Sign Up Thread for Intro Class

[OpheliaBlue]

Let's get to know eachother! I'm OpheliaBlue, and I've been a lucid dreamer for 30 years. I started out by accident, with the DILD technique, which basically means that I randomly realized I was dreaming halfway through the dream. Years later, I figured out that I could reenter and finish a dream after waking up, even to the point of controlling and directing the dream. Finally I googled "dream control" and dreamviews.com was at the top of the list. That was almost 8 years ago, and since then I have learned to amplify what I already knew about lucid dreaming, and use this knowledge to wield better and more frequent lucid dreams. If you're interested in learning about lucid dreaming basics, just give us a shout by replying to this thread. We look forward to working with each and every one of you, in hopes to further explore the ever vast universe that is lucid dreaming.

[Harelori]

Hey Ophelia, I'm intrested in learning about the lucid dreaming basics, I'm also looking forward to be your student It'll be a pleasure to learn from a elder in this forum like you. Well, here's a little information about me, so you'll get to know a little part of me (In my workbook I'll be more detaild): my name's Harel, I've been training in gymnastics the last couple of years and I'm turning 15 this month! I like science,I always did,even when I was a little kid I wanted to be a scientist! I'm quite intrested in dreaming the last few months, I really admire it and you for learning how to lucid, and how you use it wisely! I watch anime, some may think its childish but I'm not that old, I find it interesting,I had a few anime involved dreams (not LDs, normal dreams) and it was really amazing. I'd like to control the 4 elements (water,earth,air,fire) in one of my many LDs in my future Here's a few questions for you: have you ever tried re-experiencing a class you took? go back in time (in a LD) and re-do the class and be able to learn while you're a sleep? I'm looking forward to your class! and should I open a Workbook right now? Cheers, Harelori

[collapse]

Hi, I'd like to sign up for the class I've been interested in lucid dreaming for a loong time - I think I first read about it in middle school? - but I never had the discipline to make it happen. I thought maybe an organized course like this would help me stick to it.

[OpheliaBlue]

Hey Harelori and collapse, thanks for your interest in the class! To answer your question Harelori, you of course may go ahead and start a workbook and a journal. I still need to get with my apprentices about how exactly the homework is going to be done. Some more assignments are going to be added, and won't be ready until monday. But feel free to get a head start!

[spacebaba]

Hey Ophelia, I would love to be a part of the intro class this time around. I just got a voice recorder so expect detailed dream reports and updates!

[RareCola]

Hey all, I'm RareCola and one of your apprentices for this class. I started my lucid dreaming journey about a month ago, at the end of April / beginning of May. So far I've had 5 lucid dreams with a mix of DILDs and DEILDs and have educated myself as much as possible in every induction method, technique and piece of information I could get my hands on. I still have a lot to learn but I believe I can help inspire and motivate as well as share the knowledge and advice I've gathered with anyone who seeks help. If you'd like to PM me with any questions, feel free, that's what I'm here for. Can't wait to get started on this class and I welcome everybody that's signing up

[OpheliaBlue]

Hey Ophelia, I would love to be a part of the intro class this time around. I just got a voice recorder so expect detailed dream reports and updates! I expect full reports sir! But seriously, good to have you in the class again baba

[Mydera]

Hey everyone! Nice to see familiar faces again and meet Harelori and Collapse! I'm Mydera, and I'm going to take the class again to keep lucid dreams fresh on my mind and hopefully increase the number of them I get I have had more than ten lucid dreams, probably more than fifteen but I don't really keep count as I still feel like I'm not accomplishing much in them yet. I've been trying to lucid dream for over a year though, and I usually only have two or three a month... so most of those lucids have been in the last six months. I watch anime, some may think its childish but I'm not that old, I find it interesting,I had a few anime involved dreams (not LDs, normal dreams) and it was really amazing. I don't think anime is Childish. I'm ten years your senior and still love it. It also makes for some awesome dreams when anime characters and moves slip into your dreams, and I'm finding they make pretty good dream signs and chances to reality check. I <3 your signature, Crow is awesome ^_^ Hey all, I'm RareCola and one of your apprentices for this class. Congrats Cola! :bravo: That's amazing you've had 5 in about a months time! I'm looking forwards to learning from you! Thanks Ophelia for allowing us to repeat the class if we'd like. I had more lucids during this class than without it, and I really enjoyed the chat lessons. Your an awesome teacher

[Chrysalis]

Hi! I'm interested in signing up for this class! I've known about lucid dreaming for a long time (I even became lucid in a dream that I had a few months ago, even though I hadn't thought about LDing for a month), but I'd like to know more about the subject. A quick question: if I have to join the #DVA chatroom at some point, where is it? Is it on DreamViews or do I have to go somewhere else/download a program? I'm really looking forward to joining this class!

[OpheliaBlue]

if I have to join the #DVA chatroom at some point, where is it? Is it on DreamViews or do I have to go somewhere else/download a program? Welcome to DVA Chrysalis! I would recommend downloading an irc client. PM me if you (or anyone) would like further instructions on this.

[TheElusiveHobo]

Hey there. I got interested in lucid dreaming about a month and a half ago, but haven't had any yet. I'm looking forward to working with you guys!

[RommiH]

I want to join too! I'd love to be part of the class. But I dont get how this works..

[RareCola]

Welcome all! I'm glad this class is looking as popular as the last one

[lateef523]

Hey! Again! I'm very interested in taking this class. Last time I showed up a bit late to the other class, so I'm happy there's a new class starting!. A little about me: names lateef and I'm 20. I have always been fascinated with my dreams since I was a little kid. Never used a dream journal, but was always very good at recalling my dreams! About 2 months ago I start topics up a journal and record them. I wanted to find a site where people were as crazy about dreams as I am---that's when I stumbled apon lucid dreaming, and I found this cool site!. At first the though of lucid dreaming kind of frightened me, but then I thought of it as a way to get to no my sub conscious. so far I have had 3 very short lucid dreams! On accident. I am hoping to get better at it by the end of my dream filled summer!

[Komisoft]

Lunatic will join the class I started at the begining of may and have had 2 DILDs. I think they were lucky ones. I'm sure you have spoke to me in classes before haha, but I can't seem to get on to IRC at the moment. It keeps saying "Can't connect to remote server." I hope it gets fixed before the class

[Fredrik1ST]

I was slacking/absent a lot during the previous round, so here I am again! My name is Fredrik, and I've been interested in lucid dreaming since February. So far, I've had an accidental WILD and a couple of random DILDs, but I've never been able to thoroughly control them. My dreams seem to be racing as fast as when I'm awake, leading to utter chaos whenever I'm lucid. Like several people here seem to be, I'm somewhat into anime too. Gintama is a dreamsign of mine. ...I really want to experience another WILD, but as of now, it seems so far away. As for why I want to induce lucidity, I have no idea. It's just exciting!

[Morten]

With such a nice invitation how could I not sign up for this class again? For those of you who wasn't a part of the class last time, I'm Morten and I have been lucid dreaming on and off for about a year. I had been neglecting lucid dreaming several months when I decided to sign up for the class last time, and in the last week I had a lucid dream as well as one a few days after the class ended. Ophelia is a great teacher, and you certainly have something to look forward to. And remember; dedication, patience and motivation will get you a long way in the world of lucid dreaming!

[Morten]

A quick question: if I have to join the #DVA chatroom at some point, where is it? Is it on DreamViews or do I have to go somewhere else/download a program? Hey Chrysalis. You can download a client as Ophelia suggested or you could click the chat button at the top of DV to the right. Sign in like you would normally do, and type "/join #DVA" without the quotation marks. I want to join too! I'd love to be part of the class. But I dont get how this works.. You just sign up for the class by replying in this thread as you already did, and Ophelia will on June 4th post lesson I. The only thing you need now is to create your workbook by starting your own thread in this subforum.

[JoeyBelgier]

I guess you know who I am already I'd like to join, but exams are closing in, starting the 7th of this month. Not sure if I'll be able to give this the needed attention. Around what hours would the irc stuff be? I'm living in GMT+2.

[dreamerJon23]

I have been interested in DVA since it began, and I am glad to see it running smoothly. I would like to sign up.

[Fourced]

Hey guys! I'm so exited that there will be a new class starting. I've had little success with LDing and sadly my count is a mere 1. Hopefully i can learn a few things and find a good technique for me Thanks guys i'm looking forward to participating.

[Oceandrop]

Hello, I will join the class as well :-) I had three Lucid dreams until now, the two of them were brief and in fact I had today my third lucid dream, it was also my longest dream recall. Besides the Intro Class I will also be in Sageous WILD Class, but I'm a bit behind there and sadly couldn't participate much, because that I had to concentrate on Exams, but I hope to catch up on that now that I have time again. Anyway, I guess I should also talk a bit about my presence here on the forum, seeing that others have done it. So I'm 21 years old, got interested in Lucid Dreams again after finding LaBerges book that I lost when I was a bit younger, and I hope of course that we all get along well, some of you I also know a bit already from the IRC Channel. Also, like Harelori, Mydera and others I use Anime to entertain me, right now I watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, Samurai Champloo, Sakamichi no Apollo, Space Brothers and some other stuff. Btw, I'm also not a native British speaker, so if you find horrible flaws in my spelling and have to correct me, just do it. But I think I already got a bit better in the language since joining here and being on the IRC Channel.. :-) So long, making now a Workbook like Harelori and am looking foreward to Monday.

[LdObe]

I would love to sign up for this class! Can I have more info how?

[Caenis]

Hello all, I'm the second apprentice for this class. I'm 23, and I actively began to try to have LDs three months ago. I have had three LDs. I'm still learning, just like all of you. I hope everyone finds this class as helpful as I did. I first learned about lucid dreaming 10 years ago from my oldest sister. I'm interested in lucid dreams because there are a few key things I desire that I cannot attain in reality. I want to explore the unlimited possibilities lucid dreaming can provide. Like many of you, I also like anime. I'm glad to see so many new and old students in this class! As RareCola stated, PM us with any questions. Feel free to post questions in your workbooks as well, we'll be checking them regularly. I guess you know who I am already I'd like to join, but exams are closing in, starting the 7th of this month. Not sure if I'll be able to give this the needed attention. Around what hours would the irc stuff be? I'm living in GMT+2. I don't know if OpheliaBlue decided yet. She's in GMT-5. In the last class, the times were 12pm and 8pm CST. As for your exams, focus on those! This class lasts for 4 weeks, so you should have plenty of time to participate in this class. I would love to sign up for this class! Can I have more info how? Hey LdObe, you're already signed up. Welcome to our class! Want to give us a little information about yourself and your LDing experiences?

[LeapOfFaith]

Hey Everyone... I'm new to this site and lucid dreaming in general, but I would definitely like to dive into a class and learn as much as I can. I feel like I'm drinking from a fire hose with all of the information I'm taking in about lucid dreaming. Everyone has been really nice and helpful on here so thank you for that. I look forward to making new friends so feel free to add me. later. James (LeapOfFaith)
