First off...hi!

I'm Taylor. I've been doing a lot of research on lucid dreams just within the past week and I instantly became so intrigued with it. I've recorded my dreams for the past five nights and have been able to recall majority of my dreams. And ever since I started doing reality checks, using audio binaural beats and other techniques my dreams have become more vivid and clear and a slight bit longer I've noticed. I have been using a dream journal to write everything down (and when I say write, I mean type because I have an app for my journal ). I have not become lucid, unfortunately, but I do know that it does take time. But I can't tell you how excited I am to actually have one. I believe I will become obsessed haha.

But anyway, I wanted to share what I felt this morning on the way to work. I read up a little on ADA and decided to try it, even though for 9 hours of my day I was at work today.

Today started off as an absolutely beautiful Saturday morning. I wish I hadn't had to work. As I started driving down the road, the way the sunlight peaked through the trees was just amazing. That's when everything seemed to have changed. I have taken these roads a million and two times and never before I had experience a drive like this. I had started to imagine what it might be like with no roads, what the landscape had looked like before construction took over it's beautiful roots. Slowly I felt cars melt away from view until I only knew which way to go because of muscle memory (which is somewhat scary, but I hadn't a care in the world). It didn't even feel like I was driving. It was as if I was either flying or running at a very fast pace. My car ride is almost 30 minutes long and it was one of the best 30 minutes of my life. I felt as if I was on a high...a high on life itself and its beauty. That's honestly the best way I am able to describe it, for there are no true words that could ever describe how happy I was this morning. Still even felt it a few minutes after I had started working.

Now I'm not sure how to truly practice ADA, but I'm pretty sure that this was a good start. Maybe I'll become lucid tonight? The past couple of days I've done a horrible job at remembering to do reality checks, but I do them whenever I think of them.

Can't wait to start meeting others and learning from everyone!
