Hi, I'm new to DV and LD. Also have Questions and an Experience to Share
Hi!
I'm new to DV. (Like that wasn't already obvious!) I found this site through searching around online. I was trying to find the best site, and DV is it. : ) I liked exploring the site, and starting my online DJ. (Already has 2 posts.) I also have my physical paper DJ in my bedroom. I don't know how I first got interested in LD, but I think it was because of Wikipedia. There are so many links in the articles and before you know it your reading about something totally unrelated. So far I have been trying WILD and just started also trying FILD. Last night was the closest I had ever got due to WILD, but I did something pretty stupid. I thought I heard my phone receive a text and I got distracted since I figured there was the possibility it was actually my phone.. If I knew for sure it wasn't I wouldn't have gotten distracted. Well, to calm my self I just had to check my phone... and in the process mess up my best chance yet. Lose lose situation : (
Well tonight I'm going to try the W/FILD techniques again.
I do have a question:
How important is it that I try to do these things during REM or just as REM is starting?
And so how do I calculate my sleep cycles and figure out when REM will occur? (Since I know age matter's I will say that I'm a teenager.)
If you want to know about the first two times I had a LD you should go to my About Me Bio. I was young when they happened and both intentional... and also very short! Now that I think of it, I was also unintentional lucid. The setting was the atrium of a cruise ship and it was tipping and I started to lose my lucidity. Now that I think of it (hehe), I may of had a fourth lucid dream that involved escalators and platforms! I know I was lucid during it. I love how my mind works! Thinking about certain thoughts allows me to remember other thoughts! somehow...
ANYWAYS, I have had many dreams that would built off of a previous dream that had occurred weeks or months in the past. I would remember facts or ideas from the first dream and place was also very much the same. Is that normal? I know for a fact that these are separate dreams, NOT my mind just thinking I was like there before. I said that because what I just said it NOT is happens to other people, and for them, that what it is.
Anyways, I might sign up to be adopted. From the few things you know about me, would that be something that I should do?
I think I'm forgetting something, I'll post it if when I remember and thanks for taking the time to read this.
