Someone asked me what is the difference between lucid dreaming and dream walking. Here it is.
Lucid dreaming is when you realize in a dream, that you are dreaming and control the dream. Plenty of times I've been known to be dreaming, not like how the dream is turning out and be able to change on the spot the direction of a dream, or replay the event so it happens a different way. I've also been known to wake up, go right back to sleep, redream a certain part so I can dream it a different way or continue the dream.
Dream walking is when another psionic or spirit enters your mind and with your permission shares control over the dream. I've only have it happened once and this was back when I thought my neighbor was a psionic, though he wasn't, it was my spirit guide, pretending to be him because I trusted him. I thought I aped to his house and saw him in this weird ghost form. At that point in time I had never seen a person in the astral plane, and if I had I would of realized something was wrong and I was dreaming. We walked back to my house, fighting over who got the view. When you dream walk both of you have to share the view. Meaning in the dream you can only look at a certain direction. I then woke up.

In dream walking, I don't think they need your permission.
My roomates used to send me stuff in my dreams, like messages and little vids describing certain things. They were all psychic. It was my living with them (as well as the fact of living on a college campus) that showed me that literally everybody was psychic.. the thing was that I STARTED being psychic when I lived there, when I was seventeen, I had no idea that it was so all-encompassingly real, but when I moved there, I had a transition over into the truth. While I was living there, I found out that all of my younger friends (down to a friend's bro who turned 15 the day I met him) were too. But it's something they're accustomed to; they don't go telling the world, because then.. you're crazy.
It's telepathy (or at least that's what I classify it as).. as I was asleep, my roomates focused on something in their head, either a scrolling paragraph, with the words becoming clear as I reached them, or an image of a room (with a little dot of it in focus, while the rest of it was blurred; the dot was where my attention was supposed to be, it would move around, causing the blurred portions to be revealed).

I've done lucid dreaming for years now, even thought's it's pretty erratic. But sometimes I just realized "holy eff I'm dreaming" and think "hey I want a pink elephant just right there" and w00t, here comes the pink elephant. I didn't think Lucid Dreaming was psi... just some strange state of consciousness where you're not really deepy asleep yet you're already dreaming.

I've tried to master lucid dreaming for a while, but I kinda forgot about it... I was making good progress though, and still every dream I remember is a lucid dream... Exceot that when I wake up I realize that I still didn't really make my own decisions  Maybe I should try it again  |

Hell, I remember realizing a dream wasn't real (i didn't think it was a dream though, i was in a game, kinda like Existenz) and trying to fly, but it didn't work..
I also remember checking to see if I was dreaming, while dreaming, but somehow convinced myself it was real, that I was awake
And another time I woke up from a dream, but was still in a dream
