lucid dreaming question/help?
i have had odd dreams my whole life. at a young age i found out i could control them, by theory of logic. meaning my brain said 'this is too odd to be real, therefore it must be a dream, so i am in control'. i have always been strangely realistic and aware. for years i never had problems sleeping, let alone disturbing dreams (not to be confused with nightmares).
i have been an insomniac for at least the past 7 years (and yes, a lot has been going on for those 7 years). my only escape is my sleep and dreams, which have been becoming more vivid and disturbing. every now and then i have great dream i want to stay in, but always wake up, disappointed to not finish the dream. (oh, and wanting to finish the dream is a good night!)
knowing that this is my only, and wishfully, calm time, i want to go back to my youth and be able to have more control in my dream state.
can anyone recommend books, websites, or personal techniques for lucid dreaming. i would hope having a bit of control would lessen my fitful dreams and help with my sleep. i have been in control of my sleep and dreams before, just not as aware back then as i could be today.
please, any recommendations, techniques, etc. would help. i'm at my wits end with insomnia and crazy @ss dreams that leave me feeling even more tired than when i actually fell asleep.

I'm trying to teach myself how to Lucid Dream. All the stuff I have read though just says throughout your day to do "double takes" on things. Say for instance you look at the time and it says 10:30. Look away, and then look back. If it still says 10:30 or 10:31, then think in your head, "Ok, this isn't a dream." Eventually, (after doing double-takes like that so many times) you will do that in your dream. You will look at something, like a clock, and it will say 5:00. And you will look away, and then when you look back, it will say 2:47. And you will think to yourself, "wait, how is that possible? This must be a dream". And then your lucid dreaming should begin!
Hope that wasn't too confusing.
(Oh and you don't have to do it with just clocks, you can look at a painting, look away, and look back. If it's still the same picture, well the it's clearly real life. )

When you are ultimate your eyes I love to think an episode on spongebob how he imagines him self in a situation wherein its simply him within a clean. Lol he ultimately controls his goals to showing to different peoples goals. Keep imagining your self within that clean, Then simply get at ease and take a look at to transparent your brain earlier than doing this. That's how I first knew learn how to manage in my goals. Lucid dreaming considering that I was once born
