I just had one of my first a couple days ago. It wasn't that exciting, though. All I got to do was control a school bus with my newfound psychic powers. I then tried to transform into a dragon. I think I tried it wrong, though, because instead of just thinking that I was a dragon, I tried to power-up like a DBZ character. So, because I tried too hard, I got one of those crappy false awakenings, where I think I'm awake, but I really just woke up inside another dream. So, I lost my awareness of being in a dream.

Last night I dreamed I was a cute teen-age blonde robot who knew she was going to be deactivated in a week, and was scared to "die." I really wish I'd stayed asleep long enough to see how it would have turned out

Almost always whenever I get a lucid dream I wake up. The moment I gain full control of my actions I basically think to myself "Hey, I'm dreaming, what the hell." and I wake up.
Poor Goma
I wish I could do that in a nightmare.

So, there's this asian reporter named Miku who was dragged off by a couple of the surviving zombies. I went with a small team to find her, but we found nothing except a few dolls. One of which resembled the missing reporter.
We took them back to the camp and somebody pointed out that one looked like me. I decided to go back by myself to where we had found them for one last look around. It was up in the attic of a wooden building. Like a general store or something.
I entered the attic and used a flashlight to look around a bit when I saw something chewing on a corpse near a corner. I dropped the flashlight and reached for my gun which wasn't there. I don't know what happened to it. The thing started shambling towards me so I grabbed a pair of scissors that were conveniently nearby. It walked into the light coming from the broken roof and turned out to be an undead dog.
I stabbed it in the head immediately assuming it would die instantly, but it just kinda got stunned. I had made a small hole in its head so I started wriggling the scissors about until I could break upon the skull. I pried a large chunk of bone off where I could see the brain. I stabbed it a few times and then tore a large section out. There was about a third left inside.
The dog didn't move at all during this and was still standing and staring off into space when I was done. Then I woke up.
Kinda dull. I guess the dog was old when it died. And stupid. Matilda Jane fucked around with this message on 06-10-2005 at 11:22 PM.
Total gyp.
However, it really pisses me off when I go to bed late (like almost every summer night), and someone wakes me up before the coolest part of the dream ends. I've asked my parents, shortly after being awoken, "Why did you wake me up?"
Also, being a gamer for the majority of my life, I can honestly say, I've had some really freakin' wierd nightmares. Some are somewhat memorable.

I loved the dream where I was staying at a girl scout camp inside a canyon, and it turned out all the girls and counselors were all demons in disguise ^-^ Yeah, I emptied out quite a few clips in that dream.
And in my lucid dreams, I can ALWAYS fly, but it's always really slow and awkward, sort of like in CoH actually...isn't that odd?
I have the most mindfuck dreams ever.

I used to dream lucid all the time, like 5 out of 7 nights a week, it was something I actively worked towards. No matter how much I did it though I could never outright alter the dream, no crazy dream powers or anything. Best I could do was cheat a little, stretch things a tiny bit, move a little faster, jump a little higher etc. Most of the times I would start the dream lucid, I would just be aware right from the get go, other times something would trigger it, something familiar in the dream that just click when I look at it.
I still think the coolest part of it all was still the ability to just pick something up in a dream and feel it, run your hands over it. It has weight, every little groove and notch in it you can feel, different textures feel different than the others. That item is real, you can touch it and taste it and feel it and break it but through it all you know that it is all in your head, yet there it is. Or to just sit back and really appreciate the details and scenery, man are there times I wish i could have brought a damn camera into a dream or something, heh
Ultimately I stopped trying to dream lucid and try to reverse what I had been working towards, took a long while but now I rarely ever dream lucid, once in a blue moon I do but I can live with that, heh. Largely it was because I just wasn't enjoying the dreams as much while lucid anymore, it was like having god mode on in a game, it is fun for a while but you end up having fun at the expense of the design. Knowing you are dreaming by itself changes everything about your reactions in the dream, what 'story' it had you can outright just miss because you aren't doing what you would be doing were you not lucid. I just started to wonder what I was missing, what amazing things I had walked right past because I was lucid and not really going with the dream, how many doors I should have opened but didn't.
So I decided to fix that, I still have fond memories of all the great dreams I had while lucid, but now I have many, many more about the dreams in which I wasn't.

It's not something people hear about.
I haven't dreamt (or remembered one) in a year or so.
Then, I haven't had a single night without remembering my dreams in two years or so.

I hate it when I dream often. I never feel like I get a good night's sleep when I do, and if it's a nightmare, I can't go back to sleep.
I can't remember even one dream invloving me being super human, using guns, fighting, etc. All my dreams are quite passive even though I've been an action gamer my whole entire life.
All the dreams I have and can remember I dislike so I guess its a good thing I don't dream alot.
Do the following as if you are commanding your mind what to do. First, think to yourself "I WILL remember my dreams." twice, then the third time, say it outloud.
I rarely have a lucid dream that I can recall. I do remember when I was younger, I was having a dream where I was wearing shoes with wings on them, that allowed me to somewhat fly. I was thinking it was really cool, and that I hoped I could transfer them to reality when I woke up.

Sean obviously shouldn't have said:
Wait... I started smoking pot and that was the true cause of me not dreaming lucid? Or that I stopped smoking pot, the true cause of me dreaming lucid, which caused me to stop? Or some other third other potential meaing I cannot discern?

Heh, strangely enough if I don't remember much of my dreams or just flat out don't have very vidid, long dreams I never feel like I got a good night's sleep. But if I have a great freaking night, my head hits that pillow and BAM, I am living a huge, complex dream of huge detail... I feel like I slept for 3 days and could run a marathon, even though I was only asleep for like 7 hours (Barely enough to function normally by my standards)
The worse I dream, the worse I feel
Ultimately I like my nightmares as much as my normal dreams, I take the good with the bad. Makes for a good character study of myself I suppose. Seeing how I react in a dream is a lot like seeing how I would react in a similar situation in real life. To myself in the dream, when I am not lucid... the dream is everything, for all extensive purposes it is real life to me for that period of time. Can't have good without the bad and I do appreciate the chances to see how I would react in less than happy situations... deaths of friends, family or even myself. Like to think it helps me understand myself better
Well, one of my recent lucid dream I had wasn't 100% normal, even for me. At one point during the dream I eventually realize I am dreaming, I know I am asleep and that I can wake up. Problem is I have no memory of myself outside the dream, I knew it was a dream, knew none of it was real but then I began to wonder. I began to wonder if maybe this wasn't such a nightmare after all, what if what things were like in the waking world were so horrible that this fucked up place was in fact a pleasant escape.
It was a pretty screwed up dream at this point, myself along with hundreds of people had been kidnapped by a gang of... dunno, bad guys, who were using people for target practice and experiments among other things. One of which was hooking people up to IV drips laced with motor oil to see what it would do, one of which I discover had been me.
So through the dream I am starting to feel weaker and weaker, everyone that had the oil injected into them is dying and I am going too. I know eventually I will die and wake up, nothing I can do about that now, but my greatest fear now is that maybe who I am when I wake up is someone completely different than who I am now. That the reason I cannot remember who I am outside of the dream is because who I am outside the dream isn't who I am now and that if I wake up, if I wake up and don't remember the dream who I am now is just gone, as if I never existed. That scares me worse than waking up to some godawful hell, that if I wake up I am just gone, someone else wakes up and I am just gone, never known, never forgotten.
In the end I managed to escape into some decrepit old house while on the run from the bad guys, constantly getting weaker, to try and buy a moment to just stop for a moment and wake myself up. But I get faint for a moment and fall onto my back, crashing through the eaten away floorboards into the basement where I die moments later.
Needless to say it was one seriously trippy thing to wake up from, the memories of... not knowing, of being me in the situation and just now knowing. One of those dreams I just sat there and thought about for a real long time.
And as screwed up and horrible it was, for all the fear I felt, the weakness as I slowly died, unable to stop it while fearing both being asleep and awake... I wouldn't give it up for anything, that dream is one of the dreams I will always look back upon and just remember.

I have had dreams that scare me. Then there are the ones that should scare me and they don't.
For example, the other night I dreamt I was the commander of some secret military organization. Some people from an opposing side found my hideout, which was on a secure military base. I beat them to death with a broken wooden baseball bat. While topless. 
When I say I beat them to death, I mean they looked like hamburger after I was done with them.
Then I had a kung-fu style battle with others that made it to my hidden tranquility pond.
