Hello to All

Hi, Dreamviews, newbie here. I've had some "quick flashes" of lucidity before in my dreams, but never really had a prolonged lucid dream before where I could do whatever I want...I tend to lose lucidity quickly in my dreams if I ever get lucky enough to even achieve it. I remember one time, years ago, I was lucid enough to try to fly, but when I tried to jump up and down to take off, I just stayed put on the ground just like in real life. Perhaps I'm too grounded to reality even in my dreams? haha...hope I can learn some techniques and more lucid dream stuff from you all

Welcome to Dream Views You can learn a lot here! I really recommend looking at the wiki as the official information on the website is a great place to learn what people are talking about on the forums so you can really know what you want to ask and benefit even more from the answers. If you have trouble finding something let me know and I'll try to help.

Welcome to DV! WHEN you become lucid again, it will be an advantage to know the different stabilization techniques which you can find on this forum. Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Dreamviews, Exoblivione. I recommend you take a look at this Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming to get started. It will get you on your way to achieving lucidity. In order to stay lucid in your dreams longer, you have to stabilize the dream. Here's another tutorial on how to do that. As far as flying goes, look at my signature for a link to a flying tutorial. The main thing when it comes to dream control it confidence and believing it will happen. Good luck! If you have any questions, just ask.

Welcome to DV! It's kind of hard to let go of what's possible and what is not. You know that you can't fly in real life so when you try it in your dreams it's normal you have doubts. Don't worry, you'll get better with practice. If you're wondering about something, don't hesitate to ask!
