How common is it to have lucid dreams?

I have had lucid dreams almost every night since I was a kid- but I have heard that having lucid dreams is rare? and that now people are training themselves to do it.

Also my dreams always seem to take place in the same settings- there might be 10 different scenarios I visit (some have come and gone though) but I have visited them for years and can always pick up where I left off in the dream... is that normal? can anyone else do it?

    Hey! I just discovered a few minutes ago that I apparently have been "lucid dreaming" for a while! I asked a question about it.

    For me, it's something that just happens, I guess. I thought it was just regular dreaming, but, apparently, it's not. At least once a week I have a dream. It is not really the fact that I know I'm dreaming that is odd to me (I thought that was normal.), but that if I feel a nightmare coming on, I just change the dream or wake myself up. That's an event for me.

    I'd say, if you're really curious about what's going on in your head-ola, google "lucid dreaming" or, what else was mentioned, "astro-travel," I think.

    That is interesting - about the same places and being able to pick up on dreams. Once, I woke up from a nightmare and fell back asleep in the same spot I just jolted out of. It was a bummer. Only once.

    One night, I was being chased by Damien from the Omen through maybe five different dreams. That's the oddest thing that has ever happened to me. I think he chased me through bits of Jurassic Park, Dragon Tales, and King Kong before I woke up and stayed awake.

    Definately google some of this stuff - it's very interesting.

    to the lucid dreamer, yes it is very rear to have a lucid dream very night, but it seems to me that you are not dreaming , but you are astro traveling , and you are good at it . many people are unable to control it or don't now how to astro travel.

    by the way one cannot train themselves to have lucid dreams . how ever they can try to astro travel.

    all i can say it that you would have to be very very talented mate.

    you would also have to be very preceptive to a certain degree, but you don't always talk about it. what i can say is that you are very clever.

    you should be able to interpret dreams if you really wanted to.

    take care.

    Hi,

    I have not had lucid dreams. But some of the dreams, i have had have come true.

    For instance, my sister had lost her gold earings. all of us were searching for it in vain.

    one day afternoon, i was sleeping and i had dream. in the dream, i saw the earings in teh rails of our shutters.

    i woke and went to see if it really is there. it was there. i was suprised.

    THis is my true experience.
