So, uh... I'm new to this website so I figured I might aswell introduce myself because I plan to stick around. Not sure what the community here is like, but so far I like what I see. You all seem pretty chilled guys/gals/(other?)
So yeah, I found this website through an interest in lucid dreaming and achieving lucidity. I've yet to have a lucid dream of my own, though. The closest I came was changing a dream character's appearance (to be more... aesthetically pleasing, let's say). I done this successfully, and on some level I knew I was dreaming; but alas, my logical brain was nowhere to be found and I done nothing about it. I then woke up shortly after... perhaps because of the subconscious semi-realisation? If I woke up from that, I'd hate to think how quickly I'd wake up in a fully conscious realisation! Suffice to say, I woke up very frustrated.
I'm specifically interested in Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming and its effects. I've tried several time but I get scared when I start to see hypnogogic imagery and the feeling of a malevolent presence in my room, and force myself out of it. I'm thinking of riding it out but the tales of the hypnogogic hallucinations terrify me. A YouTuber (GizEdwards, check him out) who makes videos on lucid dreaming claims he saw the girl from 'The Ring', so it's kinda put me off a bit! To keep this thread from being a boring tale of my uneventful experiences, does anyone have any advice on this?
So, that about wraps things up, I guess. Looking forward to seeing you all around.
TL;DR: Hello. I'm new. I like this site. Bye.
