Craziest Dreamer Ever? Lucid Dreaming And I Think I Have Narcolepsy

Alright guys, I'm not sure if I have narcolepsy or not but I really think I do. Because I know that I have cateplexy, which is a disorder that comes along with narcolepsy. I have not got it diagnosed because I don't wont to have the chance of losing my license. Here we go...

Within 5 minutes of sleeping I start dreaming and almost 60% of the times it's a random dream, but i know I'm dreaming every time and I figure out solutions in my dreams to smartin' myself. For example, I just had a dream that I was on a roller coaster, and while I was on it I started thinking, I wonder how many people would get scared if they watched videos of roller coasters derailing, or in that fact would I get scared if I watched these videos, but I knew I was dreaming and I was thinking about this like when I wake up would it scare me or make roller coasters more thrilling, yes i know very random.

But then, this whole thought process was going on while i was riding the roller coaster around the tracks. Here is where it gets crazy, the roller coaster ended, everybody was getting out and then another cast of roller coasters started going and I was testing myself in the dream on how to climb down from a very tall height without being strapped into the cart, it is very hard to explain in detail it doesn't quite make sense, but then again it does to me.

But anyways I climb down from a very high height and lowered myself close enough to the ground to drop down. While all of this is going on I'm consistently thinking about my dream and aware of what I'm thinking when it's going on, problem solving etc. IT'S crazy as hell!

I could tell tons of stories almost every day about dreams like this, i think I might start a journal and some people have told me I should b/c I have had dreams where Im flying and control where I'm going geographically and I've never heard of any other person who's dreams are as crazy, I test myself in them all the time being totally aware!

When I first started this it scared me too much and I had to wake myself up a lot, but now I'm totally used to it. Sometimes it gets too intense for me to this day but not very often.

Theres so many stories I can tell, I just felt like I wanted to share with some people how i feel about this b/c I've never heard of any other experience like this and I've read through tons of posts on lucid dreaming etc. I don't even try to to do this btw it just started happening randomly about 2 years ago. I might get my narcolepsy diagnosed cause I'm almost positive i have it but I'm not sure. Please post me your thoughts on this I'm interested to hear other peoples' prospectives on this.
