This is the first time I have ever posted on any site about my lucid dreaming. When it first happened I was so shocked and scared I went to the library and read up on it. That was when I was about 20, I am now 36. I have never even looked up lucid dreaming on the internet until tonight and I came across this site by doing a google search. If I had the internet when it happened I would have had great access to information. Now I will get to the point of my post. How I enter it. I am able to enter it by simply over sleeping. It happens to me on the weekends because I wake up at 6 am Monday thru Friday. It does happen every 6 months or so with normal sleep, but if I over sleep it can happen as often as every 3rd time. I have found that when I oversleep I get a headache and feel nauseous. But if I just keep laying in bed and forcing myself to fall asleep again I will enter lucid dreaming. I have to think about lucid dreaming as I lay there sometimes before I will have one, other times I just go into lucid dreaming. I also have noticed that sometimes I get a buzzing in my head before I fall asleep or while I am waking up. The best way I could describe it is that it is like a rising feedback sound and at the time it usually occurs my mind feels like it is really clear. What I mean by clear is that is the complete opposite of how you might feel if you are sleepy and your eyes want to close when you are tired. I hope this helps for anyone who wants to enter lucid dreaming. By the way, I have had plenty of sex dreams with my discovery of lucid dreaming but they have gotten less frequent as I have gotten older. The main things I used to do when I realized I was dreaming was to look around for a girl to do whatever I wanted. But now I tend to look around and explore my enviroment more. Maybe as I am getting older my sex drive is slowing down or the level of my testosterone is lowering. I will say that I feel like having lucid dreams has had an effect on my life. I am a very calm person by nature. I feel like I am able to live a whole life in my dreams and this has made me content. Anything I want to do I can do in my dreams and I don't have to in the non dreaming state. My experiences have made me become a more observant person and somewhat special feeling because I realize how rare lucid dreaming is. I have never met someone who has them. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing like real life experiences that I have to the fullest. Again, I hope this helps someone. ------Al
