I remember an article from a magazine (mid '90s) explaining lucid dreaming, and it really got me excited. Back then I was not very old/mature, and didn't put any effort into the methods of attaining the ability. After that I've had at least two clear lucid dreams (one where i flew - it was awesome). After doing some quick research on sleep paralysis (my left arm is often paralysed when i wake up), I stumbled into the term "lucid dreams" yesterday (I'm Norwegian, thus unaware of the correct term).
Now I've read through www.lucidity.com and dreamviews and I'm ready to start recalling my dreams. I believe I'm able to do this, since - after visiting these sites - I've verified my dream signs. The most frequent ones I get are:

- Reading a book, and becoming aware that it is I who is writing the book on the fly. After a sentence or two, I have difficulties coming up with more words, and I always wake up.

- Not being able to run. Somehow I thought this was for real, possibly remembering trying to run underwater (which is how it feels). But since I've never tried running under water, and seeing that it is a common dream-sign, I am now convinced that it was a dream.

Thanks for a great website!
