      How did you find out about LD?

      Hello everyone,
      I am curious how everyone here found about LD. Funny enough, mine started approximately 3 years after watching the final xmen movie and thinking how cool it would be to have some of their powers, telekinesis was my primary motive. After googling for that and reading countless articles, I stumbled onto OBEs, astral projection, lucid dreams and all of the other phenomenons. Never got around to trying LD back then, but, going to and have started this time around What's your story?

      I came across lucid dreaming last summer. I was looking up dream interpretations online and stumbled upon an article about lucid dreams.

      In '99 I downloaded a .mod file called "The Astral Plane". I was curious as to what it meant so looked it up on altavista and learnt about oobies and LDs. It scared the crap out of me but in the intervening 10 years I grew a pair, so when I caught a news item about the Novadreamer about a year ago (slow news day!) I decided to give it a go.

      Interesting and I thought I've known about it for long and never tried it

      In October 2008 I randomly remembered hearing about being able to know that you're dreaming while you're dreaming, only I couldn't remember what it was called. I knew it started with lu... and was a short word, so I googled "lunic dreaming" and I guess it either corrected me or I found an article that gave me the right word. xD

      lol, that sound pretty funny, the lunic part, but, sounds reasonable. Do you remember where you heard about it, so, more details?

      Lol, yeah. But it worked. And no, I have no clue where I initially heard about it. It was probably awhile ago, and not in much detail. Maybe someone mentioned it in passing.

      You can't spell slaughter without Laughter.

      A LD is like being god. You can create anything and make anything happen.

      Interesting, seems like you got the core of lucid dreaming down with the "choose what u dream about".

      lol, that's a first. What were the responses on the WOW forums when someone mentioned it?

      I never went to the 4chan website, but, did they just mention it or did they go in details?

      Must have been rough, practicing something without being knowledgable about it

      Well, it was simply mentioned as asking for some tips on dream control. So, when people started talking about flying and etc. my interest was intrigued

      around 5 years back when I was at still at school my computer class teacher showed everyone print outs of news about the nova dreamer and I thought it was amazing and wanted to get it but for some reason didn't. Then this year my flat had electrical problems and I was without electricity for a week so got a chance to go to bed early and read books about Buddhism and stuff, and one of those nights I was sitting in my room and looked at my hand and it was all messed up yet somehow I instantly knew what that meant even though I read about dreamsigns so many years ago somehow I was 100% sure and jubilant that I was dreaming and went on to have a great LD.
      TAKE DV members advice with caution! some have had zero or 1-2 LD's yet act like gurus
      TOTAL LD's (almost all DILD/MILD) =160!!

      I found out about LD's during a WikiWar. I was curious, so I looked up Lucid Dreaming on Google, found a medical report showing a study on WBTB, and after another search, I found DV. I lurked around for about a month, and I decided to join soon after I returned from Miami after the Orange Bowl. (biggest decision I had to make was what I was going to have for my Username)

      Sometimes I wonder if anyone has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

      A 'natural'!?

      I started LD maybe 5/6 years + back, when i was in year 9 or something, i was quite young.

      I had been experiencing it for a while before i asked my mum "now, this may seem weird, but have you ever been dreaming and then realised that you were dreaming - so you could do anything you wanted?" hehe - she had done Pyschology at uni & told me it was called 'Lucid Dreaming'. I didnt even know what i was doing was LD until then, coz no-one i knew could do it.

      My first encounter, was a dream i was having when i must have jst figured something was odd, so within it i remembered the concept/cliche of people pinching themselves when they think they are dreaming. So i did, and it didnt hurt, so i jst knew...ever since then i used that as my varification technique when i thought i was dreaming. I dont need it anymore coz i jst know - plus my dreaming reality was getting so 'real' that i started being able to feel the sensation of my pinch...which started to freak me out.
