Dream Views has definately helped me. First induced LD was from using a Castenada technique - finding your hands in a dream - this happened MANY years ago. I joined DreamViews about 10 days ago, read about the RC technique of trying to breathe throught pinched nose and BAM!, that night had a kick-ass Lucid! First one in quite a while.
Engaging in this forum keeps one's mind on Dreaming - that's its greatest value for me.
