I believe introductions are in order.

[EmperorOfMyMind]

Hello, everyone. I am Emperor Of My Mind, and I am pleased to meet you and to join this community of oneironauts. I suppose I should say a little about myself. Very few of my personal details really matter, so I'll keep this short: I am 18, I live in the United States, and I will begin to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering shortly. I became very interested in Lucid Dreams (Dreams in general, actually) about a month ago, though I have heard of and have had a few lucid dreams long before then. (Very few - less than seven that I can remember, and I had awoken upon the realization that I was dreaming in at least four.) The reasons for my sudden interest in lucid dreams are many, though the most significant among them is simple curiosity, followed closely by the fact that it sounds really fun. I've already taken my first steps by starting a dream journal, taking regular reality checks and being generally more aware of my surroundings than before, and taking on a positive attitude. I've not achieved lucidity yet, at least not that I can remember, but I believe it is only a matter of time. Anyway, I'm glad to be here. I'll be sure to ask questions if I can't find the answers by searching.
