You're not a dork; I felt the same way first time I looked in a mirror in an LD. I was SO amazed at the level of detail, and that I looked just like I had gotten out of bed, too. I was wearing the same clothes and my hair was all messed up . When I laughed with joy at my success (this was just my second LD ever) I noticed every tooth was exactly like it is in real life.

I've seen myself in mirrors several times since then, and never once has it come close to being a nightmare experience. I think that would only happen if you expect to see something horrible in it. Expect it to just be a mirror and that's what it will be. I've even used mirrors to assist in shapeshifting, so I know I'm getting things how I want them to be, and I didn't transform into monster that tried to eat me or something.

Ya, that makes a lot of sense, Im going to shape shift into a nude female with DD's, and just stare at myself lol.. jk.. shapeshifting sounds cool though, I may give that a shot when I get a little further.. im still getting my technique down.. but so far, 7 LD's in just a few weeks isnt bad lol

7 LD's in a few weeks? Most noobs would KILL to have that many.

I was pretty well off during the start...but you don't want to hear my story .

Well, I will tell you if you want to know...but sometimes I feel as though I'm bragging when I tell the story (not that it's that long). And as though no one cares...

Well...I just had my first one 3 years ago, then started to get them last year about in March...Had a good "small handful" of them, then I got into the dream dictionary online, and looked up LDing (once I learned the word). DV a bit later the Beginning of April (my one year DV aniversary is Saturday), and I got more easily, and knew lots of things already, considering I was a noob . My discussions were pretty "informed" like yours seem to be .

Now, you know why .
