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! :}
