Now, lucid dreams I've had many times, and I can even bring them on. If I don't fall asleep immediately, I imagine myself in a scene that looks interesting and try for full immersion. I'll try to 'hear' the sounds of the city, to 'smell' the grass, and to 'feel' the bricks in the wall I'm touching. Then I sort of 'release' the picture and things start happening that I didn't script which eventually turns into a lucid dream where I can affect what's happening. I'm particularly fond of historical scenarios, like ancient Rome.
Life's more interesting when I dream. Whether dreams means anything or not, I have no idea, but I often refer to going to bed as 'boarding the dreamland express'..
