^^ Well said, thank you. I look forward now to your contributions here -- it seems to me you are definitely on the correct path.

For what it's worth, you might check out my Lucid Dreaming Fundamentals thread .. it's a little old at this point, but I think you'll find its placement of self-awareness, memory, and expectation far above the importance of techniques interesting. The thread's a little old, but I think its premise is sound, and you'll see that I too am much more interested in unlocking potential than in clever tricks and methods.

So good luck to you, I look forward to your future thoughts and contributions, and here's to changing the world!
