New Guy here

I've been trying to get registered here for over a week & finally got on. I've been reading all the newbi sticky's in the mean time. I'm very interested in learning how to control my dreams, I've been interested in this for a very long time. I'm guessing at least 25 years ago I read an article in a magazine but never really got anywhere with it, it had some exercises to do right before you would go to sleep. I have had a "flying" dream a very long time ago & I remember it perfectly to this day like I had that dream last night. I can recall the exact place the flight took place. I started to run as fast as I can & just dove head first with my arms stretched out in front of me like superman would. I was flying about 3 or 4 feet above the ground, it only lasted a short time & was really cool. Now that there is such a thing as the internet, didn't have that back then, I have found this sight & hope to learn how to control my dreams. I'm not interested in flying anymore, just learning how to "wake up" in my dream. This seems to be my biggest issue & hope the members here can teach me how to do that. OK, I guess that's it for now. Thanks for having me. MAXX

Welcome to the forum, Maxx

Have you read the reality check tutorial? Dreamviews has a lot more information to get you started than a 25 year old magazine

Welcome to DV!

Some tutorials I think that would help you start off would be the Reality Check Tutorial, the Dream Recall Tutorial, the DILD Tutorial, and for your case, the Dream Control Tutorial. Good luck!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting into this. The magazine I referred to was something I read 25 years ago, not recently.
EDIT: I've been reading all of the tutorial's in the newbi section along with the ones posted above. The only problem I feel I'm going to have & need help with is the dream signs & reality checks. Are there things I need to do before sleeping? Like think of what I want to dream about & focus on that subject? Everything I've been reading kind of assume's you know your dreaming & go's from there. If someone could help me get to that point I think I could really run with it. Thanks, MAXX
