Hello, I'm new to the forums here at dreamviews. Well sort of. Ive been creepin' around here a while but finally became a member. Ive been practicing LD for about five months and have had around thirty lucid dreams. I'm finally to a point where i can finally consider myself not a beginner anymore. One reason i became interested in lucid dreaming in the first place, was to gain a connection with myself and learn more about the creativity and process my mind goes through. Another words, find myself, in some ways. I was wondering if lucid dreaming has had any effect on your mindstate (good or bad) and how you think of yourself. Any comments are welcome. Thank you
