Though I've been chasing after the Idea of dreams for years, i return a now a noob subscribing to (what i think to be) a much more correct/accurate/true purpose. Especially when considering that my only drive in the pursuit before basically paralleled the ambition of a stoner looking for a high.

So hello fellow beginners, and don't get this whole LD thing confused. Don't treat dreams as another form of sensual gratification. Lucid Dreaming is a Spiritual/Religious/Existential exploration. IMHO Dreams cannot be fully realized -- "success" -- without acknowledging the spiritual ties. Without spiritual practices.
