Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to post this up as I've been thinking about it all day as I had one of the best Lucid Dreams I've ever had last night!

I'm the sort of person that has come to the conclusion through my life so far that if it sounds to good to be true, it nearly always is!
I've found that to be the case with almost everything, then I found Lucid Dreaming!
LDing doesn't only sound to good to be true, it sounds so good, most people that hear about it don't even believe it exists!

I'd had a few Lucid's before I knew what they were when I was a kid and always remembered them, so when I first heard about LDing a couple of years ago I knew they were a real phenomenon right away.
However, being a long time since my last Lucid I had only a little idea what to expect.
I knew you could know "I'm Dreaming" but couldn't remember how much detail or control you could expect.
I remember reading on this forum the first day I joined about someone having a Lucid and picking up a stone, looking at it up close and describing the fine details they could see, like all the pits and cracks and that made me wonder if you could really get such fine details.

After a few days when I had my first Lucid I was in a desert and just knew I was Dreaming as the Dream formed around me and right away was blown away!
I remembered reading about the stone so picked up a handful of sand, held it close to my face and was totally amazed at the fine detail, seeing every single grain!
After that I was completly hooked and knew I would be doing this the rest of my life!

The truly mad thing is that most people don't even know that this experience exists!
I find that so hard to believe and even when told, people are usually totally uninterested.
Who wouldn't want to be able to do the impossible with no fear of death or injury? All in complete realism, with all senses intact and all while you'ld normally be doing nothing but sleeping!
I've even read posts on the net where people say "oh I've had those, I just wake myself up and go back to sleep!" Why would anybody do that? I know everybody's different but I can't see how anyone could have a good quality Lucid and not with a passion want to explore this internal World.

To me it just doesn't make sense that something so awesome, and I use that in the literal sense, is so neglected and unknown!
After 2 years I look forward to every nights Lucid with as much excitement and anticipation as my very first!
Actually even more so because of having more control and longer Lucid's.
I know I'll feel the same after 10 years having them also.

Anyone just starting out Lucid Dreaming, keep with it!!
It will be so much more than worth it when you start having them, even one good quality Lucid can leave an impact on your life you'll never forget!


Quite a long post that has probably already been said in some way or another somewhere along the line, but I just wanted to write down what I was thinking today.

Thanks for reading.
