Lucid Dreaming
Hahaha!
Sorry, I'm not at all laughing in mockery (because it sounds very scary to experience), but it must've looked very funny.
And thanks a lot for sharing! I look forward to more details about the dream state itself, though, since that's what I was most interested in.
Woah! That sort of completes the story, provided it's the same for both of you. Scary and highly interesting.
That one sounds really nice to use for a short period according to the wikipedia article about it. Thanks for the tips!

Most of the time I have lucidity. It does not matter my state of consciousness. When I was a kid I saw what seemed lika a cosmic wormhole as I entered a state of meditation during bedtime filled with thoughts that were not my own racing as fast as the light! Well ownership in itself seems to be but an illusion in my view. This stoped for the most part after the age of 12.

I can't usually gain full control of my dream unless I wake up and go back to sleep, my dream is going on in the background and when I go back to sleep I gain full control. I am aware I am dreaming all the time and can terminate the dream if I want to "change channels", but I never really do. I have lots of what most people would consider bad dreams (I'm sleeping, I don't care) when I die, the only problem is I don't know what happens after so I wake up.

I've been trying to lucid dream for the past 4 years, and when I go through a period when I actually bother to do my reality checks I have some success. But I have the same problem with waking myself up usually, because lucid dreams are easiest to have in a light or restless sleep. The last lucid dream I had, a couple weeks ago, I wasn't able to fully convince myself that I was dreaming, even though I could breathe through my nose while holding it, so I ripped off my clothes and nervously walked outside to see how people reacted. People acted like I was going around telling them that the sky was falling. I couldn't go anywhere else with it. It was the lamest lucid dream ever.
I have them fairly often because I let my imagination run wild as I lie in bed at night. I start telling myself a story or imagining scenes from books and as I drift off they become more and more vivid until they have full reality for me and I am dreaming. It works best (at least I remember them) if it is during the day either going back to sleep after waking up in the morning or taking one of my super naps (like this last Saturday when I napped from 1:00PM to 6:00PM).
There are a few really epic dreams which I have remembered for years that were better than most movies I've seen. In them I create huge settings and interesting plots. Some of them are just wandering through environments. I still have the plans and images of a huge mansion I dreamed of locked in my head. Too bad I have little interest in architecture.
