Another Dreamer

I have had the occassional experience of lucid dreaming since I was a little kid, about 6 years old; usually this has only included the ability make myself fly or to escape nightmares by forcing my inner eyes to close (plunging myself into utter darkness). This was much more frequent when I was a kid, but I still have a very high dream recall ability and a passion for all things symbolic and archetypal. I study psychology, practice astrology and recently began keeping a dream journal for interpretation/self-reflection. I would love to learn to become lucid more often for the purpose of further self-discovery, spiritual enlightenment, and to solve some confusing personal issues I'm going through... In short, I'm here to learn and grow and meet likeminded folk with similar interests and skills! I am looking forward to spending time here! :}

I hope to save you some time by giving you a link to a thread we all put together on the topic Sleep Paralysis. There has been so much misinformation and confusion on this topic, that after a few days on the sight, you would surely run into confusing statements refering to SP. Save yourself some frustration and read this post if you want to know about SP, http://www.dreamviews.com/f79/sleep-...lained-136993/


Now, on the lighter side, you may be excited to learn to fly! Here is a thread where people explain how they went about learning to fly, http://www.dreamviews.com/f14/can-u-...u-learn-40468/

Then just for a laugh here is a thread where people list all the things they want to do in an LD. It is mostly light hearted and supposed to be funny, http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/1000-t...-dream-104556/


Have fun and good luck with your dreaming!
