Thread: How did this come about?

Hey,

A bit of both actually. When I was quite young I had a couple night mares where I decided I was asleep and could not be harmed. I had no idea what it was called and didn't think much of it, I was seven or eight after all. I also figured it was not anything you can sort of "make" happen. I then heard of lucid dreaming about a year or two ago when discussing something completly off topic with a friend. They told me what it was and I still was not too concerned about it. then over this last summer the bug hit me and I began to read anything I could on the subject.

Yes, to both. When I was young I would have these unusual dreams that no one could fingure what I meant. I forgot about it after a while and just went about my life. Then one day a co-worker brought "Lucid Dreaming" to work and started talking about it. It was like a revelation. Now I know what those dreams were.

If you want a discussion on the chicken and the egg? I say the egg. That is where the dna change takes place.

Sort of both. I remember one Lucid Dream before hearing about them. When I realized it was a dream, I tried opening my eyes in real life and it worked and they spazzed out and stuff like that. Then I told the people in my dream that it was a dream and that if they tried really hard, they could open their real eyes too (even though they were DCs. I thought they were dreaming too and were real or something lol.). It wasn't a very high lucidity LD, even though it is one of the main dreams I remember still today. I think much of it. Maybe only for a couple of days. Then, about two years later, I'm on the Warp Pipe Technologies forums which I used to go to a lot. Somebody started a "Dreams" thread. I go in there and one of the members links me here. I read the main site introduction thing, wide-eye, and became obsessed. Got my first real LD a month or two later and my second one this a short time ago.
