Hi! I'm Kelly. I'm 17, from the US.
I guess I've heard murmurings about lucid dreaming for a while now, and I never really cared too much. But I watched Waking Life last night; now I'm interested. That movie was intense.
Anyways, I figured I should join a community of sorts, with people who have an inkling about what lucid dreams actually are... So here I am.

I hope you guys can help me out. :D

Welcome, Kelly!

Once you have your first lucid dream, you will see how awesome it really is. It is an amazing feeling. I recommend you start by reading Puffin's Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming. It has any info a new person needs to know! Good luck, if you have any questions please feel free to PM me!

Does this mean I have to wait a while before I can show the newbie my tits?

You should also browse the Tutorial section when you get the chance, it's full of information, tips, and in-depth guides. On top of that, you can also visit the DV Academy for further guidance - the DVA Professors will teach you everything you'll ever need to know about lucid dreaming.

You might also want to get into the habit of performing reality checks (maybe two or three) throughout your day, you'll eventually start doing them in dreams and become lucid. I usually count my fingers but feel free to look up other methods and see which works best for you. I'd also recommend keeping a dream journal; regularly recording your dreams is a great way to improve to improve recall and you'll be able to notice common themes and patterns which can further help you attain lucidity.

We also have an off-topic section as well where you can discuss anything from books, movies, tv shows, philosophy, current events, etc so be sure to visit that part of the forum as well. If you ever get bored or need to kill time, visit Senseless Banter. It's full of nonsensical threads like forum games and the SB frequenter's are a friendly bunch so feel free to drop in sometime. We also have an IRC Chat Server which can be found near the top of the forum index. 'tis lulz.
