Hello everybody ~

As usual, my guilt from being such a lurker has overwhelmed me and I decided to post an introduction. My real name is Laura, but please call me Lori. All throughout my childhood up until now I have experienced lucid dreams, so this isn't an entirely new concept for me. My sister introduced me to this forum when she noticed me researching lucid dreams (Great place this ;D). I have learnt many new and intriguing things about dreams and lucid dreams here so far, and hope to learn more in future. I am now actively keeping a dream journal, but can only recall about one dream per night (Although they are becoming lengthier and more detailed). I may recall more, but I cannot tell the difference between one dream and the next because I am constantly switching dream scenes.

Since finding this forum four nights ago, I have managed to have one DILD. Funnily enough, it was on the only day that I didn't try any particular technique to induce a lucid dream. Thanks to the stabilization techniques learnt here, I managed to hold onto my LD (by rubbing my hands together and indulging my senses in the dream). Flying was nothing new to me, but it was fun nonetheless. However, in all of my lucid dreams that I have had, I can never make a person appear. I had more success this time because I expected them to come around the next corner. But when I saw them, they immediately ran away. No matter how quickly I chased them, I could never even see their face. I became quite frustrated, and I believe I lost my lucidity due to this. This commonly occurs in my lucid dreams, and I am wondering if there is a possibility of fixing this. I would appreciate your input :)
