Sorry for the akwardness perpetuated by my title but I'm too much of an attention seeking dick to just go with a simple "hi!".

I had first learned about lucid dreaming while I was looking for information on how to enhance my sleep which had always been disturbed. What I read enraptured me: the idea of being fully concious and even manipulative of a world within my own head. At the time, I was a major gamer and to me, lucid dreaming was the ultimate virtual reality experience. Needless to say, I really wanted to learn it. Unfortunatly, due to poor consistancy, bad practices and downright laziness, I had clocked a total of one rather weak lucid plus a near miss. Recently, I have resolved to strive to pick a single technique and keep at it till I achieve the results I want. Joining dream-views should hopefully give me some healthy peer pressure to achieve my goals. As well as that, I have a scientific curiousity of the different possibilities and want to share some personal theories and possible experiments of mine that might reveal new avenues in the realm of lucid dreams. Of course without the personal expereance of actually being a proper oneironaut, those theories might as well be resting on clouds which according to this forum taste of cotten candy. Hmmmmm.... Tooth cavities...

Well to cap this all off, I hope that I don't become to much of a pain around here and after ransacking this place of its info, I'll eventually give something back. Thanks for reading this junk and its good to finally be a member!
