DreamViews Buddy Program - Buddy Search Thread

[Snocrash]

Hi. I've been practicing lucid dreaming on and off for about 20 years now. I like the idea of having a dream buddy to bounce ideas off of and someone who would be interested in doing experiments. Some things I'd like to try is seeing if we can affect things in real life, meeting up in a shared dream, visiting exotic locations and just comparing notes on the things we find. I'm up for anything really, just looking for an adventurous spirit or some crazy ideas to try Your average lucidity rate Right now, none. I haven't made it a priority in recent years, but I'd like to get back into things. In the past, my lucidity takes a couple weeks to ramp up, and then I'll have them nearly every day for a few weeks. Eventually they die down, and I'll have to repeat the cycle, but I am hoping that by partnering up with someone the streaks will last longer. What got you interested in lucid dreaming I had a fascinating, out of body, experience in my younger years, and this lead me to research what happened. I came across lucid dreaming and become interested in that, as well as other esoteric things. I was also reading The Art of Dreaming around the same time. Some of your current dream goals I want to go beyond the usual flying/sex/battle dreams most people do and take a more "scientific" approach. I'd like to document what's possible, and see if we can discover something new together.

Hello everybody, I’ve finally decided to make this post. I am new to posting on the forum but have been a frequent visitor for quite some time now. I am interested in finding a lucid dreaming buddy who is familiar with the Mild technique, preferably someone who has had 50-100 or more lucid dreams. I’m not opposed to a beginner or an expert but we will see where this goes! Lucidity rate I’ve had 5 lucid dreams in 2019. 4 of those were low level where I couldn’t see or do much or have woken up immediately. I had a very vivid lucid dream one night when I tried an astral projection attempt but failed then went to sleep and became lucid and it was honestly so incredible! That experience motivates me to stick with the practice. I’ve been interested in astral projection but after my lucid dream experience I’ve been pursuing that. I’ve tried lucid dreaming in past but never stuck with it. Just recently I’ve been reading about habits and how they shape our lives and help achieve goals, and it’s given me a new motivation to instill the proper lucid dreaming habits (ada, rc’s, dream journal and recall, prospective memory, visualization, meditation, affirmations etc...) I’ve been in my current lucid dream routine for a month now with only 1 lucid dream but I stuck it out and it’s only getting easier to do my routine, hopefully a buddy will help me to get the next level. My lucid dreaming goals are find a buddy, continue my routine for another month, achieve a vivid lucid dream and stabilize it, test out flying and moving around in a dream without waking up. Some back ground info about me I’m 24 years old, married with 2 kids, I live in Florida and I’m a painter/remodeler. Any other questions just ask!

Hi, I’m 3 months into lucid dreaming. I had a DILD 1 month in. Nothing since then. However I’ve had many mini victories, I’m Gradually exploring and getting the feel of different aspects of my dreams. I want to get to the state where I’m having a few Lucids a week. I’ve always thought LDing was cool but never knew it was a learned skill. I had always assumed it was a natural ability so when my Buddhist teacher took me through some dream yoga and recommended the book” dreams of Awakening” I was hooked. When I next get Lucid. I want to: • ask the dream world to help me become lucid quicker in the future. • talk to a dream character. • go flying again. • walk through a wall. Long term: •I want to use the dream world to explore the full capability of my imagination/mind and reality. • I’m a Buddhist so I want to expand my spiritual practice. • I want to have fun and understand the nature of how my mind works. •I’m interested in dream telepathy experiments. • hoping to meet the consciousness behind the dream. Please feel free to PM me. I look forward to to sharing ideas and experiences.

I am a Buddhist trying to expand my spirituality and understanding of my conciousness! I'm also an artist/ work in the film industry, a biggg nerd (think Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering) and very into the outdoors and travelling! Those are just some of the highlights, cause I have about a million interests and hobbies in addition to those. I've had about 6 LDs on 3 occasions since quarantine started, and three of those actually happened last night. I do take a lot of supplements and try to use herbs and foods to improve my ability to lucid dream. I do a LOT of research on a LOT of topics (like chakras, dream yoga, science of dreaming, neuroscience, etc) so when I try new methods I like to be pretty methodical about recording my experiences to find what works best! I used to smoke pot on a daily basis for a long time (several years) and quit SPECIFICALLY to improve my dream recall and vividness. If that tells you how dedicated I am to Lucid Dreaming. My long term goals are to have access to my subconcious to hopefully be able to heal past emtional wounds, and improve my waking life through this. I also want to be able to travel and have fun in my dreams. I hope to have at least one LD a week, if not one a night within a year or two. If you think we'd make good dream buddies, HMU!

Hi everyone! Lookin for a buddy here. My LD rate has been about one a week up until last week, when I had 2. So I'm gettin there! My dream goals are trying to stay in my dream for more than 10 minutes and to summon a person of choice. And of course to bring up my LD rate per week. I love talking about people's techniques and dreams so I would love to find a buddy! I know for a fact that talking with someone about your dreams immediately increases your chances of being lucid, cause of memory and motivation and all that good stuff. So please let me know if you're interested

Hi KatBee! I feel like we'd be pretty good dream buddies. I also LOVE dungeons and dragons and am super interested in communicating with my subconscious. I put a description post on this thread so u can check that out for more info about me. But yea, let me know if you're interested, I'd love to bounce some ideas and thoughts off a similarly minded person!

[chipfunk89]

Hey all, I'm a beginner lucid dreamer and I'd love a lucid dreaming buddy to bounce ideas off of and to keep each other motivated (and to just chat about LD with). Average LDing rate is about once every two weeks, as I've only been at it for about 1.5 months. My current goal is just to work towards one lucid dream per night, hopefully by the end of the year, with as much vividness as possible. Aside from that, I'm an art student (worked as a software engineer for 5 years and quit to pursue a career in concept art... crazy I know). 30 years old, male, currently living on the east coast of the US. Anyway shoot me a DM or just reply here if you feel we'd be good dreaming buddies .

Hey There! My name is luke, im 15 years old and into lucid dreaming. i got into lucid dreaming after having a dream, where i was in a supermarket, realized i was dreaming, and started flying. my average lucidity rate isnt that high at the moment. i hope that in the late future, i can have some successful lucid dreams. my hobbies outside of lucid dreaming are video games and cooking! i hope we can talk soon!

I've been away.... I was getting pretty good a lucid dreaming and getting in a lot of lucid dreaming stuff. I had a podcast, I was doing a few experiments with budding scientists in sleep labs, meeting new people. Something happened. Lots of things happened. Life. Anyway, I'm trying to get my excitement for it back. I have a lot of things going at once so it gets easy to forget. I guess I'm looking for someone to message me about lucid dreaming. Just saying "Hey do a RC" or "This is what I dreamed. What did you dream" I'm trying to get back into mindfulness and meditation but I forget haha. I've lost contact with several people that helped me in that area so I'm looking for more. I met all of them here but they don't seem to be around anymore. This is always an area that its hard to find people that are truly interested and care about it or even know about it. I can't go around preaching about lucid dreaming at work all the time. I do tell people about lucid dreams I have once in awhile but they just kind of go "hmm" and say nothing else about it. Part of the solution is to be more active on here but after awhile there's just a lot of repeat. I don't need to know how to lucid dream nor am I interested in finding a new tech. I'm just searching for motivation. By the way I'm probably much older than most of you. I'm 40 and my oldest is 18. I don't care what age someone is as long as we can have interesting convos about lucid dreaming but it will be more appropriate if you are a little older. I've been around DV for a long long time so if you want to know more about me I'm sure you can look at some of my posts from when I was more active on here.
