Sorry, I completely disagree. Normaly I wouldnt but, this is something I've actualy done, though obviously cannot proove.

I tend to think of dreaming as random memories/imaginations in a semi-consious mind. I think that saying dreams are subconsious only, is like saying your lungs are controlled only by the subconsious mind. You can control your breathing, like dreams can be very loosely controled (in clearly, very very rare circumstances).
...and by controled, I dont mean you can dream and change the weather. When it happened to me, I could control what I said and where I went VERY breifly... the rest was the other part of my mind to decide. I didnt start the dream, and I didnt end it. Just shouted at a girl "This is a dream!", looked around, and run towards my uncles car as I saw it. Once I got in... autopilot must have taken over again...


Now I wish it never happened because I'm going to sound like a friggin loon...

Welcome Lisa fans
I often have lucid dreams. It's since I read about it in a magazine. The way how I recognize lucid dreams is that I've never dreamed about a place where I could say I've ever been. Except at the beginning or end. And I even have once tried to wake up, it didn't work. So I act like I'd normally act. Except that sometimes I have telepathic or telekinetic powers that I don't use often (I don't know why). It's very very complicated to explain that...
