Can you tell me your experience of having a lucid dream? Where you were aware you were dreaming?

I wrote a poem about it...

Lucid dreaming/ I become captain marvel in my sleep

Sinking deep and low beneath my conscious
Awake in a darkness
Familiar crossroad
And a destination beckons



The lights are extinguished
As the moonlight is lost to doubt
I’m lost amidst a foreboding feeling
Fallen, broken, caged. No way out



Crashing down upon the unforgiving tarmac behind my eyes
Alive but unseeing
Within grasp but no path
The tick of my chest reckons



A labarynth of alleyways appears
The shadowed lanes where people discard their dirt
A mass of sinister same faces pushing bins
Not quite hunting but omnipotent. My body. Inert.



Confusion
Distortion
Reality bends
Suddenly nowhere
The universe descends



Alone but connected
Defying man-made laws
No-one could see me
But believe me I soared!



Through unending dark inside I felt light
Inside was knowing with nothing in sight
Weightless and free my conscious took flight
And the universe shifted as I spun through the night



Fearless and free
From the chains of my mind
A thrill of excitement
Reaching forth from behind



Until



I feel a tug and it stops me quite dead
Where must I return? A blank space fills my head
I drift through the layers of uncertainty heavy like lead
And return to my body and remember my bed



Awake from slumber

Restless from seeing

Sensing the shifting

From outside of my being

Yep. I lucid dream 3 times a week.

I'm aware but I don't know how to wake myself up . It just feels helpess

The first time I had it was when I was falling from a building that I told myself I can't die so soon it must be a dream. Then I removed the hard surface on the ground so that I wouldn't strike it lol
