I'm 31 years old living in Sweden.

When I was six, I had been reading a Donald Duck comic where someone pinched their arm asking "Am I dreaming?". I was intrigued by the idea of knowing whether I was dreaming or not and tried it out myself a few times. Pretty soon I had my first lucid dream.

Next time I was 21, starting to get interested in meditation and such. I had been reading a bit about lucid dreaming on the internet and wanting see if I could do it again. I still used the arm pinching technique (which I've heard isn't supposed to work very well, but it worked for me.) I didn't find the experience as overwhelming as people usually describe it. Maybe that's why I didn't bother to keep trying.

Recently I've gotten into it again after seeing the movie Waking Life and reading the book Experiencing the World of Lucid Dreaming. Yesterday I had a lucid dream again. This time I got lucid from a dream sign. I will tell you about the dream in another post. Anyway, this time I feel ready to keep trying.

Well, thats the short version of me...
