As a defense mechanism, I learned to control them pretty quickly, I can tell you! It soon developed so that almost every dream that I remember is lucid. That's still true to this day.
I've pretty much always had them, they started off as just lucid and a bit confusing. Then became lucid and bad, lucid then panic. Eventually got really good at controlling them and had a ton of fun. Like you say, all of them were lucid aside from the odd one or two. But a few years back I had a big bout of depression and started losing control of anything beyond myself in the dreams and getting lucid nightmares. Now I can't stand dreaming at all. Just constant bizarre dreams and lucid nightmares.
