Hi :) this is my proper introduction

Hello DV! I've posted around a little bit but never really introduced myself ^ _ ^ call me Rebel or Seven or both! I'm here for the long run. I will be a dream guide eventually...mark my words!

I have good control, and induction, and stability. A few of my methods are unorthodox but thats what happens when you don't know there's so many awesome people here to show you the easy way lol.

For purposes here I'm interested in psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, I don't have strong opinions myself, I like to think this leaves me open to others with true belief. I love the discussion and debate that comes with these ideas and would love to learn if you think you have something to teach!

I plan to spend a lot of time catching up on old threads and posts, and getting to know some of you on here.

Thanks for your time!

Dream on!

:welcome:
I'm interested to find out your personal methods. It is always fun to inject some new ideas into this place.

Welcome RebelSeven, good luck on becoming a dream guide :D And i would also like to read about your unorthodox methods :)

Hi! I'm newish, too! Always great to make new friends!
You seem like an awesome Lucid dreamer! Lucky you :D

Welcome to the forums, if you need help with anything feel free to send me a private message. Good luck!

Hey guys!

Wow! quick responses ^ _ ^

I usually WILD to become lucid, something that happened on accident trying to overcome insomnia over a year ago. My friend suggested trying visualization meditation. Just keep the mind occupied in a way that the body could fall asleep (I am against using medication to help me sleep, but understand that is a personal choice) Anyways, I would create a setting and scenario in my mind trying to make it as real as possible. Eventually I would suddenly realize that I wasn't in control anymore, that the people in the scenario were acting on their own! It shocked me so bad I would wake up. This is before I ever heard about Lucid dreaming and it weirded me out lol but I felt adventurous and kept at it till I could stay asleep once I realized I was dreaming.

I call this unorthodox because I literally create the beginning of the dream, as opposed to experiencing Hypnogogic Hallucinations and Sleep paralysis, my mind goes straight to lucidity.

Now for Dream control I have another method. I have a necklace that I wear constantly in the real world, I call it my Dream Icon. While awake I use it as a tool for meditation and imagine it clearing out all my bad energy, and putting good energy into it. To gain control in a dream if I can't do something I absorb the energy out of my Dream Icon, It works like a charm! Literally! This takes a level of make-believe that wasn't easy to achieve lol, but like I said, it paid off. I now have ultimate control in my lucid dreams thanks to this method!

So, mostly my style is visualization, which is fortunate, now that I am focusing on RC's and MILDS and DILDS I am catching those dreams that aren't WILD and becoming lucid ^ _ ^ I feel very fortunate to have found DV!

I'd say my biggest problem is remembering dream goals once I'm lucid but that is quickly improving!

Thanks again for your warm welcomes :) I can be more clear about any of this if anyone wants to know more also

Never kept track of how many I had so my LD count is a very low estimation.

Welcome to the forums also from me... Sounds like you are quite the natural.. I'm sure your experience here will be great :)

^ _ ^ thanks

BTW Linkster, you've inspired me to include more Zelda inspired goals to my already lengthy list lol, sometimes I forget how much I love Ocarina of Time

Your welcome :)
