I know this is about lucid dreaming specifically, but can anyone relate to the following experiences in their dreams?
Walking outside barefooted or naked, with nobody giving a damn, but you feeling embarrassed.
Uncontrollably bouncing/floating high up and then skydiving down repeatedly (this was always terrifying for me)
Randomly running at a very high speed (like Flash himself) uncontrollably, and hoping you not hit something hard in your path.
Trying to run from some vague creepy form of a monster that you don't always see but you feel its presence, and either feeling too crippled to run or running in a very sluggish way.
As a little kid: Seeing an evil clone of your own mother, or your own mother abandoning you and going on about her life without you
Perhaps it didn't happen all the time with me then.
Does it count as lucid if I tried to exit a dream and I was able to?

It's the middle of the night and it's pitch black .Black as black can be . And i look out into the blackness and i see a Hare pure white and glowing like a full moon . I chase the Hare and it runs faster and faster i can't catch it . But i keep chasing it . Then as we run i start to see forms in the blackness tall tree like and i start to hear throat singing . But it's raspy like like paper being rubbed together . But i continue to chase the hare . But as i run the forms become more and more visible . They have faces bone white mask like faces and the singing gets louder and louder and the forms get taller and taller. I keep running and running then i see something over horizon . A small red sliver of light . I chase the hare towards it then the light greats brighter and brighter then i realize it's the moon a bright bloody red moon eerie and omenince and far to big .And the hare and i run toward it . And as we do it gets colder and colder . Soon it feels like i'm being frozen alive the dream stops .
Did you have control in that dream? I've never been entirely sure what the 'lucid' in lucid dreaming refers to... whether it just refers to the vividness of the dream, or the state of conscious control you have over it. Vivid dreams that feel real are cool, but the real buzz of lucid dreams is the control you have... where you can just say/think 'I'm bored here, I wanna go somewhere else' and you just will whatever you want and it becomes.
