Thread: New to site but not new to ...

Hello,

I am new to this website, in fact, new to any site that involves or has to do with dreaming. I've been having lucid dreams, out of body experiences, re-occurring dreams (in which i realize they are re-occurring and I navigate through them differently) and most nights I'm aware that I'm dreaming and have a pretty fair amount of control in my dreams and what i can do or say in them. And through the years I've also had dreams of places that I'd never been, but would come to years later in which it was an exact replica of what I'd seen in my dream (with the exception of visual details, like graffiti and debris). So I finally decided to join one but not because I need help on lucid dreaming or out of body dreams or any of those, but to really understand more about why I have them and possibly what they could mean. I'm 27 now and I've been having them for more than 15 years and I don't see them stopping anytime soon, so I figured that I'd understand more about it. I don't know much about this site, or if this is the right site do get any kind of answers, but I figure the best place to start is somewhere where people have a good understanding of this in any form.

Hello there Civetadei!

Yes, you came to the right place, whether you want to ask questions, share experiences, engage in discussions, or just have a good time around ^^
The science of lucid dreaming, despite growing in these years, is still quite small, so it's still hard to answers questions as to why certain people (like yourself) have such an easy time achieving lucidity. Well, maybe it's just something like a different array of neuronal connections, after all, lucidity is a brain state with specific activations ^^ Or who knows, maybe it's just due the fact that you possess some high degree of awareness. No one knows for sure, since there are so many theories on why we dream, and probably quite a few on why we lucid dream as well

Anyway, nice to meet you ^^
