Greetings and salutations, dreamweavers.

I ran into lucid dreaming by complete accident. I always knew I could become aware that I was dreaming, and exert control over my dreams even when I wasn't lucid. I made some attempts at dream recall years ago but never got anywhere and just stopped because I had other things on my mind. I found it unbelievable, though, that other people either had no idea what I was talking about or didn't care in the least when I talk about how you can remember and control your dreams and basically experience a world only limited to and only answering to your imagination that looks, sounds, and feels real but has no consequences in reality. Kind of humorous how I always hear people predicting the human race dying when virtual sex machines are made, when you already have a free one in your mind that you don't need to take time out of your day to use. You'd think if anything THAT would get people interested...

I read up on the guides, and MasterMind's tip for dream recall helped IMMENSELY. I recall a ton in only my second night trying. You should really include that in the guides somewhere. Now the problem is getting lucid... I don't seem to notice something's up even when people are transforming into bagels so that's a problem. Time to put on that digital watch.

Anyway, enough rambling, I just meant to say hello, say thanks and ask a quick question. Does it help if you write dream journals in present tense?
