Finally getting serious about lucid dreaming again, and this website has really impressed me. I'm looking forward to stumbling across all the info that's out there, expanding my awareness and having fun along the way. My RCs have had an inspiring spiritual quality that I didn't really expect; and I am hoping to continue using this inspiration as a catalyst for improving myself. Feel free to shoot me a question or comment about anything I mention in here. If you have a suggestion about how I can tweak/add something to what I'm doing, or if I can clarify something weird I might say please let me know.


Reality Checks:
- Spinning in a circle and observing deeply. I've read this can also help keep one in a Lucid dream.
- Kuji In (Japanese method of finger folding; essentially "Mudras" but a concise, refined series of them.). It helps me to observe the look/feel of my hands.
- Meditation upon my awareness of self/specific observations or objects.

Dream Signs:
- Notice that I can jump really high.
- Back in school
- ?

Short-Term Goals:
- Lucid dream longer by relaxing/spinning/rubbing my hands together.
- Demand more answers to the questions I have about my past/my emotional life.
- Try to find DCs who will have direct conversations with me instead of acting like pre-programmed NPCs.

Long-Term Goals:
- Be able to regularly sit down and relax fully while examining objects/people within my dreams.
- Have a list of personalized verbal commands that I can recall and utilize with skill.
- Be able to fly and shoot energy blasts and things at any time

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
- I have had many, many lucid dreams in my teenage years. But I haven't had the ability/focus/self awareness to do so in the last several years... pretty much. Last few months though, I've utilized some techniques from worldofluciddreaming.com; they list some verbal commands you can speak/yell to your subconscious self to attain desired effects. Most notably for me: "Clarity, NOW!" has been the game-changer. This can take away a lot of the fog around your peripheral "vision" and clarify detail, also it has made my thoughts/focus sharper. I conjured up serious answers to some demands/questions of mine and now I'm always thinking of lucid dreams before I go to bed.

Current Technique:
- Dream Initiated Lucid Dreams (DILDS)

Thanks for reading if you have. I wish you all knowledge and lucidity...
