      Hey

      Quite frequently in searching I have stumbled upon this site. I have read many fascinating stories on dreaming, which has prompted me to register so I can not only share mine but discuss with others their experiences!

      I'm not exactly what you would call 'new' to the concept of lucid dreaming; I first became interested in such phenomena along with others around almost 10 years ago, but I will admit that I have progressed quite slowly until recently. I have been meditating for almost a year now, and although I was not really doing it properly from the very start, I believe that I have now improved greatly, and that it is helping me with the vividity of my dreams.

      So, I would truly love to share my experiences and learn from others on this wonderful site!

      Thanks

      Welcome!

      I am also going to learn meditation. I hope it will help me with LDing after I learn it.

      Have you tried any LD induction techniques? How many LDs have you had? Ask if you have any issue.

      I wish you to have many great LDs .
      DILD: 123 ; WILD: 10 ; DEILD: 9

      Thanks

      As for the LD induction techniques, I have not so much tried inducing for lucidity itself. I used to try using various techniques such as WILD etc, but I found that rather than concentrate on lucidity I should be concentrating on vividity. Recently, I have been doing an 'experiment', with the vividity in my dreams and the mental state I am in upon awakening. I find quite often that on mornings where I feel like I have not dreamed at all, my mind is quite noisy and distracted, and as a result I have difficulty falling back to sleep. While when I have mornings where I have woken up from very vivid dreams or even lucid ones, my mind is quiet and focused. I came to the conclusion from this that there is a correlation between awareness and dream vividity/recall. It's my understanding that if one does not pay attention to their senses while they are in waking life, then they will not pay attention to their senses in their dream environments. Therefore, the meditation has been a great way for me to practice this, and to silence and calm the useless noise that runs through my mind, distracting me from my awareness.

      How many LDs have I had? I would be lying if I said I could remember . There are times where I often find myself lucid in a dream, but I have not kept count. As far very vivid dreams are concerned, I seem to be dreaming vividly pretty much each night. For instance, this morning I woke up after many different 'storylines' of dreaming.

      Thanks again

      Edit: I have also just noticed that this site has an excellent dream journals section, so I could write more about my dreams in there perhaps.
