Hello out there. Just thought Id post up in the newb zone let people know that I exist. Well I like the site so far and Ill be looking forward to using the dream journal, reading dream stories, getting some tips and possibly making some friends. Oh and I'm totally excited about having my first LD the other day. Short because I woke myself up but still way cool.
Hey Skygerobrian, welcome to Dreamviews, and congrats on your first lucid! :)
Waking up is a minor problem that can be avoided simply by rubbing your hands and feeling the texture of them, "dream spinning" (spinning slowly in a circle to take in the details of what's around you), and/or simply relaxing and not thinking of your physical body. Thinking of your physical body can rapidly take your attention away from the dream and wake you up.
If you haven't looked through it yet, go to the Dreamviews Wiki, it has a lot of information that can help you in your LDing endeavors. There's stuff on dream control, ways to help make dreams more vivid, tutorials submitted by experienced members of this site... Every time I browse around in the Wiki, I find something new that I didn't know before.
Lastly, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions; a Dream Guide (someone with a green name) or another helpful user will be happy to answer them!
Puffin basically covered it, but I want to say Welcome to the community! Just keep posting and i'm sure you won't have a hard time finding friends :)
Welcome to Dream Views Skygerobrian! Congratulations on having your first lucid dream, out of curiosity how long did it take you to have your first LD?
I hope you stick around and enjoy Dream Views :)
Puffin covered everything. So I'll just say welcome, and enjoy the DJ section!
Well I was having more and more dreams after my party phase in life was over(Ive bin grown up for some time now). But anyway, since I was having more dreams I started to get interested in dreams and some how wound up on youtube LD videos. That was probably 6 months ago, and I wasn't really trying hard. Spent maybe 2 days total doing reality checks quite sometime back, first LD was just kinda random. :)
Edit: I was keeping a dream Journal the whole time.
:welcome: Have lots of fun. Check out the tutorial section and ask lots of questions if you have them.
