Ive actually had a Lucid Dream before. I said "I wish for... A MILLION DOLLARS!!" and like 500 tons of gold bars landed on me... XD And then I wish to fly, have super strength, and then I wished I was awake... And I was awake.. but still in my dream... but awake... so, i was in my room, going to school... asleep... weird huh?

Once I had a nightmare where I was in a castle getting chased by a mummy then a 3 eyed mummy dog saved me...

One time I dreamt about me saying: "This is just a dream" and when I woke up, I imiditely said the same thing without controlling my mouth.

i figured something out over the years that when you think about something that actualy appears in your dream that night so a dream i like a video of all your thought that you are seeing

when i was 10 years old, i had a nightmare. i woke up and my parents told me to go sleep again. but everytime when i fell back to sleep i was in the scary house again. but because i was awake asleep and awake i knew that i was in a dream. so i tried to wake up but it did not work. then i tried very hard to lift my arm and touch the wall next to my bed. so i my dream i was lifting my arm and i tried to do it in real life too. the result worked and i woke up , was happy because it was nightmare
