      Hi everyone,

      I'm not sure what good it does to introduce oneself, but here goes. I am new at Lucid Dreaming. I'm not really looking for a mentor or a tutor or to be adopted or anything. I don't believe that there's a whole lot another person can teach about lucid dreaming - you just have to want it, and really, really want it.

      I got into this idea through the books of Carlos Castaneda. Just by the looks of things, it seems I know more about his work than other people here. Good, it's always good to have a fresh perspective. At this point, I have "found my hands" in my dreams three times, then I immediately woke up. I am not a natural at LD - oh not at all. (My sister is a natural, she does it all the time.) But I've read a lot about it, so I would classify myself as a lucid student or a lucid newbie.

      I have been working my @$$ off at LD for about a year. Ok, that's not true, I've been weakly willing myself to do it every once in a while for about a year, and been having only 3 very brief results. I am pretty frustrated right now. Every night I try to pay attention as I fall asleep, and I will myself to have LD's buuuut it hasn't been working so far. Life is short though, and I don't have time to waste.

      Castaneda never talked about WILD or any other such thing. For now, I'm suspicious of it, because it seems to be short-circuiting true control of dreaming, that is, increased awareness.

      That's me, nice to meet the other members.

      Sorta kinda. Hehe, no. Rather, I just try to recreate, relive if you will, as much of my dreams as I can each morning. According to Don Juan in Castaneda's books, recalling was entirely useless. But CC kept a journal and it seemed to help him. I'll give it a try if I'm not enjoying any success.

      No harm, but how do you know whether you know more bout Mr. Castaneda then anyone else here?
      That sounds a bit pompous.
      Apparently C.C. told his acolytes that Don Juan didn't tell him to look for his hands, but for his penis. That would make more sense to me.

      Sorry, I meant to say that I seem to have more background in him than most other people here. In other words, this isn't a site over-run by people trying to discover ancient mexican wisdom or some such.

      I came to this conclusion because I did a search for the word "castaneda" in the search bar, and read the posts I saw.

      Besides, I've read all his books, a biography, two books by his disciples, and two books of conversations with him (one that's not in print). Also, I've been doing magical passes for a year Ok, there are definitely better dreamers on this site, but if someone knows more about CC than me, that takes dedication!

      I miswrote, no arrogance intended.
