I'm falling in love with all of you LDers already.

Hi there. So this is my formal introduction post.

Maybe it's just the nice beers in my tummy talking, but I've been lurking the forums for a few days and may I just say, all of you guys are absolutely fantastic.

My name is Kaylynn, I'm 25. I live in NC US, I'm married, I'm new to all this. Other obsessions: the enneagram (I'm a 4w3 sx/so if you are wondering), movies, the Beatles, cats, psychology in general, writing, fanfic (don't write much any more but interested in getting back to it), Radiohead, did I mention cats?, Sufjan Stevens (a new one for me), oh other things but there's time for all that later.

You know, in all honesty, I've never really used forums before. As mentioned, I'm 25 (nearly 26) and I sort of missed out on the whole forum thing. Plenty of social networking, journaling, all that - but I missed a few things. Blogger will never be Livejournal. Facebook will never be MySpace. Google chat will never be AIM. I guess I need to catch up and get with the times, but I'm nostalgic.

Anyway, you guys are great, and smart, and sort of nerdy (like me), and obsessive, and imaginative, and you refuse to let life live you. You have dreams - literally and figuratively. I love that. I feel like maybe I'll eventually have a nice place here. It's always hard being the new kid, but hey, everyone's the new kid sometimes.

So that's that. Nice to meet you. Thanks for being awesome.

Hey Kaylynn, very interesting spelling of the name, but still sounds nice... Welcome to the forums..
Have you had lucid dreams in the pasts.. or since you've been lurking here at the forums

Both. I have had lucid dreams naturally - the most notable was when I met John Lennon in a grocery store (I think he was bagging my groceries). He told me that I could only see him in dreams. I became lucid. I had him listen to a demo tape of my songs. He liked them. It was one of the best experiences I have had.

I had my first purposeful LD this morning and posted about it. I may start a DJ here - I like the idea.

I want to master WILDs but I think it may take lots of time and practice. Honestly... I've completely lost it over this. It's probably the best thing I've ever found. Ever.

no, no it's you!! YOU'RE awesome! you're the one!!! (in sickening affectionate style of speech you'd use on a pet or a baby)

it's like the best first date ever. or the worst. depending on how things turn out.

**LabRat** · 01-21-2011 05:17 AM

Welcome! By the way, I love the Beatles aswell!

Should upload my photo of my amazing Beatles Mug.

**justkillingtime** · 01-21-2011 04:20 PM

Yes please do! I love all things Beatles. I've been a fanatic since I was about 11 or 12. Never will get tired of them.

**Caden** · 01-21-2011 05:32 AM

Ok so we're all awesome, well I already knew that!

I created a DJ here and it has helped. It tells your brain to do something in your dreams because you have a post to do every day on DV. Actually I started posting just the memorable ones to force my mind to come up with better dreams and it has! Just remember to make it fun.

I think I'll start one up today. I have been keeping one of my own on my computer; but it seems like it'd be fun to post them here. I'm doing pretty good with dream recall, but the DJ definitely has been improving it.

Thanks so much! At first, I thought you were complimenting me for having correct spelling in my post, which made me very excited. Then I realized you were complimenting the spelling of my name. I can't take credit there. But either way, thanks for the warm welcome. Will do!

**~~fhgshfdg~~** · 01-21-2011 06:36 AM

Best introduction I've read in a long time ; D and not just because it compliments me and the community which has sat amongst my most favorite since I've joined what seems like ages ago. You may not know me, but I love you all too!

**Oneironaut Zero** · 01-21-2011 06:51 AM

Awesome intro, Kaylynn. I hope the community here continues to live up to your kind words.

That being said; welcome to Dream Views. By all means, make yourself comfortable, enjoy your stay, and if you have any specific questions during your journey, ask away!

**lotsofface** · 01-21-2011 07:06 AM

I think you'll find Dreamviews to be one of the more united and complete internet communities out there because we're all approaching the same goal (lucidity). Aside from the occasional shared dreaming philosophical and scientific debates (which I take partial blame for), most of the people here get along wonderfully. I hope you find the info here to be helpful as I have.

to Dream Views Kaylynn! Awesome spelling! Great introduction! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. =D

Hey Kaylynn, thanks for the nice compliment to us! Sounds like you will fit in great here.

By the way, not to be creepy, but I noticed your from Asheville. I live in Boone, right down the road.

No way! Awesome. Yeah I've only lived in Asheville for about a year, I lived in Hendersonville for about 2 years before that. I like it here. Originally a Floridian though. Nice to meet you! Great to see someone local on here.

Nice! Yet another (albeit former) Floridian! I swear, we are quickly taking this place over!

Haha it seems like there's a helluva lot of people from Ohio to me.

Yeah I was born in Daytona and lived in that area most of my life... FL seems to breed quirky types.

I miss the beach, I might move back in the next few years.

My entire family is from/in Daytona (both sides). Right now, I'm about 20 minutes away, in Deltona. Florida definitely does seem to breed quirky types, but I can't say that it's always in a good way. LOL. I couldn't imagine living somewhere without a beach, for very long, though. I'm big on the amusement parks, too.

**nina** · 01-21-2011 05:12 PM

Agreed. Great intro. Welcome welcome.

Hey! I just moved away from Asheville North Carolina! Those mountains are so beautiful! I wish that I met you while I was there, I don't know any dreamers really in person. How funny. I love cats also and the Beatles. My cat ran away when I moved in Asheville to Candler. I went to Oregon and now I am living in Colorado. I really love John Lennon.
