Hi everyone,

My name is Asen (a.k.a. Openmind0306), I'm Bulgarian. I thought it will be a good idea to introduce myself since I plan to be an active member of this forum.

I'm going to tell you my story as briefly as I can, because it will help you understand the reasons why I'm joining this community.

I'm 20 years old, male. I worked for a couple of online gambling companies since i was 18 (currently still working as customer support with Italian and English for bwin.party). Basically i work to help my family and provide myself with all the things I need to get closer to my goals in life.

I'm an artistic and creative person, I like all kinds of art, but most of all Music. I prefer faster and more "heavy" genres, such as Metal, Punk, Rock, Drum and bass, Dubstep, but I also like Reggae, Jazz, Country and so on.

I have an acoustic, an electric and a bass guitar, which I use to play for fun and also to compose music. I also compose electronic music on my PC.

I also find video games to be one of the best art ever, since it's the only one that really makes you trip out of the regular world.

I heard about Lucid Dreaming from the book "Space of variations" written by Russian Physician Vadim Zeland (amazing, life changing book!). I then started to read materials on the internet regarding LD and I started practicing it a month ago.

I still haven't experienced a LD, but at least I can recall a dream every night, so I think I'm getting very close.

The reason why I want to master LD is pretty obvious. I think that it's the greatest source of inspiration and mental fulfillment I could ever find! It will help me stimulate my creativity, experience things I've always wanted to do, but cannot be done in the real world (society won't like it at all ). And of course, because it's a new experience and I'm entering a new world, so exciting, so unknown, surprising and at the same time creepy. In other means, explore, explore and explore it again.

PS: the forum and website are awesome! You have really done an amazing job!
