Hey yall, I'm Lotus, new to the forum. I've been joining a few new forums this past week, because I've been wanting to explore my own personal interests more avidly than I have in the past.
I've been changing a lot of things in my life lately - my diet, my room, my mental and physical health routines, my energy, my attitude, morale, etc. Things are looking better for me since I've decided to put more time and energy into myself.

So part of my re-discovery of myself is delving back into my dreams. I have pretty good dream recall - I always tell my boyfriend what wacky, nonsensical dreams I had during the night and he gives me odd looks.
I haven't had a lucid dream in a long time, but I'd like to try getting more control over my ability to have lucid dreams. I have had lucid dreams before where I was aware I was dreaming, had control over myself and my thoughts but not the dream, and then I've had dreams where I could control the content, time, space, location, etc...like pressing the channel button on a TV remote control - but I felt more like an observer in it rather than an active participant.

I enjoy my dreams - the weird ones, scary ones, happy ones, fast paced, slow, dark, light, symbolic, nonsense, wacky dreams. I'm sure you all do, too. That's why we're here!

My goal in being on this forum is to keep lucid dreaming on the front of my daytime consciousness, because what you do during the day gets processed at night while you dream, right? So if I think about lucid dreaming, I'll remember it, and my brain will process it at night while I sleep, and maybe during that time I'll consciously remember it and it'll leak into my dreams and I'll become lucid.
That's the plan anyways...
