Ahoi there!

I'm Mariëlle and I don't have a problem. Can someone give me advice? Sorry, I always feel like I'm in an AA-meeting when introducing myself.

So, I'm new here. I have lurked around here for sometime now and I find everything to be very interesting. All you people seemed so friendly I just had to join this community.

I had my first lucid dream yesterday. (Victory!) It was an amazing experience. I had tried lucid dreaming in the past a few times, but I never really succeeded. Yesterday I had watched the movie 'Waking life' and I was so into it. I was determined to have a lucid dream myself. I went to bed and said to myself: "Mariëlle, tonight you're gonna have your first knowingly lucid dream.' That must have worked. I hadn't done a reality check in my waking life for years but for some reason (I think because it was in the movie) I did it in my dream. In my dream I was talking to my sister and her husband (who i rarely see in real life) about the fact that I was having a lucid dream and what it felt like. I'll never forget what it felt like.

I really want to keep doing it. So I am going to keep a journal and do reality checks during the day. Maybe i'm a bit too ambitious since I've had only one lucid dream yet but I really looking forward to learning to influence my dreams and go flying and stuff like that.

So I think that pretty much sums up what I'm doing here.

Sleep well my friends
