Hi, just thought I should introduce myself briefly.

I came to this site as I thought it would be the best place to get advice on what I believe was a false awakening (posted in general lucid discusssion - correct place I hope). The experience did scare me quite a lot, but after searching the web and looking on this site, I wonder if it could be an opening to start dreaming lucidly.

The experiences I have had with dreams are sleep paralysis once in my life, a few dream orgasms (this is when I'm most aware that I'm dreaming, as I can feel the... feeling building up and, I hope this isn't too graphic or rude, but my hand is no where near myself and my finger tends to do the movements as if I were pleasuring myself, and I am very aware of it) and a few times when I have not been able to control my dreams but walk around in them and be aware of the surroundings. When I was younger, I used feel very vividly and very often that I was flying down the stairs, with a weightless feeling in my stomach, and once across my school hall!

These are the only sort of experiences I've had, and looking through this forum and website, I think I would really like to start trying to dream lucidly.

Anyway, that's my hello, so, hello!
