ok so this has probably been repeated to death in this forum many times but i am brand new to lucid dreaming (had my first last night) and want to learn how to use it to better my allround life. i managed to do what i think was a w.i.l.d. and w.b.t.b. (not great with the termenology but what happened was i had just finished a dream and woke up, thought about the dream for a minute and wote it down, and then as i was falling back to sleep i tried counting my breaths, somthing recomended to me by a friend, and after a while i just got this feeling that i could enter my dream, and i did) i realy enjoyed that dream but dident have a whole lot of controll over it so i decided to come to the forums here and see what i could learn. i have allready found some interesting things on the site and am looking forward to trying some tonight. now i realy have no idea whats what around here and would love some directions or sugestions around the site. i am realy hoping that this site will help bring me closer to the wonderfull world of lucid dreaming, and maybe i can make some freinds in my quest. anyway i guess thats my intro thanks for reading a very long drawn out, half sleeping, post.
