"No similar threads found." That's cute :3

Anyway, hi everyone! I just found this forum and I'm a teensy bit overwhelmed... not only with the possibilities of living out a dream fantasy /o.0/ but also with all of the places to go on the forums and the website... How to's, dream guides, dream journals, WILD, DILD, dancing bananas, spiritual discussions, astral projection, lucid dreaming classes, and a la-di-da-di-da.

I'm sure I'll find a spot to chill eventually, but for now, why don't I introduce myself. My name is Ben... I live in San Luis Obispo, California, and while I'm not unfamiliar with the concept of lucid dreaming, I've never seriously tried it and therefore have never had any success. I'm often under a great deal of stress due to work, school and family, and I have terrible dream recall... if any at all.

I enjoy writing stories, drawing, and creating music, although I wish I were better at all three. I also love being surrounded by nature and animals on an almost spiritual level, I suppose you could say. I'm nonreligious and searching for answers in this big ol' world of ours.

My favorite TV shows are Desperate Housewives, The Office, and Arrested Development.

My favorite movie is a tie between James Cameron's Avatar and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

And my favorite video game is either The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Galaxy 2, or Elite Beat Agents.

My self-expression is rather... Disney-esque. My drawings are inspired by french impressionism, very bright and pastel, and my music draws on the beauty of base emotions and primal feeling. I'd love to share some of them with you someday.


I'm just looking for a warm and inviting community that could help me develop recall and dreaming ability. I think it would be a fantastic and helpful mental outlet for me, and I would be forever grateful. I'm willing to do whatever it takes, and to commit for as long as I have to... I think this could change my life around.

Anyways, it's late and I've gotta get to bed (=D). I look forward to meeting all of you, and taking part in sharing experiences and participating in classes and everything :3
