Hello there, fellow dreamers!

After years and years of being interested in the dream world (even writing short stories based on dream experiences) I came to a conclusion that perhaps it was time to reach out to others with the passion as myself. Since I was about fifteen or sixteen years old I've been struggling to find the answers to dreams, whether they be lucid or not. Actually, I should have read into the forum more before I joined because I now see that this is almost most in defiantly dedicated to the art of Lucid Dreaming. I am not entirely interested in the formation of Lucid Dreams.

However! I did look into a few years back because my oldest brother once told me a story about how he was Lucid Dreaming one night and that he spoke to his Anima in the back of a subway. She had told him that he would eventually meet a woman and that he would be purely happy one day. This drove me to try LD so I went a hunt and found some exercises to trigger the LD state. I succeeded twice in one night, though they only lasted no more than an hour or so both times (I kept a clock next to me). I woke up the next morning feel groggy and exhausted so I gave up LD from then on. That was about four or five years ago.

Although I'm not against LD, I just don't know if it's the type of dreaming for me. Maybe this forum will change my perspective or maybe it will help me to better understand what my very stubborn unconscious is trying to tell me.

I've had some very...interesting dreams to say the least. When my current boyfriend and I first started dating I would have dreams of us getting into arguments and the next day those arguments would happen, it started to become a warning in some sense. Now after three years of being with him, it only happens occasionally anymore. I have dreams about my brother whenever he's in trouble (we have a very strong sibling connection as it is) and I've had dreams that have helped me unlock fears and troubles that I had blocked out completely in my subconscious.

Now that I've blabbered on enough, I'm really looking forward to starting a whole new dream experience, connecting with others and finding my answers. Some people question the existence of God; I question the existence of Dreams.

I'm a very laid back, Zen being so feel free to offer any suggestions or thoughts and I'm hoping to have lots of fun here!
