How to Lucid Dream: For Dummies

If there's one thing I can talk about all day, it's lucid dreaming. A couple of years ago, back when I was in high school, I first experienced lucid dreaming. At first, I was clueless of course. What the hell is happening? Why does this feel so real and surreal at the same time? Also, where is my body?! The first thing I did - as I recall it - was to ride a broom stick and pretend I'm a witch straight out of Hogwarts, and then I remember riding a red sports car and running over people in the streets (too much GTA, I know.) It was extremely fun, so much fun that the excitement woke me up!
