I was wondering: is it good to lucid dream or bad?

I think it's good and cool...if you can figure out how to control them. It's great for meditation.

However I still haven't figured out how to control them. Apparently the key to a lucid dream is to realize you're dreaming. Well, last night I DID realize I was dreaming and I was powerless. I was in a car with 2 of my sisters, and suddenly my face started growing bumps and losing feeling. I touched my face and looked in the rear view mirror, and I was freaking out quietly. Then I asked my sister what was happening to me, and she was just confused and calm. It's like they didn't realize what was going on. In THAT moment I realized it was all a dream.
I then told my sisters "Oh wait a minute! This is a dream, isn't it? " and my sisters started laughing at me, at the ridiculousness of my claim. Then I got frustrated and I was thinking within my dream, trying to control it but I couldn't do anything and my face was completely paralysed. After giving up, I forced myself awake and saw my face was improperly placed on my pillow and tingling from a loss of sensation (hence the dream).

Anyway, can you do it? And if so, what's the trick beyond realizing it?

I like it most of the time. I have sleep paralysis, so my body falls asleep before my mind does, meaning I'll still be awake but I can't move my body at all.
Everytime this happens I dream, but I get this weird transaction period where i'll be lucid dreaming. Most of the time it's pretty cool, however the paralysis makes the lucid dreams where I get hurt or die, absolutely terrifying haha.

Lucid dreaming is good, in almost all senses. Ive been trying to achive the ability to lucid dream for a while, but it seems hard. If you can control your dreams, lucid dreaming is very amazing.

Math is fun, it teaches you life and death information, like when you're cold, you should go to a corner since it's 90 degrees there.

I've progressed to a stage of astral projection.

A sullen heart ticking under the ground Taking the weight of which has yet to be found If you can hear me now, why don't you recall? I was the one who cared after all

I've heard of that, but I don't know what it means. Can anybody explain?

I've had a lucid dream just once. My brother and I had discussed it the day before, and in the dream I stopped, realized I was dreaming, and thought, "Oh wow, I can't wait to wake up and tell Matt about this."

Over the years, my dreams have changed somewhat. They still don't make any sense; I've never dreamed about anything that had occured in my life, but when I was younger, my actions in my dreams seemed random, and I'd wake up wondering why in the world my dream-self did what he (I) did. But as I got older, I acted and responded in dreams the way I actually would in the waking world, though I still can't control what I do.
