Thread: Greetings!

Hey there! There are some pretty skilled people here to help you with whatever you need as well as a bunch of tutorials to read through. I'm here if you have any questions but for more advanced advice, seek out one of the dream guides here. Welcome!

Altamont, welcome to DV!

What hprib012 said is right; the DV community is great and willing to help people (nearly) at the drop of a hat. We also have a revamped DV Academy now, with classes from Intro (Zebrah) to (Meditation (ShockWave), and the style of it is very open. That is, you don't need to sign up for most of the classes, and you can just browse the lessons if you wish.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in a post, or send me a private message! And good luck lucid dreaming!

ShockWave.

Welcome to the Dreamviews forum, AltamontWolfe! There's a lot of friendly people around that can answer any questions you may have, as well as Dream Guides (such as myself) who are often readily available. If you haven't yet, take the time to read through the Dreamviews Wiki, and perhaps even have a look at the Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming - it's a compilation of info that I wrote, which is designed to help new lucid dreamers get started with their endeavors.

The very first thing you should do, if you haven't yet, is start keeping a dream journal. If you don't remember that many dreams (or even small fragments) each night, keeping a "DJ" will help exercise your dream memory and eventually you could recall upwards of three or more a night. Another thing you could try is get into the mindset of wanting to lucid dream, or knowing that you'll have a lucid dream tonight. Confidence is very important, as is not stressing out if you can't seem to get lucid the first few days. Everyone learns at a different pace.

The final tip I can give is to learn the different reality checks, or "RCs". These are used to confirm whether or not you're dreaming. If you want to know if you're really dreaming or not, you can't just pinch yourself or see what an object feels like, because dreams can seem incredibly realistic. One example of an RC is the nose-plug RC - plug your nose, and see if you can breathe. If you're dreaming, yes, you'll be able to breathe without feeling any pressure or the sensation that your nose is blocked!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, and good luck!

to dreamviews. Check out all the tutorials, but specifically, the DILD, Reality Check, and WBTB ones, those are the best ones to start out with. If you have questions, ask

Welcome to the forums ^^
the people here are really great, you'll meet some amazing ones on here for sure.
It's great that you've read tutorials and such, just try to start out small and build up your ability. Start of with a simple dream journal and recall, start with autosuggestion/mantras when going to bed and doing reality checks in the day. You will soon see improvements with your recall and your chances of becoming lucid.
Just keep patient, confident and determined, don't give up; lucid dreaming can be a struggle for some, so just keep patient. Have complete confidence. You are an expert lucid dreamer.
You're really gonna like it here. If you have any questions you can PM me (or any other dream guide) or ask around on the forum. Good luck

Thanks guys! I'm super excited to start the learning process; I kept my first dream journal last night/this morning, and I got the details of five of the dreams I had. Hopefully soon I'll be even better
