IM NEW!

good evening ladies and gentlemen, i just joined this seemingly wonderful community of people who know how to dream. I have been fascinated by dreaming since i was young, and always was excited to tell everyone i came in contact with the incredible experiences that i had had the night before. i have remembered lucid dreams before, but i never knew that it was such a known thing. i just accepted it as some sort of special dream that id have every once in a while which was always really cool and interesting - very recently i had the most extreme example of a [what ive now learned is called a] lucid dream that i have ever had. i made myself teleport basically, and then flew over the atlantic ocean carrying a conversion van owned by the SWAT team, after i made it fly and myself and we got over ocean for a while, i freaked out and woke up. . . but still i told people about it and such, and it was on my mind. i walked into a book store and started to read some book about mental tactics of improvement or something and that is when i first heard the word lucid. I then did online research and found this splendid little site and have read the whole thing and i just typed a very long paragraph into one of the messages for you guys to read . . which you are doing, anyway. Most recently (last night) i gained lucidity in a dream that was part of a dream, and controlled what i wanted, i first gained lucidity, freaked out and it started to fade, i somehow remembered what i read about dream spinning, except i wouldnt physically spin for some reason, but i closed my eyes and when they opened i was in a bathroom somewhere and then somehow i broke the shower head and caused the bathroom to flood, at which time people in the next room started to yell about 'what was going on in the bathroom'. then i opened the bathroom door to see 2 kids standing there trying to find out what was going on in the bathroom .. . the first kid had a knife, and i dont know if he wanted to stab me or anything, but somehow [i was still in control at this point btw but i have no idea why my consciousness made me go into a bathroom] anyway i somehow used my mind to throw a bar of soap at the knife
knocking it from his hand and then . . . this was amazing like just thinking about it gives me chills . . . but anyway i wanted to get out of the house, and at the time the only thing i could think of doing was to fly over them, because they and i had just been amazed that i threw soap with my mind, anyway so i go to fly over them and the whole world seemed to feel like liquidy and i just flew right over them through the door frame and too the front door, i then woke up inside of my dream and eventually woke up in reality.

~ so now that ive shared my most recent dream experience, i hope that i can gain more control of my dreams and be able to experience some of the things that people talk about on this site. i am amazed at this and feel like i am going unto uncharted psychological territory. anyway, i have no idea what anyone would comment about to this post, but let's hear it. thanks for taking the time to read all of this. :D

Hey, welcome to the forums...

This is the place to learn to gain that control, believe me, its helped me alot....

Good luck with it.

Welcome to the forum akathenose, anticipate you will enjoy your time on Dream Views, its a wonderful community of people with 'different' ideas surrounding "Life, The Universe and Everything" but we all have the same mutual interest in Lucid Dreaming.

You could start a "Dream Journal" it might help to increase your chances of attaining and controlling Lucidity.

HELLO AND WELCOME.................. akathenose :)

Just as Mystical Journey advised and from what I have read it sounds like maybe you should begin a dream journal in this forum. Wich is in your profile section. It looks as if you have had and will have many very exciting experiances.
Everytime I turn around another experiance that blows my mind happens.
And going into uncharted psychological territory. You certainly are! But you can learn a lot. :D
