Thread: I've finally caved and joined.

Honestly, enthusiasm is a great contributor to lucid dreams. You're on the way already.

My goal, when I'm good enough, is to be able to manipulate my dreams enough to do and try things I'd never do in real life (like play music on a stage, meet characters from books, fly). Are these realistic expectations?

Damn straight! You wouldn't believe some of the stuff people do. The other night I summoned a dragon out of a frozen lake and rode it across the country, burnin' and pillagin'.

Thanks for the response, JD. I'm glad enthusiasm helps because, haha, that's something I have in spades. I'm determined to do this the right way. I'd rather take longer, investing in proper techniques, to realize my end result rather than try to take shortcuts and frustrate myself to quitting.
