DreamViews Buddy Program - Buddy Search Thread

[spellbee2]

Greetings! Your friendly neighborhood spellbee here. First I wanted to thank everyone who made the Buddy Program a success. It’s hard to believe it’s been going fairly strong for over a year, and from what I’ve heard, it’s been incredibly helpful for a lot of members. Unfortunately, as many of you have no doubt noticed, I have been suuuuuper late on posting the buddies the past few months. And thanks to my new full time job, I can kinda foresee that it’ll potentially be getting later and later each month (to the point where I’ll be putting up July’s buddies in November). I apologize greatly to anyone I have inconvenienced with my tardiness, but the way the Buddy Program is now, there’s just a lot of overhead and time-consuming stuff to make sure each month’s buddies get done right. So I’m hoping to remedy that with a little bit of a format change. Here’s how it works. First things first, if you’re looking for a buddy, make a post in this thread. Put a little bit about yourself, like: - Average lucidity rate - What got you interested in lucid dreaming - Some of your current dream goals - Any other info you think might be interesting for people to know about you After posting your info, if you see someone that’s already posted that you would like to be buddies with, send them a PM (click on their username, and then click Private Message) saying you want to be their buddy. Or, you can wait for someone PM you (though I’d advise making the first move if you don’t hear anything back after a few days). If you a receive a PM from a potential buddy and you accept, congratulations! You now have a buddy! The two of you can share recent dreams, current lucidity methods, etc. You can have more than one buddy if you would like, but if you are satisfied with your buddy and don’t want to receive any more PMs about your post, send me a PM with a link to the post you would like to remove, and I can delete it for you. This method is fairly experimental, so there might be a few changes over the next few weeks/months. There’s also a chance it might be a complete flop and we’ll just go back to the old method. But ultimately I think this will work pretty well, because: Quicker turnaround time. Instead of applying and then waiting 2 weeks (or more) for the new buddies, this process will be pretty much instant – as soon as you hear a response, you can start doing your buddy stuff. Unlike the previous method, brand new members are welcome. The old one-month minimum was to prevent problem arising from some new members using the forums for a day or two, and then disappearing forever, leaving their buddies all forgotten, cold and alone. But I don’t foresee that happening, mainly because of the quicker turnaround time I just mentioned. Less work for me, which I am the most thrilled about. Just being honest. So yeah, that’s what’s goin’ on. If you’re interested, feel free to post here.

I've already got my Buddy MadMonkey!

[Shabby]

Alright, let's try! Hi there, folks! I'm Shabby. I'm 18 years old and currently live in the UK. I am very passionate about arts and creativity and am therefore also currently attending art school. Dreams and stories are huge inspirations to me, and that's the main reason I attempt lucid dreaming. The reason I got into it was seeing the movie Inception, which has become my favorite movie ever. My lucidity rate is not very high at the moment, since I've been working my way back into this after starting school, etc. I am actively working on increasing it, though, and am seeing some good progress. I'm hoping to break my current dry spell very soon. I'm looking for a dream buddy with similar creative-y interests. I personally think it'd be easiest to communicate through Skype or Discord or something similar. I'm stoked, I think having a dream buddy is going to help greatly!

[dreamingaze]

This is working out great! TheAnachronist and I are buddies now, and it's been incredibly helpful. We both broke our dry spells in the first week. I have discovered a whole new level of motivation by sharing with another dreamer.

[Nebulus]

Elainey and me have been buddies for a couple of months at least now

[Elaineylane]

I highly recommend finding a person who "gets you" but who also brings a different aspect to the relationship for a broad range of topics. The Buddy Program has helped us a whole lot. So I'd say yes I definitely agree Nebulus & I are official buddies in the Buddy Program.

[OneironautQsHg]

Hey I'm new to DreamViews I have had around 5 lucid dreams so far and more to come hopefully. I saw the movie Inception last summer and I instantly wanted to lucid dream. Although I didn't fully commit till summer started this year. I think finding another oneironaut (dreamer) to talk to would keep my interest peaked because I haven't got much support from family and friends alike. Hope to talk to someone soon✌️

[Eonnn]

Hey SpellBee your linky not worky, you still running this? Any dreamers from Perth, WA feel free to hit me up.

[Stintman]

I want to buddy up with someone. Iv'e been in the LD game for 10 years and my dreams are starting to pick up in quality.

[KatBobo]

Hi there! I'm looking for a buddy to learn with I've just started learning, i'm still working on my recall. Some of my top goals are to visit Ancient Rome, fly, transform, and go into some books/movie worlds I like!

[MagicChicken]

Hi, Im new to lucid dreaming (1 month) and I think a buddy would help motivate me and keep me focused on LDing. I have had 4 LDs, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes long. Some of my interests are psychology, art, extreme sports, and sleep. Im also from the US. Some of my goals for LDing is to enter a mirror world, live the movie inception, fly into space, and have a conversation with my subconscious. All of my LDs have been DILDs so far, but im working on WILDing (unsuccessfully). Also, I want a buddy who is able to keep in touch with me a few times a week and is serious about LDing.

[moms6sweeties]

Hello, Not completely new to lucid dreaming, but still haven't had a lucid dream yet. Started 2 years ago then had to take a break because of a family situation & I couldn't devote enough time to it. Started again recently & have had a few dreams where I asked myself if I was dreaming & had a FA. When I started a few years ago, I had some dreams when I did a reality check & it definitely proved it wasn't reality, but still didn't become lucid. I'm having difficulty connecting dream signs & reality checks to lucidity. I'm not sure how to make that connection. I don't remember how I found out about LD, but I've always been fascinated by how the mind works (studied psychology in college because of this). I guess I'm getting frustrated now because recently when I did a reality check, my brother who was visiting asked what I was doing. When I told him, he looked at me like I was crazy, but after talking about it in more depth, he told me he knows he's dreaming a lot of times. I got really upset because he didn't even know what LD is & doesn't study it like I have been & he can have LDs just like that! I think I keep that in my head & I've been getting discouraged every morning when I wake up & haven't had a LD. Right now my goal is just to be able to have one ��

[Sojatofu]

Hi everyone, the buddy concept sounds very interesting, so I hope that I'll find one I have been doing a lot of LD practice 3-4 years ago and achieved quite a high success rate. Also my dream journal from that time contains 2-3 dreams per night. Then professional and private life got in the way of further practice and now my if I'm lucky my journal has one entry per week... So I'm trying to get back in the game, since I also remember that in my waking life I was much more balanced during my intense LD time. I live in Austria and guess it might be good to find someone within roughly the same time zone.

[melissajuice]

Hey there, I'm looking for a DV buddy. Here's a bit about myself! Average lucidity rate As of right now like... 2 to 3 lucids a week (if something isn't messing up my sleep schedule ). I've had many LDs before. The "LD Count" on my profile here isn't meant to represent my total LDs ever... just since joining DV, because I hadn't ever really counted before. So I wouldn't consider myself a Beginner but I'm far from being Advanced. What got you interested in lucid dreaming I've had a lot of fun LDing as a child without knowing what it was. But it was very on and off, and not consistent. Now I'm working on making it more consistent and strengthening my technique, with all the information that's out there. I'm interested in getting good at LDing to learn more about my own psychology, resolve psychological issues, strengthen willpower, strengthen personal agency, unlock more creativity, and of course, have fun! Some of your current dream goals Resolve interpersonal conflicts with some DCs, work on mastering superpowers, work on having better dream control, meet and interact with cool DCs (celebrities, mostly kpop idols, and fictional characters), go to cool places, do ridiculous things, go to sick concerts and raves, secure my rightful position as God of my dreamworld... those are some of my current goals. Any other info you think might be interesting for people to know about you One time I dreamed I ate a whole stick of deodorant. Looking for an intermediate buddy with some similar goals so we can motivate and help each other out!

[Elaol]

Hello everyone, I am looking for beginner-to-intermediate lucid dreaming buddy. Here is a bit of info about me: -Average lucidity rate I don't have many lucid dreams, usually 2-3 a month, mostly spontaneous, although I hope that number will increase soon - What got you interested in lucid dreaming Definitely my love for epic fiction. When I started with LDing in high school, I was playing video games, and read books too, so I wanted to explore those worlds in my dreams. Later, when I got on Psychology studies, I thought of lucid dreaming as a means of personal growth as well. But still mostly for fun - Some of your current dream goals Right now I am experimenting with Gravity RC. You can see all my lucid goals in the signature - Any other info you think might be interesting for people to know about you Hmmmm, I already said I study psychology (getting my BA next month). Beside BA studies, I also go on psychotherapy education and body language course. Because of scientific interest in the topic of lucid dreaming, I basically read all the most important articles. And a lot of DV materials as well. I love books, I am huge fan on Wheel of time series. My hobbies are: lucid dreaming ( xD ), reading, going to the gym, etc. If you want to be my buddy, PM me

[Therome]

My name's Therome, and I'm an 18 year old high schooler looking for a fellow beginner LD buddy I would mainly like somebody to help keep me accountable so as to try and be consistent with my efforts, and hopefully I can do the same for them Also, just a person to discuss lucid dreaming with would be pretty awesome

[martakartus]

Hi everyone! So, I already have the experience of budding up with someone, but I would like to pair up with someone who lives in a close time zone (I live in Spain). About my average lucidity rate. I just recently broke my three-month long dry spell. This last year has been crazy busy and I took a break from lucid dreaming, although I kept having some spontaneous lucid dreams. I regained my practice when summer began, but I didn't have any lucid dreams during those three months. Since I broke my dry spell three weeks ago, I've had four lucid dreams. We'll see if I can keep up with this frequency from now on. I got into lucid dreaming because of a picture I saw on Fb over three years ago and I started doing my research, reading books, signing up here and getting my own dream journal started. As for my goals, I don't have a very specific set of goals right now, but I would like to find my dream guide and I would like to ask questions to the dream and see how it responds. So yeah, that's pretty much it. If anyone's interested (again, preferrably it would be someone from Europe or nearby), send me a PM

[Him]

Hi everyone, took a break from the forums but I'm back now! I've been LDing now for 10-12 years. I started LDing when I was 5-7 years old because of nightmares and I never forgot how to do it. In a 17yo male from Canada and was looking for a buddy because I lacked modivation. I can help any beginners, work with any intermediates or maybe learn something new. I have a LD every other day on weekdays but always have LDs on weekends that can span an hour. My current goal is to master WILD. My primary methods are DiLD and WBTB. Please pm me if you would like to pair up.

[Naze]

Well Hello I'm Naze I'm pretty new in the foro and I like the idea of have a buddy to get motivated and have somebody to talk about it c: -Average lucidity rate I have a few lucid dreams as a kid but unfortunately I can count only two and don't even remember about what they were, I do remember the feeling . I have a FA a few week ago the day I join the foro haha but after that no to much luck :c - What got you interested in lucid dreaming Well I'm that kind of person who expend lot of time thinking about everything, my mom always insist that I have to read a lot so I start to read as crazy as kid so my imagination was really important for me and I always want a place where I can create my stuff even my own world and that was when dreams get my attention as my mom always was talking about the mind and how we can do a lot of stuff. So I always have that curiosity but I never push myself enough. -Some of your current dream goals Well my top goal is have at least one lucid dream hahah but I think I will like to go to at least 3 dreams at week after that I don't have a clue :/ Any other info you think might be interesting for people to know about you Mmm... I'm from Argentina living currently in Dublin, I abandon everything to travel, read, listen music and explore the world, I don't have any fancy study but I like to learn a lot and the same that everybody else trying to see what I can do with my life hahah So yeah pretty much that all I can think at the moment c: feel free to send me a PM and we can start so sweet Jolly cooperation!! PD: I'm really relax but I will like somebody who really is into so we can learn togethers-

[invisible]

Hello! I've been lucid dreaming for over 10 years. I have great dream recall but having some trouble getting lucid, mostly due to lack of motivation. I think having a buddy would be great for motivation and just having someone to learn from as well. I use to have a LD teacher and just talking to him would get me lucid. I love everything dream related and would love to help out a fellow dreamer.

[Nightvixen]

Hello guys and girls! I'm looking for a dreambuddy so we can inspire each other and help with motivation and stuff. I had lots of LD s about 10 years ago when I was doing LaBerges course but it kinda fade out after 6 months. Now I'm back on the LD track and feeling superinspired! I love lucid dreaming!! I have different resons for this, mostlly spiritual ( I am a really spiritual person into New Age stuff and Ritual Magic) healing (I'm reiki master and know a lot about healiing, would be awesome to do it in an LD) And also the pure fun and excitement of being lucid thrills me! I wanna visit the Dream Academy and maybe even join the Dream Hero league. I'm also gonna sign up for the assignements of the month sounds like a great motivator I will also sign up for a class but not sure yet wich one. I am superdedicated and my goal is to have LD s every night! Sweet dreaming

[Pixelpaw]

Hi I am pixelpaw but you can call me pixel! I am Scottish (In the UK) and I am friendly,kind and understanding. I have yet to have a lucid dream so I am looking for a buddy I could get tips from. I found out about lucid dreaming from when my friend was telling me about shared dreams so I searched it up and came across lucid dreaming. PM me if you would like to be my buddy and I hope we can chat!

[zombunny]

Average lucidity rate I started lucid dreaming 9 years ago but I have just recently started to actively practice again and have had 7 LDs since October 31st, so I am having over 1/week. What got you interested in lucid dreaming I don't remember how I came upon lucid dreaming. I spent a lot of time on the Internet as a preteen and I thought lucid dreaming was a "dream come true", because I was always reading and fantasizing about everything like magic and dragons. I was a really shy kid so I think it was an escapism thing as well. Some of your current dream goals I decided to post in this thread after completing one of the Tasks of the Month, which makes me feel a little more confident. I think I'm just going to work on those tasks for now, and if I complete them all I'll look for stuff to do in the past months. It's a little late for the Task of the Year but I'll be working on the next one when it begins. Would love to have a buddy who is also doing the tasks so we can work on them together! Any other info Nothing too interesting about me! I'm 21 and a nursing student. I work as a server at a popular chain restaurant. I like yoga, hiking and vegetarian cooking (not that I'm very good at any of the above). I guess I would like to have a buddy around my age but other than that I don't care about time zone or anything, I'm sure we will find time to communicate. I'll go through this thread after work and look for some folks to PM, but in the meantime feel free to contact me!

[Springlock]

AVG. lucidity rate I've only had one lucid dream so far and it was in late august or maybe September. It only lasted 10 seconds because I woke up. What got me interested I read an article online and it said I could escape everyday stress Being me suffering from bullying online and in reality I was like "this is my chance to escape!" Current goals To have multiple dreams a week, like the user posted above me (zombunny) via WILD since the only lucid dream I've had was via WILD. (It was during a nap and I didn't even try? It seems when I try nothing happens and when I don't try nothing happens so that was luck!) A bit about me I'm 13, and I like video games. I'm a proud Canadian! I love animals and survival, hunting, and fishing. I suffer from anxiety and, like Albert Einstein, aspergers. I love biology, and space. And FNaF and Star Wars. I read discover magazines and watch Cosmos - a spacetime odyssey. I like documentaries. A lot of people scorn me for my age but I am more mature than I seem. I have the mind of a college student. I used to be outgoing, but because of bullying, I'm shy and I don't talk to people often in real life. Online is my escape. And... I guess I want a buddy who is 13-16? Though I havnt seenanyone around the age on this post...

[d4oor]

I was interested in lucid dreaming because my friend told me about it and I tried it because it was a way for my to control what I do and what happens around me My lucidity rate is 25% ive tried 4 times and only succeeded once My main goal: Have multiple LD's a week and to better control my LD's I'm 14 I like Netflix and xbox I have ADHD so I have to take Adderall I am not usually very social I like science, evolution is the only thing I like though I'm good at spelling
