Introduction

Good morning all,

My name is Zach. I figured I would stop in to give a quick introduction to everyone around here.

I am a 22 year old college student (soon to be graduate student, hopefully) in Colorado. I'm a Psychology major who hopes to go to graduate school for Clinical Neuropsychology next year. I'm very interested in how our brain works, which is I believe part of why I've become so interested in lucid dreaming.

About four years ago, I investigated lucid dreaming and even tried to undertake it, but I was a bit too stressed with familial, school, and relationship issues and ultimately stopped trying due to this. I also had not taken any sort of courses in the physiology of our brain or sleep. Since 2006, I've become more aware and interested in this field. I know about the theory behind lucid dreaming, but now I hope that my interest and drive will allow me to improve dream recall and ultimately experience a lucid dream. It's the application that I've really been stuck on in the past.

Please give me a shout if you want to chat. I look forward to my future experiences here.

Definitely check out lucid dreams. Dreams offer a window to the mind that is rarely explored.

Welcome to DV!

There are some easy ways that you can start off, such as by doing reality checks or starting to keep a dream journal, both of which are easy. You should read the Reality Check Tutorial, the Dream Recall Tutorial, and the DILD tutorial, which are all good for beginners. Good luck!
