Hi all! Recently taken a specific interest in Lucid Dreaming. I've always found dreaming fascinating, but have never really considered actively delving into it. As a kid I remember vividly Lucid Dreaming twice, which i still remember some 10 years later. More recently, mainly after watching Inception, I acquired a more developed interest in actually inducing a Lucid state. The possibilities seem incredibly exciting! So I did a bit of googling and learned about MILD and WILD.

One technique did pique my interest, eyelid patterns. A sort of WILD branch I think, where you focus on the patterns that you see in front of your eyes in the dark. I remember I used to do this a lot when I was younger as I always wanted to know what the patterns were. It occurs to be now that this may have been what caused my Lucid Dreams when I was young. Anyways, started writing a dream diary last week, and so far am managing to write one dream every two or so days.

Hopefully I'll start posting here regularly, I am studying Psychology now at school, and am very much considering doing studying psychology at University in just over a year, and dreaming is one of my largest interests! So hope to see you guys around!

One quick question I do have however, most of the dreams that I do remember, it seems that I am more watching myself interact with the dream in third person. I don't recall actually witnessing it as I would consciously, almost as though I am watching a film of myself. In this manner I am finding it difficult to work out how to perform reality checks, as it doesn't feel as though i'd be able to do that! Anyway, hopefully haven't bored you all with my ramblings!
