So I have been a lucid dreamer since I can remember . My dreams as a kid are actually some of my clearest memories of my childhood . Even as a kid I was able to recognize I was dreaming , wake myself as needed and even consciously make decisions in the dream . This seems entirely natural to me . I ' d appreciate it if someone who learned to lucid dream could share their experiences in comparison to mine . Do you repeat your dreams , sometimes years apart ? I have one dream involving the quick tunnels from the Gummi Bears cartoon that I ' ve been dreaming for 30 years . If you repeat your dreams , can you control or influence when to repeat the dream ? I have dreams that are like comfort food . They ' re goto dreams that I use when I need a good night ' s sleep . I ' m not always succesful in controlling what dream I ' m going to have , but I can at least influence it . When I control my dreams there is a natural flow which I can interrupt . A sequence may happen multiple times and I ' ll rewind until it unfolds the way I want . This takes a bit of effort , and the dream can feel forced and unnatural . Is it similar or can you control your dreams without the unnatural feeling ?
