Dreams & Thoughts
I can remember when I was young. And I would get all excited to go to bed. For a while, I actually got into this kind of 'ritual'... I would lay in bed, close my eyes, then think about something ALOT. (Oh and don't ask me how or why I started doing this? I can't remember at all, but what happens next is why I can remember this part.)
I knew that if I focused on something enough, that I would be able to have a dream that night, and sometimes.. I would be able to 'realize' I was in that dream! It was the most amazing thing, I remember.. (I can remember 3 dreams vividly, from when I was a kid that I'll explain in a second.) 
But honestly for a while I'd like to say maybe a few months, I kept doing experiments like this when I slept. (And now that I think about it, I don't think I told anyone! I'll have to ask my mother if I ever said anything about it.. >< ) And as I kept practicing and focusing on it,  I honestly got better at it. To the point where, I remember one dream not only did I know I was dreaming-but I could slightly control things in my dream! 
Now whenever I have thought about it; as I got older. Everytime I tried to do it again I would either not have a dream, or like usual, it would just be the most random, uncontrollable, dream. So it is really unfortunate I've just never been able to, like I was when I was young.
However, I've always known it was possible. So I will continue to keep trying ^^ Because it is just the most fun thing. For exampleee, I will tell you my Three Dreams I remember from my childhood.
The First Dream: 
I was in the deepest, bluest, ocean. I could see the sand on the bottom.. It was dark, but there was light where I was. I was just floating, swimming like a diver. But with nothing probably a swimsuit. Then I finally realized I was under the water though! The second I thought I needed air I suddenly realized I could breathe just fine. I think it was at that moment I realized I was in a dream, things kind of clicked. And then I would even remember my mom tucking me in for bed ! So, it's like I knew I was dreaming. Then I started to take advantage of the situation and just swam around as long as I could. I remember there being just this one school of fish, they were Bright Yellow and they looked fancy I guess, like Salt water fish. Yet that was it and it was over just as fast. I woke up and it was probably morning. 
That dream was one of the first I think, so It was the least exciting one in my opinion. I didn't know anything really, and I couldn't exactly choose everything about the dreams. Anyways! Moving on:
The Second Dream:
I was in my grade school classroom. (And this time I was getting pretty adapted to 'the dream world' let's call it .. Haha >< ) it seemed like all my classmates were there I guess, and I was fully aware I was dreaming. In fact, at this point I had had alot of nightmares and learned a trick that I was going to even share! So I remember talking to one of my classmates, a young boy that was my first friend in Kindergarden. I remember actually thinking at the time that he was dreaming too! And that we were connected, in the same dream. (that's how young I was) so I was explaining to him everything I had learned, I was like “ Yeah, we're dreaming right now! ” Telling him, then I even said “ hey if you ever want to wake up from a dream,  just shut your eyes as tight as you can. Then open them, and you should wake up in your bed.” and I learned that from being so scared in my nightmares sometimes.. After a while, I just used it whenever. So then I told him “Okay i'm going to wake up now, bye” we said our byes. Then I did, just shut my eyes tightly and I woke up.
This dream was kinda exciting for me, it was the first time I explained everything out in a dream. And finally my last dream that is my favorite.
The Third Dream:
I remember being on the street right outside my house. I used to play on this street Alot. So I was there, like I usually was in real life.. Except in a dream this time, and I knew it. (I was getting really adapted at this time.) So I was experimenting. 
(OMG I actually just remembered where I learned it from!!! Blues Clues! And OLD kids show. Wow, I remember them having an episode about being in a dream, and using the power of your mind to change a nightmare into a happy dream. Although in my nightmares I never had the thought process to think calmly. Anyways back to my dream!)
The street was calm, no cars.. Almost like time was frozen. So I stood there on the sidewalk, thinking to myself in this dream. Really hard, and I only remember thinking this one thing. So I was like “Okay, I'm going to be flying.. I will fly, I'll be up there.” repeating it to myself; picturing it in my head. Then as I open my eyes I would be in the sky! Just floating not to high, then I started to make myself glide down the street abit. 
And I do feel like there is more to this dream but I honestly can't remember.. But just having the memories I do is plenty. I want to even try tonight again, as I sleep. ^•^ To know i'm in a dream and control it.. But I haven't been able to since then and I have no idea why I even stopped. It's all just bits and pieces from my past.
