I just joined this site. Lately, I have been having trouble with dream recall. However, last night I remember having three dreams. None of them lucid, of course. The first one was just a fragment, but I remember flying. I had wings like an airplane or something. I also remember something about a toy box in that dream. I remember that i woke up after each dream, which gave me a chance to write all of them down. I did not use that chance after the other two, though, so I remember that I dreamed, I just do not recall what about. I used to have lucid dreams all the time when I was a kid. I am really not sure how I managed it. I had never even heard of lucid dreams. I remember that I really wanted to learn how to control my dreams somewhat because I had nightmares all the time. At the time, I did not realize what kind of power I had within my grasp. I just used the knowledge that I was dreaming to wake myself up when I had a nightmare if I chose to. These days, however, if I remember my dreams at all, they are vague and blurry. If I could just learn to recall my dreams better, I think I would also remember how to make myself lucid.
