A two-year veteran of the internet forum OD, I happened to stumble across a thread about dreams several days ago. In one of the first posts, someone linked to a Wikipedia article about lucid dreaming. Feeling mildly curious about the whole business, I read the entire article, then began checking out the links given at the end. The second link directed me to your site, and I must say I was very impressed with what I found. In my scouring of the internet for lucid dreaming techniques and forums, yours was by far the nicest and most comprehensive, and for that I salute you.

Since reading the Wikipedia article, I've done my best to work on my dream recall, but after 3-4 nights I've come up nearly blank. I had an inkling of a memory this morning as I woke up, but it vanished when I tried to remember it like mist in noon sunlight. Hopefully with time and patience I'll improve.

About me: I'm a sixteen year old guy living in south Jersey (not saying where, exactly, this being the internet after all... ). My interests, besides eventually lucid dreaming, include reading, archery, slinging (ask me about that one ), sketching (not very well), and computer games such as Rome: Total War.

I intend to stick around here for a long time, but after the two-week waiting period I'll apply for adoption. Hope I get to know you all in the next few weeks!

As I preview my message, I notice that my sig (designed originally for OD) isn't centering, and the Ahkmet/spoon link isn't showing up black. Can anyone tell me how to remedy this?

Thanks and happy dreaming!
