A basic hello here.

I've been interested in Lucid Dreaming for its possibilities, but for years never realized it required work. A few years ago i got and read LaBerge's books, and intended to keep a dream journal which i only slightly kept to. I've had a couple LDs in the past, but woke up due to excitement. That's the old history.

More recently, i was reading a site with random things where one was the author's LD experience. He posted one about flying by flapping his wings (due to his mindset) and i was intrigued yet again, perhaps more intently. That night i had an LD. I recognized the dream sign (watch letters moving) went outside and attempted to fly. I was mildly successful before i woke up feeling wonderful. Feeling-wise, knowing i had an LD was more wonderful than the LD itself.

I guessed reading about it awoke my interest, causing the awareness. That should mean that getting involved talking about these things could help me attain lucidity in the future. I googled lucid dream forums and looked at the first three.

The first i looked at (ordering whatever) didn't look promising, not many replies, content mostly from wikipedia, and so on. This is number two. The depth of the site and thread counts are quite amazing. Now, i'm looking at replies. The question is, is the community here my style, that is, will it engage me.

I don't know what my involvement will be, it's much too early to tell. But for right now, i hope it helps me attain lucidity more often, give me tips on how to try things (nice tutorials here), and give me ideas for the future.

Either way, thanx for the nice site! It's good to know this community exists, and that the resources are available.
