Hey there. My name is Nathanael. I decided to join this forum today because I wanted to have a place where I could share my experiences, without having to explain myself, convince others, or feel like I was crazy. I have been having lucid dreams going on about 3 1/2 years. They began happening following a certain experience that took place, one that is, even within this group, difficult to understand. Let alone accepted. I had a night where, in the end, I lost my emotions. I lost my connection, strong and real, with God. I'm SURE that many here don't want to hear the "G" word, but understand I NEVER EVER EVER wanted to end up on a sight discussing lucid dreams, astral projection and all of that. But it turns out that this may very well be the only place I can get the feedback I'm looking for. I mean no offense by that, but I have been a Christian a long time, and even continue to after seeing in my dreams demons that tell me that God is done with me. It's a really crappy place to be. That being said, I wanted to introduce myself, and hopefully get acquainted with a few of you that could help me along this strange journey I've found myself. My dreams have varied in length, strength and lucidity. Though recently, it has become a very controlled experience. Again, I never sought out lucid dreaming, but I'm not going to off myself, so I figured I had better make some good of it. I've already posted my first dream journal from last night, and plan on posting every day. I will also reach back and post from the start of this nightmare, and look forward to becoming acquainted with you along the way.
