New member here. Hello.

Just arrived to this forum, glad to be here. Been looking for resources on Lucid Dreaming for a while now. Some backstory: In the last nine or so months I've gradually changed my perspective of things and have come to realize that, indeed "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio" than what the eye can see. I've grown very interested in the entire phenomenon of the mind, inner space, etc. I used to be able to have Lucid Dreams, back when I was younger, during my early teenage years. However, around age 17 or 18 I stopped being able to. I have no idea if it had anything to do with the more pessimistic/nihilistc point of view I started nourishing and that grew and grew until just a year or so ago, but I lost all ability of control. However, my dream recollection ability remained almost intact. I still can remember details from dreams I had years ago. I hope I can get some nice tips and stories from the folks here, it's an ability a miss and hopefully will help me have a better understanding of my mind. Let's dream now!

Welcome to Dreamviews. I have heard this from others, that they lost the ability to naturally have lucid dreams, as they got older. Well, that just means, than now you'll have to work for it. Here is a Beginner's guide I recommend to start with. It will tell you about different induction techniques. You are free to choose any, but just so you know, DILD is the easiest one, at least untill you have little more experience. Details about techniques are in our DV Wiki and in the forums. If you interested in getting some personalized guidance, look at the DV Academy. Of course, you can always post your questions or experiences in the forums. Happy dreams

I have no idea what views you are talking about but now you have the Dreamview (haha) and that should be enough to induce some awareness in your dreams. If you need any help just contact us or start a thread. Sweet dreams

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys I'll probably open a thread on the discussion forum about something that I am testing and in fact gave me a positive result last night, not exactly lucidity, but a positive result in as much getting into my subconscious the right data that will help me realize I am dreaming. I'm still working around the rough edges of the hypothesis, so we'll see how it goes tonight. Sweet dreams!
