I am Stiffy.

Hey there! My name is Stiffy (for real) and I've been interested in lucid dreaming for a few years now. I don't really remember how it all started, but I believe it was around the first time I did a hallucinogenic drug. It's been an odd journey which I've been a part of on and off for around five years. When I started out it didn't take me long to have a lucid dream and my first attempts those handfull of years ago were quite fruitful. Then I met a woman whom I loved dearly and instead of delving into myself and my dreams, I put all my energy into her. Sad to say I more or less completely stopped practicing the art of lucid dreaming. Now we are in a sort of hiatus and I started doing all the things I quit when I met her; meditation, lucid dreaming, excersising and alot of other things. It's a feeling of melancholy that I surrendered so much of the things I liked on my own initiative... But enough about that. Once again I have embraced the whole concept of lucid dreaming and decided to reach out to the community of lucid dreamers that I once dismissed, wanting to be the eagle that flies solo... and here I am. I probably won't be a part of the community to any extended degree, although I enjoy reading and browsing this website, but it is just not in me to post and partake in the discussions, as I feel that someone most of the time is quicker than I to say what needs to be said. ...and with that, I now go to browse and post a thread on my current conundrum on the subject of lucid dreaming. Well met!

Hey Stiffy, welcome to the forum! It seems like a fair amount of DV members have experimented with some sort of substance. I'm not sure if most people's interest in LDing developed after experimenting with questionably legal substances, or if LDing made them more open to experimentation. Regardless, welcome! There's certainly no obligation to post here. Hopefully DV serves as a very trusty and reliable resource for you. People who are active on the forums find DV helpful in maintaining motivation though. Good luck in your endeavors!
