Thread: Looking for a newbie to adopt

Name: Placebo
I'm a natural with nightmare induced LD's, can WILD, and have success with some varieties of dream induced lucids.
I've had somewhere between 25 and 50 LD's (hard to say really...)
Have a lot of up and down times of intense LDing and dry seasons

Dream Abilities + Experiences
- Have spoken to my subconscious (and pissed it off)
- Flown.. with difficulty (still working on it)
- Have ghosting abilities in LD's (sort of similar to the guys in Matrix)
- Force fields
- Summoning objects
- Transformation
- Global Telepathy (listening to multiple people's thoughts at once). This was supposed to be real dangerous to the subconscious. Not so hard after all (for me anyway)
- Usually have dream induced lucids (ie. I realise I'm dreaming inside the dream... ie not wake induced)
- Have had 1 successful WILD. Currently working on it some more.
- Wrote a subliminal message program. Unfortunately has problems with hardware problems (phosphor afterglow)

Interests: Game Development (& playing), Lucid Dreaming (no way! ), Artificial Intelligence things, Computer programming, Lock picking (for fun, not crime )
Goals: Work for a game development company (or start one). LD more regularly. Experiment with the nature of LD's and Dreams - determine the scope if possible. And find a lock thats not too expensive and won't be figured out in under an hour :/
Amount of time you've been having lucid dreams: Since around 6 years old I think. Not sure.

Looking for an adoptee thats fun, and light hearted. And a real desire to lucid dream... obviously. And preferably with a desire to experiment and probe your mind and dreams - in a fun way of course.

If you want a one-on-one sort of extra guidance help - tips, general chatter, etc... then I can help.

If you don't know what you want, but think being adopted sounds real cool, then I'm not interested.

goals:Get back with my girl, and spread the word that sleep is not just a
empty spot in the night.

amount of time I've been having lucid dreams: All of my life. Started actively practicing it when I was 16, before I knew that other people did it, and really got involved with it a year ago after seeing Waking Life.

anything else I think is relevant: I'm no lucid master, but I have lucid dreams and actively practice and work on my technique. I think I know enough to help get someone started on their dreaming path

name: LORD soth

abilities: LDs every so often, i know more than most people 'bout em, anyway

interests: programing, hacking (ETHICAL hacking ) electronics...

goals: to somehow.... be able to have an LD anytime (at night) i want

aotLD-ing: for about 3 years..... at least thats when i first learned about it

LIMITED TIME OFFER: WILLING TO ADOPT 2 NooBS, HURRY, ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT! (thats just to get ya interested)

pm me!

Name: Scwigglie (real name is confidential. lol )

Age: 18

Abilities: I have LDs a few times a week, and what I can do in each depends on the type of LD it is.

Interests: Foreign languages, math (I know I know, I'm weird), movies, suddenly psychology, friends...

Goals: To be lucid every night without trying, and to develop full control in every case. Oh and uh.. survive college?

Amount of time have been having LDs: Well, I had some random LDs as a kid, and then became interested in them again years later. I joined this site, and after a bit of practice, have been having success.

So, PM me, don't be shy! Whether you want to be adopted, have a question, just wanna talk, I'm available!

Name: Paul

Abilities/Interests: Writing (not poetry!), alto sax, meditating, LD (of course), and eating.

Goals: To fit 36 marshmellows in my mouth at once (duh!)

Amount of time LDing: Having them all my life. Discovered what they are about 1 month ago.

Reason you should pick me: I'm better.

Name: Graeme

Abilities: I use a technique I have called Threading. This allows me to weave my dream world (and my waking world to a lesser extent) according to expectation/desire.
I have lucid dreams most nights (though not for the last 2 weeks for some odd reason!), and this has been going on for the last year and a half.

Interests: writing, teaching spirituality/sharing spirituality with others, playing piano, chatting on forums, wanting to travel to India in the fall.

Goals: to finish writing my trilogy (http://www.henchkey.com), to perfect Threading to the point that I can maintain a form of awareness all the time, to use all my energy to help out in the ongoing movement to guide humanity to a better state of consciousness.

Amount of time I've been having lucid dreams: for the last year and a half. I have strange kinds of lucid dreams, I'll share them with you if you're interested in being adopted.

Anything else I can think of that is relevant: anyone I adopt, just so you know, I share the philosophy that the teacher/pupil are equals and can learn an equal amount from each other, both in their own way. No assertion of superiority...that is a bad thing!

Name: MSG < my initials....
Abilities: Lucid all teh time, but when i get loosid i wake up
Interests : HTML, Maya, AfterEffects, Photoshop, and maybe even flash...
Goals : To AP and to be 100% loocid and to become a famous actor....?
Amount of time you've been having lucid dreams: 1st one about a month ago, a bunch since

uh i wanna adobt someone with an extraordinarily odd (possibly retarded) user name.

Here are some examples of extremely off-the-wall names:

Docthory
Rakkatakkaschmickenwhatever
Kaniaz
Shayne

Thats all i can think of right now....

I am not looking to be adopted, but to find someone who I can understand me and is similar to my points and views of life.

Name: Khronos - God of Time...

Abilities: Just read into Lucid dreaming, but I have been experiencing them since before I can remember. My abilities are vast and are unable to comprehence through simple words. In other words, if you can think of existance as a whole, then we're on the same level more likely. I just came onto this site last night, and already had a lucid vision.

Interests: Science, philosophy, film and photography, writing, music, time, competitiveness, success, gambling, humour, skateboarding, girls, etc.

Age: 17 yrs of age, but my mind seemed far more mature. Most of the time anyway...

Religion: I was born Catholic and moved to Christianity, now I have more own views of life and religion, although they are still closely linked to christianity/budhism. I believe in a deeper balance between heaven and hell. A fusion more then a neutrality.

Goals: Undetermined where fate will lead me.

Location: Vancouver BC in body, beyond existance in mind.

Note: I may have posted here (forgot) but even so I'll refresh it with this post =)

Name GestaltAlteration (Nick)
Abilities: Wild Mild High dream recall natural lucid dreams.
Interests: Currently LDing Doom editing (video games in general) TV (Who isnt) Huge intrest in drawing anime and I love building and creating things.
Goals In real life I'm still looking for my true purpose.. Lucid dream wise I would say getting one whenever I please.. Which is not an easy task
Amount of time you've been having lucid dreams Years.. First one when I was 5.

The reason I want to adopt is to help people with their questions and be a help to them, Pick me

Name: Starts with an S, but you can call me "Ame," "Amé" or "Star" if that's easier than the full "Amethyst Star."
How long you have known about Lucid Dreaming: Since I joined DV
Date that you joined DV: 13 Jul 2004
LD Experience:
-Frequency of LDs: I manage about one short LD a month. I don't put a whole lot of effort into it personally, but that doesn't mean I won't put effort into helping you!
-Strengths and weaknesses: I would say my biggest strength is dream control. With every LD I've had, I've been able to figure out more and more about how to get things to work the way I want them to. Another strength is dream recall. It's not as hard as it seems and I'd love to help you build yours! As for weaknesses, I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to WILDs. I've never had them and nothing's ever hinted that I will, though I'm sure that that's not entirely true.
Abilities in dreams (LD or NLD): Walking through walls, breathing under water; occasional flying (NLD)
Availability: PM me. If I forget to reply, send me another message and guilt me into replying. I will, I promise. I'm usually on between 7-10pm PST.
Adoption: Closed
Additional Information: I'm currently 25, a Christian, and a graduate from the U of Montana (B.A. in Russian).

-Amé

Updated 615/2010

Note: I'm not very good at keeping track of what's going on with adoptees, so if you're someone who just wants to ask a few questions whenever they arise, let me know. Just be specific. I don't do vague very well.

Alright guys...looks like I'm ready to start a little family of my own. Please read through this before requesting to be adopted by me

Background info: I'm 22 years old, in my senior year getting a degree in design...live in Ohio (bleh) hopefully not for long though. I have been lucid dreaming for about 4 and a half years. When I first began to have LDs I had no idea what they were, just that they were really cool. I would have them during naps in between classes freshman year. After awhile I became more and more busy and I would only have LDs maybe once or twice a month. Since I've joined this forum in August, however...I have learned how to induce LDs in a variety of ways and am learning new things everyday. I've had hundreds of short lds...and maybe 10-15 really long and vivid ones. I have alot of False Awakenings while I nap which causes me to go lucid...I usually can exert alot of control in my lucids and I think I could be alot of help to those who are also "natural" lders like I am. Because I do not keep a dream journal, or perform reality checks or anything like that which is suggested and which alot of people do...I usually just KNOW that I am dreaming. I've had several WILDs, and I believe I have even met my Dream Guide...just once though.

My Favorite Lucid Things I've Done:

- fly everywhere!...like over oceans and deserted islands or cities
- breath underwater
- run like a cheetah
- take advantage of my hot male Dream Characters
- chase down a horse and rip it to pieces (I was a werewolf...I had just watched Van Helsing haha)
- fly with Dracula, actually became one of his "brides"
- eating a whole birthday cake...with my hands
- fight off an alien invasion, though my rocket launcher only shot duds
- lay in the middle of the street and let the rain fall down on my face (high lucidity)
- lay in the sand and watch it run through my fingers (high lucidity)
- get to know my Drean Guide, Alan(?) still questioning this one, he's only shown up once
- lots of experiments, like fusing through screen windows, entering mirrors
- I'm sure I'll think of alot more...

Anyway, if you are serious about learning to LD and want to stick around and think you would like to be adopted by me, just send me a PM and we'll talk. Who will be my first adoptie??....

I'm now looking for three newbies to adopt because I want to, and haven't actually bothered. Come on. Get adopted by me. I have candy. [/lazy]

Id like to adopt some peeps i guess...

Im a senior in college, philosphy major. after i graduate I plan on becoming an elite athlete.

Ive LDed about...12 times? in the last 4 years. But I have very good natural dream recall, and very vivid, fucking awesome non LDs.

I hope to LD more, and acheive things that cannot be done in the real world.

I spend most of my time: rowing, erging, lifting, video gaming, disc golfing, yelling at strangers, basket weaving, faking seizures, chasing defenseless animals.

Anyway, I'd love to adopt someone They will be given as much tips as they can and I will do my best to help them Seriously

Be adopted by Haz!

~Haz

OK well I wouldn't mind Adopting some peeps ethier. ummm some info on me..... right

Im a GIRL for some of you folks that keep calling me a guy
im in the 10th grade and i have plans on Graduating next year
my pic is somewhere on the site so yeah.
i've been LDing for ever. i found out by Placebo that im a natural.
I know about LDing mainly cuz of the fact that I run my own site about LDing
U wanna know anymore. PM me

I'll adopt some minions of doom, whats the worst that could happen? Put me down for adopting.

I'm 15

I'm an extreemly skilled shot with a shotgun (not that that matters)

I'm an abstract thinker.

I laugh at society more than I try to be part of it (in a lol chav way)

I'm a musician

I'm an artist

I'm a pineapple.

Well, I'm no expert here, but I would be willing to adopt someone who wants to talk about LDs and share ideas. In fact, one person has already expressed an interest. So.... here I am.

My name is Wayne, I'm 44, married, no kids. I live in Phoenix, AZ, USA. I work as a programmer. I love sports on TV -- especially NASCAR. I guess I'm a natural LDer, though I still can't do it consistently and my control isn't always the best. But I'm willing to share what I know and what I've experienced.

Um, I guess I'll post here. I kinda don't care one way or the other 'bout having lots of lil' adoptees, but I'm always willing to help others and although I'm a natural, I have read the Tutorials and would be willing to assist any newbs in any way I can, lucid dreaming-wise.

Never fear, Rakka-mama is here! *hugs* o-----(-^_^-)-----o

Appropriate names to call me by once adopted:

*Ramu-sensei "Teacher"
*Ramu-mama or Rakka-mama "Mother"
*Ramu-oneesan "Big Sister"
*Ramu-oneesama
*Ramu-oneechan
*Ramu-neesan
*Ramu-neechan

Names I will call you by once adopted:

*[male name]-kun
*[male name]-no nii-chan
*[female-name]-chan

*Kohai "Junior"

Yeah i want to adopt someone.

Basically all you need to know about me is that I rule.

But if you want more, i have another post in this thread a while back...

To to really see what IM about, read my dream journal, or just check my profile and look at all my posts. And if you like my style, maybe ill let you hang with me.

++ Not adopting at this time ++

I&#39;ve decided that I would like to adopt a couple of newbies&#33;

Name: Clairity

Abilities: I am pretty good at WILDS.. but now that I said that I&#39;ll probably have a major dry spell.
I recall about 2 dreams a night but am just getting back into keeping a dream journal.

Interests: My family, LDing, movies, music, ballroom dancing (salsa, cha-cha, swing, waltz, etc.) and belly dancing.

Goals: To LD whenever I attempt to... still working on that secret formula&#33;

Amount of time you&#39;ve been having lucid dreams: About 7 years. I have LOTS of tapes, CDs , books , videos and products designed to help achieve lucidity (some helped/some didn&#39;t).

Other relevant information: I love to laugh (it keeps me sane) but I&#39;m also very sensitive to how other&#39;s feel and I go out of my way to ensure that I never intentionally hurt someone&#39;s feelings by word or by deed (I expect no less from those I adopt).

Let me know if I&#39;m what you&#39;re looking for in an adopter.

Name Jerdan

Abilities Lucid daily, 90% WILD
I have tamed The beast that is known as Sleep Paralysis,

Interests : partying, lucid dreaming , riding, tennis, swimming, existentialism, music/guitar/piano

Goals : To Pass on my extensive knowledge of Lucid Dreaming,
Especially to those who get paralysis but can';t control it

Amount of time you've been having lucid dreams : on and off.. 15 years, predominant over the last 2 years

Hey
Looking to adopt !!
I'll answer any questions
and I'll show u the way, the secrets, to mastering lucid dreams, paralysis, all that !
whoa !

I am also looking to adopt, my passion for teaching others about their inner worlds stands on its own, I am willing to help in any way I can...
greetings...I am looking forward to helping out here, and I think this is a neat program..
Well I have added a bit about myself in the welcome forum, but I will list my background again, I began doing research and dream studies at the age 17 this has caused me to reach many new states of consciousness, with my techniques I pushed further in order to gain even higer awareness than lucid dreams, moving on to astral projection and out of body states...I have been doing this for ten years now, and I must say that my efforst have paid off in many ways, I feel I am very close to my dreaming worlds, its as if I built a bridge to the other side of reailty...but I feel anyone can achieve this, and I also beleive it is an understand of self that grants us further awaerness and higher lucidity states, the more we see past the illusions of what weve built the more we see the truth of ourselves...I am determined to show an teach anyone who wishes to learn, it is my one of my goals...

My interests are many ranging from, spirtual,inner growth,natural healing,herbal lore,music,art,creating...and teaching as much as learning..
my goals at this point is to reach a state of highest awareness and to improve my psychic abilites, together working with dreams and psychic tools I plan on reaching new levels of awareness and new dimensions of reality

This year I have joined together with two great people who wanted to get their experiences out there and we began a out of body guide and many differant other guides as well.,also we are have done lucid dream research and out of body research, together we have created a very helpful group that offers support and discovering and achieveing higher levels of consciousness and putting togher answers as we go.. which so far has gone pretty well.. my partners are working on books as well for out of body travel.


I love to teach so I come to the right place, I am not perfect on my dream travels, however I learned that focus and will combined can create marvelous effects.
thanks!! I hope to help someone soon!
