My introduction and first experience!
Dear companions of lucidity,
In this short post I'd like to introduce myself. :D
My name is Bo, I'm 21 years young and having a lucid experience has always been on my bucket list ever since I heard about it when I was about 17.
I only tried lucid dreaming once back then with a friend, but we didn't have a lot of success. We read somewhere online that we should just go to bed like normal and we had to wake up for a few minutes in the middle of the night and go back to sleep. So we did.. and ofcourse it didn't work. Did I mention we were pretty baked? lol.
I never tried lucid dreaming again after that though I did think of it sometimes. Untill about 3 or 4 weeks ago I read some articles on lucid dreaming. I became very interested again because I wanted to try this for myself and I wanted to see if it is possible to solve real world issues in your dreams, like personal confrontations or problems concerning study.
So I kept a dream journal, read a lot about lucid dreaming, and tried different binaural beats in my bed. I also did about 2 or 3 reality checks every day; you could say I got pretty dedicated (though i'm sure not as dedicated as most of you are!!).
And this night the miracle happened: I had a lucid experience.:banana:
It was very different to what I had expected. But I will explain everything in detail in another post describing the lucid experience itself. I will post a link as soon as I made that thread!
Why did I join this forum? To exchange knowledge and share (lucid) dreaming stories, and to discuss possible real uses of lucid dreaming! I hope I'm at the right place!
