so i actually didn't know about lucid dreams and stuff.. but a lot of times when i'm dreaming i feel like i control what happens... like when i'm having a bad dream i know its a bad dream and i'm pretty sure i don't wake up but i start thinking of 'good things' i guess.. to try to make the bad dream go away.. i go on for a while and usually end up back at my nightmare.. also when i am dreaming and i like what i'm dreaming i feel myself waking up but i try to keep my eyes closed and i do and i keep dreamin just how i want to.. somtime i wake up get up go to the bathroom and come back and keep dreaming where i left off.. but i can usually control what i'm dooin.. i can make anything happen really.. the first thing i do when i wake up anytime usually is look at my digital clock next to my bed.. a lot of times when i do this dreaming thing where i know what i'm doing in my dream, when i wake up its been hours or just a long time period.. i fall back asleep but i know what i'm doing,. it feels like i'm awake the whole time and i don't feel like that much time has really gone by..

so is this what a lucid dream is.. or am i just really awake and it's just my imagination? i really don't know.. so any responses are good.. and also.. some people on here post like how do they stop or something like that... is it bad to have lucid dreams or what
