I'm 18, almost 19, and I live in Ontario (a province of Canada). I'm a Type-A personality, high-strung, stressed individual with perfectionism tendencies. I'm jittery and find it very hard to relax, which is affecting my dream life (and personal life, although that's another kettle of fish). I've been interested in lucid dreaming for almost half my life, but being unable to focus steadily has had a negative impact, for sure. I am so easily distracted in my thoughts that on the rare occasion that I become lucid, I can't maintain focus and the dream either falls apart, or I wake up.
I was skimming the first lesson, and I thought, "This seems perfect for me."
I grew up (and am still growing up in) a high-stress, strict, emotionally abusive household with little tolerance for "weird" things. The fact that I enjoy lucid dreaming almost crosses that line... Almost, except that it's a psychologically explored topic, and I'm studying psychology, so that's "okay."
My hobbies include reading, writing, baking, and learning. I love the fantastical (I read fantasy, science-fiction, and supernatural genres) and want to be able to explore the endless possibilities that the dream world opens up. Oh, and I am deeply interested in language and psychology.
I'm interested in visualization and semi-curious about a lot of other things (although I'm a bit hesitant on my views because of my religious preferences).
I guess I should begin at the first lesson, then, and work my way from there? Is there a suggested time frame for practising before moving on to the next lesson?
