Thread: Shift is Adopting

Name Shift. Nearly 21 years old, a biology/psychology student just finishing my third year of college.

Abilities 101 LDs so far. Able to get DILDs about twice per week±, and have WILDed a few times. Was a Dream Guide on DV from September 6, 2008 to March 31 2009. I am pretty good with dream control. I can regurgitate information on nearly any topic about lucid dreaming, and often use actual research articles and empirical evidence to base my knowledge off of. I also have a collection of these articles that I'd happily share with anyone who wants to really learn as much of the science as possible.

Amount of time you've been having lucid dreams 5 years. With serious effort put in since March 2008.

When you are usually available to answer questions Always, through MSN, PM, and usually through DV chat.

What I expect from the adoptee Maturity and dedication. Don't waste your time contacting me if you're going to end up wasting mine. My goal is to to teach someone to be an awesome lucid dreamer- one of the most important things you have to do is keep a dream journal, and if you cannot keep one at least 4-5 days a week, then it's not worth the time to adopt you, especially for those wanting to learn to DILD.
I would like to adopt a relatively intellectual, mature, and dedicated individual. I would like for my adoptee to be at least 18 years of age, although if the maturity is there I do not care so much about age. I'd prefer it if older members, who aren't going to be dazzled by the forums but still want to learn, try me out, since I think I could teach you lucid dreaming probably on that next level that one desires.

!!!I'm highly skeptical when it comes to beyond dreaming topics. I can teach you nothing about such 'paranormal' topics!!!I do not have a lot of experience WILDing. At the time of this posting I have had 6. I have the theoretical knowledge, but if you're looking for someone who can provide firsthand experience, what I've accomplished is very minimal and I'm not the person for you!!!If you are starting out and just want to learn to DILD, please respond. If you want to learn to WILD, but currently don't have the time and sleep to waste learning it but want to build a foundation, please respond. If you just want someone to teach you, but without the wealth of first-hand experience, please respond!!!I live on the East Coast of the USA. If you are from a different time zone that will cause communication issues, I may not be willing to adopt you as this can make it very difficult. If you are from outside of North America, please let me know when you are able to be only easily so that we can try to work this out!!!

Ok, now that I have gotten that out of the way, I'm actually rather easy going and friendly person and would just really like to teach someone to lucid dream one-on-one so that they can benefit and share the same ability as I have since learning to lucid dream. I feel that lucid dreaming can infinitely increase the quality of a person's life and I'd like to improve the world in one of the ways I can, by improving peoples' lives on an individual and personal level. It's also one of my favorite hobbies that I have spent the past 13 months studying and practicing. So if this sounds like something you're interested in definitely feel free to respond and let's see if we can't get you lucid dreaming within two weeks I'm looking to pick up maybe 2 adoptees so get in touch with me and I'll consider all applicants.

Ok so if you're interested please reply here:

Age: 16
Location: South England
LDs had, and type: None so far.
Do you keep a dream journal? Yes, but I have really bad dream recall so most of it is just fragments or random pieces of dreams. It's here.
Would you be willing to keep a DJ 4-5 days/week? I'm willing to write in the dream journal pretty much every day I have, but at the moment I'm not remembering 4-5 dreams a week.
Would you be willing to keep it online, if it's not? It is.
Status in life? I'm in a sixth form college, doing A-levels in Physics, Chemistry and History.
How much sleep can you get per night? 8, maybe 9 hours a night. It's the same on weekends.

What would you like to learn from me? My two main goals at the moment are to improve my dream recall so I can remember a full dream at least every other night, and to have at least one lucid dream. I'm hoping that you can help me improve my dream recall, and lead me through the processes of reality checks and other sto help me have a DILD.

Thanks. I hope the time zone / me being a new user isn't too much of a problem. If the timing is awkward communication just by PM or email is fine.

I don't record all of my dreams here - only the ones I find interesting - though I will if you want me to
Would you be willing to keep a DJ 4-5 days/week? Yes, every day
Would you be willing to keep it online, if it's not? It is
Status in life (ie student, out of school, etc) Student
How much sleep can you get per night? Weekdays: 7-10, Weekends: As much as possible
Do you take any kind of medication or use recreational drugs? (if you don't want to answer this you can PM it to me) No
Do you use or plan on using any so-called 'lucid aids'? No
How much time on average do you spend online, per day? Weekdays: I check DreamViews everyday, and due to school I'm on for about 1-2 hours. Weekends: 4+ hours
What would you like to learn from me? Mainly DILD. I feel I am a good WILDer, though I have only had two DILDs and they were both very short. Certain factors have kept me from WILDing all the time, so it would be nice to have a reliable alternative.

Knowing how to DILD is important to me because it takes up less of your time than WILDing, and though I want to get good at WILDing, the DILD is better to have a grasp on if you've got things to do and can't wake up 5 hours after sleep to WILD.

Do you keep a dream journal Yes, both online and physically
A link to a DJ, if you keep it online Here
Would you be willing to keep a DJ 4-5 days/week? Definitely
Would you be willing to keep it online, if it's not? N/A
Status in life (ie student, out of school, etc)Student, currently on a school break & unemployed due to medical problems D= So lots of spare time for a few months
How much sleep can you get per night? 6~10 hours.
Do you take any kind of medication or use recreational drugs? Marijuana, though in my experience it hasn't effected dream recall or ability to LD unless I'm super stressed. No medications aside from occasional Ibuprofen, and I don't smoke marijuana daily.
Do you use or plan on using any so-called 'lucid aids'? I don't, and I'm not sure because I don't like putting things in my body unless I know about them thoroughly. Its a possibility.
How much time on average do you spend online, per day? Depends. Usually a lot of time, even when I have plans. If I have plans throughout the day with friends or whatever, I go online later at night, but still spend a lot of time on it D= I have plans about 3~5 days a week.
What would you like to learn from me? How to DILD better, of course. Not just that, but I can't make a thread every time I have an unanswered LD related question that could help me. I find learning from people is much more effective than the standard format of a tutorial that can leave much to be desired in the way of knowledge.

It'd be appreciated~ 8D
