hello

[Dareloth]

i figure i should do this. i used this site five years ago or so but couldn't remember my screen name and i don't have a clue what email address i had back then. so here i am again! really five years is long enough for me to forget almost everything i read on here (and i only actively used this forum for a couple of months) and certainly for everyone to have forgotten about me (i didn't really do much but post a few questions about how to lucid dream... like everyone else lol!). anyway hello... again! glad to see this site still exists. i'm practicing lucid dreaming again for spiritual and philosophical reasons as opposed to adventurous ones like i was years ago. i want to find my spirit guide, access the akashic records, learn to reach enlightenment in the dream state, and lots more. i'm a skeptic about most things but inside the mind there is no such thing as "false" and "real" it's all mind so it's all relative! if your mind can make an "akshic library" and it's a link to your subconscious or (sweet ambition) the 200,000 years of instinct in the human brain then that's good enough for me! i'm also very open to new information. just because i'm skeptical doesn't mean i don't want to believe in things or that i will refuse them. most things i cannot find direct proof for i just leave open. if someone asks me if i believe in reincarnation i say "i'm not sure. i have no reason to believe in it but i leave it open." and so on with other similar questions. i'm a minor expert in theravada buddhism (key word "minor", i don't know everything and compared to a major expert i know very little! , i know a little about zen, and a tiny bit about vajrayana and have read a book or two on dream yoga. other than that i'm just some guy, i love movies, books and every now and then i like video games. i love studying culture and religion, history, and space/the universe!

Welcome back! Having another account is against the rules, but I'm not sure if it matters so far into the future tbh, the worst thing that can happen is they'll delete your old account. Anyways, here's a part of the forum you'll love, check it out if you haven't already: Beyond Dreaming Got any regular dreaming questions? The Dream Guide Team is here to help you out with that, so ask away!

Glad you decided to get back into it. I hope you continue to stay motivated and practice lucid dreaming and achieve your goals. If you need any help or have any questions, just ask. You can also send me a private message. oops. well to the powers that be i wholly and sincerely apologize for this transgression. i did not know and i'm sorry, i have no way of finding my old account, nor do i know what my old email was. please do not kick me out or anything. Just contact a moderator and they can track it down by your IP address. (If you have the same one). Then you are given the option to delete the new account and keep the old one or vice versa.
