LOL! Classic! ;D

I do not advise anyone to practice lucid dreaming. I think I mentioned this at the time, but several weeks into practice I suffered from severe exhaustion, as each night presented an abundance of absurdly energetic dreams.

Many of the dreams recalled events from the previous day, only unlike events in regular dreams they were recalled with immense detail and were extremely unrestful. Other dreams would involve bizarrely unrealistic scenarios, such as dying from too much lucid dreaming. ::) To make matters worse I'd often wake up between dreams, and the combination of an overactive mind and an unrested body left me exhausted during the day. It took me weeks to resume a normal sleeping pattern again.

So once again: don't practice lucid dreaming.

Incredibly lucid and energetic dreaming: Due to massive amounts of creativity.

Yeah I just have pure black. Sometimes a dream but I usually can't control it. Like me running through a cracking volcano with lava coming up or me trying to kill a rabid wolf with a metal pot.

I had two weird dreams last night.

I like to have the radio on all night, playing my favorite station.

Earlier in the night, I heard the song "6 Underground" by Sneaker Pimps - in it's entirety, in my dream. Then I woke up after the dream, and the radio station was about 1/3rd of the way into playing the song.

The same thing happened again later in the night, except with "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette.

I once had a very strange Lucid Dream where I was just floating and spinning above my bed in 3rd person. When I woke up I was under sleep paralysis and I was too scared to move the entire night. Terrible experience.

How about Mythbusters? That'd be quite a bit more interesting.

I once had sleep paralysis, wasn't scared though. I was just consciously asleep. Couldn't move or even open my eyes, could just think and hope morning would come soon.

A bit recently I had a dream where I was trying to kill a rabid wolf with a metal pot. Blasted thing just wouldn't die.

Why bother controlling your dreams? It just means you will have to wait longer to wake up because you will be aware of time.
I must be dreaming (wake up me wake up) How could this have happened. Tireas' cry when he found his computer fallen over in his chair with it's screen shattered.

Absolutely, and when you're actually experiencing it it's dreadful!

I know a band that wrote all their music and lyrics while lucid dreaming.

Crazy. The ability to control motor functions to write lyrics while sleeping with your mind perfectly aware? I'm impressed.

No need to be sarcastic. I don't know the band personally so I can't ask them, besides they've been defunct for years. Also I think you missed the point. Their front man Toby Driver claimed to go lucid dreaming and look for/compose bits of music, which then became some of their songs. The point was the music was from his subconscious instead of his waking mind. Personally I'm not sure how much credence to give that, but either way the music is good.
Here, have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGr2J8UTFtU

Unique stuff.

Yeah the mind can do cool stuff when set free in sleep. I dream up code at times. Like if I go to sleep with a coding problem in my head. Wake up feeling great, start programming before I eat my wheaties.

I had a dream once, where I was walking through the halls of the new YMCA in my area. I dreamed that 2 years before it was built.
