I love Lucid Dreaming. I used to have them when I was a kid. I used to fly and just destroy the out of the entire planet. Great fun.
I also get sleep paralysis... My mind will wake up but every inch of my body will stay asleep except for my breathing and sometimes my eyes. It's ing confusing when your eyelids are glued shut when you wake up at 3:00am because I'm not even sure if if I'm actually awake, all I see is black obviously. I try to scream out just for the hell of it but my mouth is also glued shut and I sound like a retard (since my voice box is half paralyzed also). I fall in and out of sleep pretty rapidly after that, like every 1 or 2 seconds. While I'm trying my hardest to get out of bed and shake it off, my sub-concious tries to force me back to sleep. It's a ed up feeling really. I can usually get out of it by wiggling my pinky fingers or my toes. If I can get outta bed it feels like my body has been hit by a truck.
If I took a bucket load of LSD and Pills before I went to sleep I would understand... but I don't so knows why it happens!!!

Consciousness is amazing :)
All of my dreams are lucid. I play God and create whatever experience I desire.

Ever hear of astral projection? That is very real. I've had a couple experiences myself. It's like being awake but not being a part of "the body."

definitely have lucid dreams, although not as often as I would like. I have to admit the first thing I thought of when seeing the thread title was this...

Even better...

I used to do the 'falling up' thing and panic. After watching Waking Life, I went "Oh, THAT'S what's going on. Cool!" Now I just free-fall upwards without a care, enjoying the ride.

My friend always tries to remember his dreams when he wakes up- sometimes he writes them down, and he usually tells me and other friends about last night's dream. This has somehow got him pretty close to lucid dreaming- he's definitely had a few.
Personally though, I'm nowhere near lucid dreams and never will be. My dreams are so utterly illogical and incoherent there's obviously no degree of cognitive control in them at all. The few times I become aware that I'm dreaming come from me realising that an event makes absolutely no sense, and then I immediately wake up.

Keeping a dream journal will help you lucid dream as well everyone has dreams and everyone can learn to recall them but we're just so used to forgetting as soon as we wake up.

Yes; I've got a few hypothesis' on it that I won't bore you with here.
Good times though; the psychic layer of this universe is really intense.

Well never say never.
And "Normal" dreams are simply your subconscious; it's what the reptilian part of your mind, evolved millions of years ago, is thinking below the rational mind you co-exist with during your waking life.
If you see illogic and disorder, that is the core of you; eventually you will find order in life, in whatever way you do, and you will find new and exciting communications through dream.
