I lucid dream. I never tried to do it, it just happens. I thought it was how everyone dreamed until someone told me what lucid dreaming was, ironically. Part of this is I always know when I'm dreaming and I can keep a sense of time as well. I almost always know when its time to get up, unless I've been drinking. I usually wake up like 5 minutes before my alarm. Because I know I'm dreaming, I am not afraid of injury or death. I have died twice while dreaming and I don't wake up. Once I jumped off a building ( which is funny because I LOVE the feeling of falling, I cliff dive and bungee jump whenever I can) and I hit the ground. Everything went black and I didn't wake up. The other time I was stabbed and again everything went black. I just sat there and thought " huh, this is death".
