Hi everyone,

I'm new to DV so here's a little about me.

I've had LDs periodically since childhood and enjoyed them greatly. The first one I remember having I took control of a recurring nightmare. Wasn't until my mid-twenties that I discovered techniques for inducing LDs. I was so excited! I was surprised at the quantity, duration, and details I started remembering, and I had pretty good results with MILDs. I used LDs to deal with nightmares, but the really great thing about it was that a whole new world opened up to me.

Then I started taking a medication that interfered with my dream recall, I think because it's so sedating. I went from amazing lucids to nothing. So I got frustrated and gave up. I eventually switched to the XR version that's way less sedating. I started remembering dreams and periodically recording them. I had one LD, not on purpose.

I've just recently found the motivation to work at LDing again. I've been keeping my DJ, and I'm hoping that getting involved here on DV will help get me back on track. I've been lurking around just trying to figure out how everything on the site works.
