I've been trying to lucid dream for a LONG time with not many results. I've read a few books on the topic and the exercises just don't seem to work for me. I've had some interesting dream and astral projection experiences but it seems as soon as I achieve my "awareness" I snap back or wake up. I watched a movie recently that finally helped me realize something. The movie is called "Waking Life" (great movie, check it out). The movie taught me to find my dream "trigger" which is basically some way to know you are in a dream. I've found that I can't "write" in my dreams. If I'm dreaming, and I pick up a pen, I look down at the paper and it looks like gibberish. Now my work is in recognizing that in the dream state. I'm working on this by asking myself, every time I write on paper(when I'm awake) "Am I dreaming". Hopefully this will lead to a lucid dreaming experience.

I have always remembered every dream that I have had. When I was young, I can remember flying in several dreams. It was such a strong feeling that when I woke up I thought that I really had floated. Recently, I have had dreams of swimming underwater and being able to breath underwater without any equipment. I could feel the water being breathed in and out without it gagging or hurting me.
So , yes you can have dreams that are very vivid and can even control the outcome of a dream when you realize that it is a dream.
Remember that God has used dreams to communicate to us and to help us.

I have had lucid dreams my whole life. I think it was a defense mechanism as I've had terrible nightmares my entire life too. I can control the outcome of a dream, and in that way, I was able to make my dreams less scary.

I don't have them too often but when I do they do not last long as I get exited and try to do a number of things. They are awesome. Imagine the possibilties, it is your very own universe where you are a god. I am currently trying to train myself to have more of them as, quite frankly, dreams beat reality, for me anyway.

i don't have them that often, but when i do and i know that i'm dreaming, i tend to play out situations that could happen in real life but do/say things i wouldn't ordinarily do/say. a coward's paradise
