Hello everyone, my name is Amanda. A little about me in general: I am an Army wife living in Fort Bragg, NC with my amazing husband Matthew, 3 year old daughter Kailyn, and Tyler on the way (almost 7 months pregnant). I am currently pursuing a bachelors degree fully online (not as easy as most people think) in Psychology. Ultimately I want to have a masters in Marriage and Family Counseling with experience in Substance abuse and mental health as well. I plan to have my own counseling firm years from now probably around the time my husband is retiring from the Army. I am open minded, observant, and a hard worker. I love being a mom and wife.

About my dream experience. One day when I was fairly young I stumbled upon lucid dreaming. I didn't know that it had a term to it, but it was 'cool'. So I kept going, curious if I could control dreams as well. i had some successful attempts with that, never able to change the architecture of the dream but other things I could change and make decisions within it, etc. During this time I also had an out of body experience on accident. It didn't last long but developed my interest in that as well. However, I fell out of it, perhaps with the distractions of my waking life. Recently I have been thinking more and more about it and how I would like to pursue it more. Especially now that I know what it is called and have an idea of what is possible in this area. Not to mention I have an awesome husband who has interests and experience in these areas as well and is actively trying to be able to astral project at will nightly. Now having this support system in my family which I didn't have before and now having found this forum, I am hoping to enter this realm once again since it seems to come fairly naturally to me anyways. I am still able to wake myself up from dreams I do not wish to be having, an odd sensation. I am also finding myself recognizing I am dreaming and then forgetting, lol. For a while I wasn't even remembering dreams, that seems to be better now. Having seen Inception two days ago, the subject is fresh on my mind at night and I think it helps.

Anyways, sorry for the novel, guess I have more background than I thought. I am hoping to get back into it though. Thanks for listening... O reading, rather!
