildly or opening my eyes. But on the rare occasions where I can get it to slowly decrease in speed and go back the other way usually ends up with me either actually in a lucid dream as that's happening or I will usually have one that night. When I get it right it's so goddamn soothing seeing this thing slowly spin one way, then the other and back again.

Very bizarre and more often an annoyance than not but hey, I quite like doing it sometimes.
Also the background seems to be brick if that makes any difference whatsoever.

I had one. It wasn't very special. I just knew that I was dreaming this. So I went "Bloody hell, this is my dream, so I'll have some fun in it." The following pictures were censored because of public interest.

Far more common is what I call "Sleep-beating". Now, I believe you don't need to know what it is exactly to imagine.

I don't think I've ever been aware when I'm dreaming. I just let my imagination take me wherever it wants... which is usually a very scary place.

Nearly all my dreams are lucid - the few times they're not is when I extremely tired and run down.

Then they tend to be nightmares - so I'm quite glad the majority of the time there lucid
