**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 11-03-2008 10:13 PM

For me, it was the "Human BOdy" documentiries on Discovery. What about you?

I am sure this has been asked before...

**eppy** · 11-03-2008 11:53 PM

i was just looking online about dreams and i came upon this site.

**PSPSoldier534** · 11-04-2008 12:00 AM

While looking up Out-of-the-body experiences.

**venusflesh** · 11-04-2008 12:11 AM

You know, I don't remember exactly, but I'm PRETTY sure I found out about them from doing online research/reading about dreams, back around 1995 or 1996.

AE forums, OOC Room, someone talked about being concious during dreams and controling them, went to read and get to know what it was called, got the term and thats it. Just wanted to know how it was called whatever I was doing for so long lol

Psych professor. :]

**John11** · 11-04-2008 12:41 AM

I first heard the term from the movie Vanilla Sky.

Bit of all them really, i was reading about AP (Astral Projection) AKA OBE (Outer body experiences) And i was also looking into a dream i had which led me to the AP website which lead me to the OBE websites which i then somehow started looking here, signed up, was impressed and nejoyed lucid dreaming since!, but also urmmm cant remember what i was gonna say lol

I was looking at the entry on sleep at Wikipedia, and on the way clicked on dreams when I realized quite suddenly that I hadn't remembered my dreams in years. From the entry on dreams, I followed the link to the main article on Lucid dreaming after becoming curious at the short summary.

**simo** · 11-04-2008 02:30 AM

Somebody told me about astral projection so I typed it in google and it eventually lead to this.

**ZmillA** · 11-04-2008 02:59 AM

watched waking life, searched for lucid dreams on google and ended up here

When I saw the main dreamviews site and the slogan "Staying up all night", I knew I was home <3

**Shift** · 11-04-2008 05:15 AM

I had a lucid dream and was like HOLY CRAP!!!!

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 11-04-2008 05:36 AM

I had a few lucid dreams before I knew what they were, but I didn't know they could be controlled untill I watched that special. And God bless that special.

I knew it could be controlled the moment I realized what it was. I just didn't know the name

I have tried to find this elusive special, but then I realized... didn't you post it once upon a time?

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 11-04-2008 05:47 AM

I just may have. I'll try to find it...

I've been having LDs since I was a kid. But it never occured to me that they were anything special. It also didn't occur to me to try to control them. Until I saw a clip on them on the SciFi channel.

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 11-04-2008 08:46 AM

Oh, I wouldn't mind seing that video clip! Please post!

**RoachamusPrime** · 11-04-2008 12:16 PM

I learned about LDing from a friend while i was explaining to him a dream I had the night before. After talking to him i started to do research about it online and ended up at this site which was very helpful.

**Goldy** · 11-05-2008 04:50 AM

I first heard about Lucid Dreaming when I was just watching Youtube videos at random and I came across this video somehow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c21d-aJHyzc I think I was looking up those crazy LSD effect videos. By the way, does anyone know if this actually works? I never really went back to the video after I read up on Lucid Dreaming.

**frostyelf** · 11-05-2008 05:16 AM

I was reading How Dreams work on How Stuff Works. It sounded pretty cool, so I clicked on a link it gave which I think was this site.

**Licity** · 11-05-2008 08:25 AM

There was an article about lucid dreaming in Reader's Digest a few years ago. I read it, searched the web, and ended up at Dream Views.

**cmallon135** · 11-05-2008 08:51 AM

I had one

. I found it interesting so I googled it and it brought me here

**moonshine** · 11-05-2008 02:14 PM

Discovered them on my own.
Eventually read a psychology text which had a short chapter on the same.
It refered to Laberge, so I bought his book.

**Placebo** · 11-05-2008 03:27 PM

Well, from doing it as a kid
But I took it for granted.. only found out about the term much later. I think I saw it in an old text document I found lying around on a friend's PC

I was reading about dreams on Wikipedia and found these things called 'lucid dreams'. Then got interested in them.
