> Oh, you've got to show me how to do that (lucid dreaming)!! Dreams have never been anything to me but a manifestation of anxiety...Craig, the way I taught myself (while in college) was to keep a notebook by my bed. Every time I woke up, I wrote down everything I could remember. Soon I was remembering a lot of my dreams and trying to "analyze" them (because I was studying psychology). After a while, I would not only remember them when I woke up but would also become aware that I was dreaming, while I was dreaming, and would "metathink" about them while dreaming. Next, during a scary dream, I would "edit" the ending, right after I "died horribly" in the dream, e.g., after being shot I would wake up very briefly and go right back to sleep and change the ending. Now, during a scary dream, I pretty much just change the ending while it is happening and say, "I don't like that. I'd rather this would happen instead." You might want to research lucid dreaming on the Net (I've never done this but there must be stuff out there about it). Hope this helps!--Cindy
