Why did you start lucid dreaming? Accidental or on pupose?

I first learned about lucid dreaming from a Carlos Castaneda book in the early 1980's. At the time, I didn't think a whole lot about it and wondered why anyone would bother to spend the time learning. I was also a little unsure if it was such a good idea anyway, I mean Carlos Castaneda? His stuff was little out there. I had my first lucid dream in 1991 by accident and thought it was pretty cool. It wasn;t until around 2000 though that I became serious about it.


Can you tell us what happens in these dreams?

In my lucid dreams, I do a number of things. First and foremost, I love to fly and will usually try to get in some fly-time in any LD I have. I also have a set of tasks I want to accomplish. These are usually supernatural tasks such as manipulation of time, space, and energy. When I get the chance, I like to talk to dream characters, they say some of the most bizarre things.


What lucid dreaming is to you?

Lucid Dreaming is a way of life for me. When I awaken in the morning, I will either sit and remember a lucid dream from the night before or will identify dream signs I missed that should have triggered lucidity. I will think of it often during the day. While falling asleep at night, I will practice MILD and reaffirm in my mind the things I want to get done that night if I become lucid.
