   Hi Ktulu,   
      
   I would have to say you've got the definition of lucid dreaming correct, at   
   least as far as I know it to be!   
      
   You are very lucky if you can often and naturally dream lucidly.  Some have   
   to work at it, and others probably never get to do it once!   
      
   I've been out of the dreaming loop for a while, so I'm definitely out of   
   practice on the whole lucid dreaming thing, but I have achieved that state   
   once a few years ago, and it didn't last long, either.  I got so excited   
   about being in a lucid dream that it quickly ruined it for me.  I'm now   
   getting back into dreaming, again.  I'm starting at the beginning, though,   
   with the whole Dream Recall 101 self-taught class.  I'm one of those that   
   seems to have to gradually work my way to becomming a dream master (or   
   mistress, if you want to know the truth).  It seems that once you get out of   
   practice, it starts to seem as if you're not dreaming at all!  (But we all   
   know well that we do, we just might not remember them.)   
      
   So, Ktulu, speaking from my point of view, you're one lucky fellow.  :)
