      OK, here's some of the most important ones that came in my mind:
      LD = Lucid dream
      DILD = Dream initiated lucid dream
      WILD = Wake initiated lucid dream
      SP = Sleep paralysis
      FA = False awakening
      Don't think about those damn kangaroos.

      Thank you.

      We should all remember that new people come to the Page all the time and may not be familiar with our technical abbreviations, and they might feel too selfconscious to ask. for those of us without the greatest typing... I should say keyboard, as some young people may not have ever heard of or seen a 'typewriter' -- ... without the greatest keyboard skills who find it a struggle to hunt and peck even the shortest words, then these abbreviations may be something of a necessity. But others of us who are less challenged should include the full terms so that the Newbies may have a fighting chance of catching up to the rest of us.

      Or then we could collect all the important abbreviations into this thread and make it sticky. Or make a new sticky thread about them.

      Is a 'sticky' something like instructions that people are supposed to read before they just jump in, but nobody ever reads instructions, and everyone just jumps in.

      Instructions are wonderful because they give the vendor an excuse to blame the customer for not being able to operate their product -- "They should read the instructions".

      so yes, you can post some little obscure sticky somewhere which lists these cryptic abbreviations so that we will have the convenience of pointing our fingers and blaming the victim to say it is all their own fault when they read abbreviated posts which make no integral sense in and of themselves. If they would read the stickies then they would know our own secretive cult patois.

      But what would be wrong with speaking english... which isn't to say it would not be better if everybody were to learn a truly universal language...

      WILD and DILD are the two ways a lucid dream can start with. In WILD (wake initiated lucid dream) you go to a lucid dream straight from awake without any unconscious sleep. In DILD (dream initiated lucid dream) you realize that you're dreaming while you dream.

      I hope this clarified it.
