I'm not sure if this has been posted and I can't find it so...

I'm curious as to what everybodys reasons for choosing the lucid rating ability that you decided for yourself. What are your qualifications for the level you put yourself at. I've noticed there are a lot of lucid knights, gurus, experts, and masters here and I'm wondering why you put yourself at that level. Plus if you put yourself at lucid god I really want to know what your qualifications are.

I concider myself a lucid expert for the following reasons...

I pretty much lucid dream everyday and it's getting to the point to where it's a rarity if I don't have at least one a day.
I can string lucid dreams together and keep consciousness so far for up to 2 hours of real time.
I'm advanced enough so that I don't often wake myself up from a LD from getting overly excited or scared or other things that could wake you up.
Normaly when a LD ends I'll go into SP with control and remain in it until I decide to project myself back into another LD or OBE.
I normally always go into SP when a LD ends before waking up.
I've had hundreds of LD's (I'm not sure of how many excactly because I haven't recorded all of them but I have over 150 recorded LD's.
I can meditate for decent amounts of time while lucid.
I can participate with dream characters and teach them to levitate and fly.
Have good conversations in LD's (though it's still hard to rememer a lot of dialoge still after waking)
I've had several W.I.L.D's and astral projections from the waking state.
I've learned to project form SP at will once getting to it.
I've learned to intentionally go into SP while in a LD and not wake up.
I have thousands of dreams recorded in a dream journal (not sure of how many excactly but that's something I should look into)
I've had lots of real life dreams or dream about something just before it happens

The reason why I don't concider myself at a higher ability...

Becuase I've only been into LD'ing for about 7 years and only 3 of those years I have been really into it (I've been really into LD/OBE'ing since last August and am at the highest level since I fist started)Like most things it takes tears to really get good at something. Everytime you think you're good you get better and realize that you weren't even as good as you had thought. I would have to say that I beleive the main reason I don't put myself at a higher level is because I haven't even put 10 years into yet and I know I'll always get better.
Once I can start really manipulating my dreamscape I will consider myself at a higher level.
I can fly well but still have problems with control.
I still can't LD at will, as in go into a LD as soon as I fall to sleep whenever I want.
I still have problems with W.I.L.D'ing and need more work with this.
I'm sure there's more but I can't think of anything else.

The reasons I didn't put myself at a lower level...

I lucid dream almost everyday is the only reason I don't put myself any lower. I could be a lucid scholor but this reason and being able to string together really long LD's is what I believe puts me at a lucid expert.

I hope everybody responds to this post. I would like to know where everybody is at so I can tell where you're coming from better.
