Mostly just extremely excited to meet others like me!

Reality Checks

1) I already ask myself a lot if I'm dreaming
2) I tend to pinch myself and expect it not to hurt
3) Going to start trying the thumb through hand
4) Going to try the counting fingers

Dream Signs

1) Entering through a floating door or a door that appears out of nowhere
2) My stunning black haired piercing blued eyed boy (always while I was younger and now recently back)

Short-term goals

1) To have more dream control. Even simple as transforming to the correct animal at will. (wolf or hawk for me)
2) To try other methods of induction
3) To increase my memory recall

Long-term goals

1) To gain total dream control.
2) To learn to help others
3) To just plain enjoy what I already enjoy!

Lucid/Dream Recall History

I am 21 and have been having lucid dreams for as long as I remember. Couldn't even tell you when the first was because I was so young. I have lucid dreams probably 95% of the time and if I don't then all I get are feelings, no real dream visualized. I didn't learn about lucid dreams until I was in high school and even though it interested me, I didn't look much further than that. It wasn't until just a few days ago that I begun searching and came across this site.

I have been able to transform into a wolf or a hawk, and only ONCE was I a dragon thing, otherwise always the same and sometimes I fight it to be which one I want. I also can fly often. Sometimes I lose control of it and do fall. I sometimes can control the things around me and create doors to escape from danger in dreams.

I have a dream guy. Although I am married in real life, I have this guy. He first showed up when I was very little up till 16 to where he disappeared for awhile, and most my dreams after that took on a more fearful, anxious, nervous vibe. A few days ago, and why I looked and found this site, he reappeared in my dreams. When he is there and I see him, I'm always relaxed, happy, I feel safe.

I have occasionally had dream so real and me so involved I did think they were real but upon asking the people that were supposedly there, they do not recall such an event, is how I know its a dream. I have this happen probably once a year.

I have also had what I'd consider precognitive. I honestly think I pick up cues in real life and my subconcious sorts it out in my dream to seem like I saw the future. I knew the day before I got my first horses that I was getting them and what they looked like. Same with one of my dogs. The most confusing one was for the US... I had a dream the week before 911 that a plane crashed into the two tall buildings. I saw lots of fire. I was in 4th grade at the time and had never seen a building that big in my life. First time I have allowed this to be known to public. I told my parents though, when I did dream it. That was the most confusing one.

Have also been able to fall back asleep into the same dream and continue forth.

I sleep generally from 10-11pm to 7-8 am. Any less and I'm a crabby bear.

I am definitely ready to learn more!

Current Techniques

1) naturally DILD
2) naturally WBTB ( I always wake up roughly 90 minutes apart all night long.)
3) a few times DEILD
4) I'm pretty sure I've had WILD as well. Feels like I've left my body and gone to a dream?
5) Also pretty sure I've done MILD, I start visualizing me loping my horse through a pasture with no tack and passing through doors.

I'm not 100% on my methods, but seems to be I've possibly done all of them at some point.

Any help is welcome! Thank you!
