19. Sounds like a lot of people are doing lucid dreaming

Lucid dreaming is where you realize, either during or right after you wake up, you were dreaming. I have lucid dreams just about every night and most times it's about something different. There are some recurring dreams mainly from my time in the AF. Whenever I was changing stations, it was normal for people to take seven days for final out processing to have paperwork signed off from the various base offices. I always got my out processing done early so on the day before I leave all I had to do was sign out at the base personnel office. I had a habit of working the day when I'd sign out and I'd dream that I forgot to make arrangements for the base to schedule the movers to pack and move my household goods. I'd start to get antsy about it until I'm jolted from my dream and realize it was only a dream.

One of the things about being a lucid dreamer is often I can control the direction of the dream. There's been many times I woken up laughing because my dream was really funny.
