i started lucid dreaming when i was younger, i thought it was a special ability that i had. This was back when i didnt have computers,internet,etc i was always an outside kid and i didnt really have any friends growing up so it was usually just me by myself, life was hard growing up so i would resort to daydreaming about a better world.

when i was younger i use to have a big imagination,and i was very creative and ahead of my class of students,now that im an adult that all changed.....i feel i learned too much about the world which gives me less to imagine....i lost my magic.

i made myself a swing on a tree in my backyard foresty area it was the type of swing that had 1 rope going through a gold in the middle of a board so that i can go in any direction instead of just forward and back, as soon as i got home from school i would get on my swing and stay there for hours on end 4 hours straight of swinging on average and during that time i would just zone out into my imagination....my own perfect world. i believe all this daydreaming was training my mind and making it better/easier to lucid dream.

i got so good at imagining that i could daydream anywhere at anytime, and everything was so detailed,rich and vivid as if i was roaming the world out of my own body.

this would come into play when i would sleep aswell, i could controll my dreams to do whatever i wanted,i would just think of what i wanted to happen and it would happen in the dream, i had mastered my own world,my world was expansive because before i started lucid dreaming my dreams would mostly take place in small areas such as my house,but as i started to train my mind even further my dream world would go so far out and everything was as detailed as i remember in real life,i think my dreams would go atleast 20 miles in any direction.

sometimes when i became lucid i would ask my dream family questions such as "am i able to go into other peoples dreams?" they told me that i couldnt.

but all of that was long ago, now i dont even remember my dreams, and once in a while i become lucid but i quickly wake up after becoming lucid, when i was a kid i would not wake up after becoming lucid. i cant imagine things like i used too,heck i even find it hard to concentrate on it.

now when i become lucid i use that time to see a special loved one that passed away, there is a very slim chance that they will be there but i take it anyway, its the only way i can actually see that person again, hugging them in the dream and hearing their voice again brings a smile to my face even though it only lasts for a little while because i have to wake up eventually.
