Hey all, I already had my first post in the Attaining Lucidity forum (http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13834) and gave myself a basic introduction in there. I just wanted to say hi and that I will probably be a regular member to the forum from now on.

Things about me:
- 18, soon to be 19 year old male.
- go to Northeastern University in Boston, MA for Electrical Engineering
- have been reading about the mind since I was young, starting with a book report on dreams in the 2nd or 3rd grade.
- not religious, but believe in something...more
- single 8) but happy
- I drink on the weekends, and smoke pot occasionally -- but all in moderation
- Havent remembered my dreams since I was little
- Have a feeling I know how to control my dreams, as I know I can become conscious during a nightmare and wake myself up (although I havent had a nightmare since I was young, so I havent had to do that in a while). I just dont remember how.
- I like to DJ in my sparetime. I listen to all types of music, but mix mostly hip hop and R&B. (click sig for music, my best song is "move girl")
- I like to chat with hot babes online all day

Things I have recently discovered:
I had a dream about someone very important to me leaving when I was younger, and I think that is when my dream recall went blank
I remember having dreams where I was running up the street towards my house, but gradually started slowing down until I had no power anymore. I could barely squeeze my fists. I definetly think I used to have lucid dreams, I just dont remember any of them.

Things I want to acheive:
- Be able to remember at least one lucid dream per night, consistently.
- Be able at least one dream per night with extreme vividness/lifelike feel.

I have started to keep a dream journal, but have not had much success with the recall.
I have had a realization this afternoon about how I think I can WILD, I just dont know that I am doing it. Read my post here http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13834 . Thats about it.
