My Name is Petunia Skrebbles, and I found this forum by accident

[Petunia]

I was searching for something on Dog Pile search and within the lists of options I found one that sounded right and clicked on it and it brought me here. I am fascinated by the subject of lucid dreaming for a lot of reasons I won't bore you with right now and did not know it until I reached this site. I want to know more since, I seem to have two types of dreams, one type is what I call the repeater dream. There are several of those and I can remember them going all the way back to my childhood. The second type, I know I dreamed but I have no memory of it and as I get older that is the predominant dream condidition I am generally in. No memory of my dreams. I thought maybe I had lost the ability to dream. I also learned how to manipulate my dreams so I would not wake up if something happened and since one of my repeater dreams was about me falling out of a convertible going up a very steep hill, I had to do something because I would always wake up and I wanted to finish the dream. So whenever I fall out of the car, I say "this is a dream, I can fly if I want to. Then I do, and then since I am flying, I decide to go visit places, like the grand canyon. LOL I love that place, since I took a 9 day white water rafting trip from AZ to Nev and it was the best experience of my life. Another story for another time. Anyway, that is why I decided to join. I was a bit disappointed about the subject I did find that was a result of my dog pile search efforts. It seemed a poster put up a very good forum piece and had references etc, and everyone made fun of him. That made me nervous about how people react when they disagree with someone. I would like some reassurances that disagreeing is acceptable especially if someone has evidence the poster is wrong. I did not see any effort to prove the poster wrong and the source he used seemed to be valid, but no one proved otherwise. That was my only concern. I will wait til I get a response to know if this is a place for me, or if I am not the kind of person you would want here. Something like this should be mutual.

Petunia, I just joined this forum like you. You point out something that happens a lot, not just on the LD subject. People ridicule others when they either do not understand a topic being discussed, are jealous, or are simply miserable with their own life. I like to call these people "haters" and they are everywhere. Just go to a news site and read a very compelling and/or heartwarming story and read the comments below. There will always be those people who make nasty and unwarranted comments no matter how good something is. I think you will be happy here because this is a community where everyone seems to be working towards common goals. Best wishes to you. Gary

First of all I want to say thank you for all your comments that helps to reassure me that this a good place to be. I would like to know which thread would I place this problem with my dreams that I discussed above. I am sure I will have problems navigating until I get used to it, so if someone would point me in the recommended right direction, I would appreciate it. I am also interested in the theory that chemtrails and haarp are being used to interrupt our dream cycle. Has a thread on that subject been presented here yet? I hope I am not being a pest already. LOL

You're not being a pest, I think everybody here's friendly. I think this will be a good place to put those dreams (the convertible one sounds a lot like my first nightmare) and I haven't heard of that subject on here before but I'm not too active. It sounds like something obscure anyway, so I doubt it has a subject yet. This might be a good place to put it. Best of luck! -Feli

Actually, Petunia, I would recommend posting here for the chemtrails and haarp affecting dreams: http://www.dreamviews.com/f61/ Read the description of that forum at the top of the page.
