Thread: **READ BEFORE POSTING** Adoption Guidelines

Updated 9/21/07

NOTE: This is a long post so I have divided it up into five separate posts. You don't have to read all of it, but please read the sections that apply to you, especially the "How do I get adopted?" part. If you have further concerns, questions, advice, or requests, please PM myself, Amethyst Star. My goal is to make this program even better than it has been, so any comments would be appreciated. This information also contains information from posts by Icedawg, Seeker, and OpheliaBlue.

NOTE #2: I am currently not adopting, but I am open and available to answering any specific requests you may have.


Everything you wanted to know about adopting.

1. What is adopting?

Here at Dream Views we have instituted a program designed for those who wish to begin or further their lucid dreaming abilities with the help of a more experienced and knowledgeable member. It also allows experienced Lucid Dreamers to pass their knowledge onto someone else.

2. What are the benefits of being adopted?

For those who enjoy working one-on-one, this is a great opportunity. The adopter will get to know what the adoptee’s experiences have been, what techniques have been tried, the success or failure of certain techniques, and also what kind of person the adoptee is. This allows the adopter to come up with ideas for what could best help their charge to attain lucidity as well as prevent advice from being constantly repeated.

The adoptee who has already browsed the forum, main pages, and tutorials will also be able to receive additional assistance or clarification.

Thirdly, the adoptee will – hopefully – gain a friend here at Dream Views who will help them get to know their way around this site if they haven’t already. This can be particularly helpful to those who are unfamiliar with forums in the first place.
