Thread: Hello; is anybody out there?

Hey everyone,

I'm Drak', you can call me Doug... o-or you can call me Drak. I really don't mind.

I'm an 18 year old Scottish lad, currently in north-western England (boo, hiss!). I've been trying to Lucid Dream on-and-off for a good few months now, with very little success along the way. Only just now am I really settling in to *really* trying, rather than trying for a few days and then getting distracted and forgetting about it.

I've had only a few lucid dreams before, and they've all been very short, as in, I'll realise I'm dreaming, and within about 10 seconds or so, I'll wake up, or have a false awakening, followed by waking up shortly thereafter. I've also had the problem of still not really feeling like I have control in these short spouts of lucidity, and I question myself as to whether I was lucid, or if I dreamt I was lucid (if such a thing is even possible).

A couple of nights ago I had my most successful lucid dream yet, as I tried to speak to a dream character and ask about myself and my dream, but the dream character just ended up walking away with a confused look on their face. At least... I hope I was dreaming.

So, yeah, ugh... that was all rather useless information. I'm hoping to really improve my dream recall and begin getting serious with lucid dreaming, and hopefully I can find some great assistance at this site, as it looks "cool as hell".

Hope to speak to some of you soon!
