Hey

[citruspsyche]

Hi everyone! I've been having lucid dreams since I was little. That when I remember having almost one dream every night. Nowadays (I'm 22) about 50% of my dreams are lucid, although they're not as vivid as they used to be. What made me register to this website are OBEs. I've read about those some time ago and had 1-3 week attempts several times over the last 2 years, but I've never had any success. The closest I've got to it was a couple of days ago when I was dreaming that I was having an OBE. I say this because I remember the scene of me stuck to the ceiling lasting just a second and it had to sense of reality to it. It was very non-lucid. I've never had sleep paralysis and never felt any strong vibrations. I know some people that have had OBEs and I know they have irregular sleep patterns and are anxious. They also get paralyzed often. Are people with this kind of issues more prone to having OBEs? So if you guys have some tips for me I'd gladly accept them. Thanks for reading my long first post!

Darnet, another natural! Oh well, welcome to Dreamviews! I have had 3OBEs and one of them started with me staring at my ceiling from 10inches away. I got it when trying to WILD. Check out the Beyond dreaming forum, which is dedicated to OBEs and stuff. Just post your question there, you will get some replies. There is no need for Sleep paralysis - condition when you can't move at all. Some who get SP may use it to OBE, but there is so many other ways to OBE. Vibrations or any other hypnagogic hallucinations are more likely, when you doing WILD. As far as I can tell, your lucids were DILD. Here is a great WILD (sageous) tutorial Looking forward to your posts. Happy dreams

Hey gab, thanks for your reply! Looks like you're quite active here. What's your story? I'm one of the Dream Guides here and they make us do it. Haha, just kidding As you will find out, this is the most active lucid dreaming forum out there, and some of us got addicted to it. You can identify these addicts by people asking them: "Hey, you quite active. What's your story?" hehe My name is gab, and I'm a lucid dreamer. Also like to OBE or just enjoy my hallucinations as falling asleep. (really looking forward for my potential employer finding this).
