      Hello all

      Well, since I'm new here, I figured I might as well just start here. My friend, Artelis, told me about lucid dreaming a couple weeks ago and pointed me toward a website. I tried to have a lucid dream, but havn't tried it recently.

      The first time I tried to have a lucid dream, I almost got there. I tried a WILD by concentrating on my breathing. I got to the point where your whole body goes numb, but every time I got there I relized I couldn't hear myself breathing and woke up. The second time I did that, it felt like I was actually waking up from a nap and couldn't remeber what I had been thinking about a few seconds ago becuase of my bad dream recall.
      I'm not sure what I should call that, I think I was dreaming, but I didn't see anything. If it was a dream, it was of myself thinking about random things...

      The only other time I have recently had a lucid dream was about two week ago. I was at my piano teachers house wating for my lesson when I fell asleep on her couch....I don't remeber very much of the dream anymore, I should have written it down. All I remeber was watching a sence unfold and realizing I was dreaming. While I was dreaming, I relized I didn't have a body and because of that I didn't try to do anything. I woke up a little bit later anyways because the person before me was leaving.

      Ah yes, the nap on the couch. I've heard this called NILD. Nap induced lucid dream. LeBerge says that sleeping in the day time can really increase the frequency of lucid dreams.

      welcome Munkle. I blame you. savvy?


      seriously...

      I got to the point where your whole body goes numb[/b]
      that's called sleep paralysis.

      I'm not sure what I should call that, I think I was dreaming, but I didn't see anything. If it was a dream, it was of myself thinking about random things...

      [/b]
      was this after the sleep paralysis? if so, it was probably some stage before REM sleep, REM sleep is the point where you dream. were you thinking weird things or seeing them? if you were seeing them, it was hypnogogic imagery. just somethign that happens before you enter a dream.

      welcome to DreamViews Munkle! ^_^

      The upper pennisula does, but we just get a fair amount of snow down here in the middle of the lower penninsula.

      After letting everyone sit and wonder about when I'll reconize all of the wonderful welcomes, I've decided to finally come out and say THANK YOU for welcoming me to this forum...

      I always forget to do these things. I'd tell someone to smack me everytime I forget, but then I just wouldn't be a happy person anymore....
