Lucid Dreaming

Have you ever had a dream where you know your dreaming, so you take control of everything? Well, that's lucid dreaming. I've been lucky enough to experience it once. I don't know how I was able to become lucid, but it was quite strange how I became aware that I was dreaming. My sister actually told me I was dreaming, and I was like "Really?", and she replied "Yes". I realized that she was right and I did everything and anything I wanted! Til I woke up...

Becoming Lucid is like no feeling you get from any sort of drug (I've never done drugs but I hear becoming lucid is better than any drug experience). I mean in dreams you're not bound to any rules or laws that you have in real life. You can be just you, and do anything. Sadly I've only experienced this once and it was a long time ago. However last night I did some research about becoming Lucid, and have decided to train my brain to be aware of when I'm dreaming.

This marks a milestone in my life I would say. The reason I decided to take control of my dreams is because last night I became very unhappy, because I'm believe I am stuck on a path in college, with something I don't want to pursue (art). I honestly can say that art is not my passion, and I DON'T have ANY passion in life.... this depresses me because everyone around me seems to know exactly what they want in life. I mean I am happy in real life, but I suppose there is something else I want. And in my dreams I hope I am able to reach out and grab it. Enter another state of mind perhaps, and figure things out about myself that I might not have known otherwise. Heh. Well, I guess that's all there is I want to say for now.
