I too have had lucid dreaming since I was a child. (I thought everyone did.) I have always enjoyed them and perceived them as "plays" where I can interchange the characters in the play as well as the dialogue if I don't like the plot or how the dream is progressing. However,at times I have a small window that appears during a lucid dream and have learned through concentration that I can enlarge this window and step through to the other side. The scene on the other side of this window cannot be changed as I become more of an observer to what is going on. Sometimes these are mundane scenes, unknown faces, and at times they are scenes where I am anxious but never afraid. These scenarios are brief but very vivid and I have come to recognize them as images of my future. The most difficult part is to be able to interpret them. Usually, it is only after the scenario has actually happened that I then understand what the dream meant. I have lucid dreams frequently, but the window (the snapshot of the future) that softly enters into the lucid dream and pushes the lucid dream away comes less frequently.
