I re-discovered Dreamviews, and decided to come back for good !
Hello,
Today is a good day ! As you can see, I'm registered on this website since January 2008... and only have one message.
The reason is simple : Back then, I discovered lucid dreaming for a mysterious reason that I can't remember now, but I'm sure it involved random interesting readings and link-following on the Internet, since it's something that eats-up most of my spare time !
I remember that I was so excited about this new thing : controlling my dreams seemed like the perfect entertainment and mental-skill to learn.
So I read everything I could to get the basic knowledge and principles, and started "practicing", but with studies etc. I didn't really got into it "seriously". I once tried to keep a "dream journal", but it ended up with only 2 or 3 written dreams... then I must have stumbled upon another "omg so interesting stuff" (yeah, I'm interested in pretty much everything, you could say it's almost an handicap >.< ), and forgot about LD for a time. And when it came back to my thought, it was already too late, I lost motivation and paused for too long.
Since then, I've had some periods when I thought about Lucid Dreaming when talking about it with friends, and that I should read again some material, maybe come back to Dreamviews but... eh, busy life.
I even had ONE (and only :/) Lucid Dream that was totally unvoluntary. I was dreaming about a "carnival" (sorry for my bad english, I'm not sure this is the right word), where I drove a bumper car. Then suddenly the car left its "terrain" and I drove it along the car road. And this is when I realised:
"-Heyy... but WAIT. That is NOT possible. !? I must be dreaming [...] YEAH, I am dreaming, and I know it \o/, OMG I can do everything I waaaant". But I was so happy about becoming lucid that I wake up after 10 seconds at most :lol: ! Such a shame. But I was happy that I had my first LD.
Then... busy life again :/
But I was sure that one day, I'll get into it for real !
And this day has come !
Since I have a job as a programmer for 3 months, I had some bad nights (lot of waking up during the nights), and it happened to be a good thing, because I remembered a lot of my dreams.
And yesterday, after seeing a video about the explanation of final-scene of Inception, I remembered about this "sleeping mask" called Remee that I saw on Kickstarter and decided to search for reviews. I must say I was a bit disappointed, it doesn't seem to be worth the 100$+shipping to Europe
So here I am, back to the good old inductions techniques tutorials :D. And this time, it's decided, and it's the reason of this looooong and useless message : I will not stop trying after 3 days, and practice until I have consistent Lucid Dreams :)
So, enough said ! If you think I'm right and that I should stick to it... advice me any source of motivation and success that helped you, and I'd be glad to participate in this forum, howeved small my contribution is :)
For now, I'll start lurking everything I can find in the Introduction zone and elsewhere to start on the right track :)
PS: a question for moderators. Could it be possible to change my username on the forum ? This one is an oooold (and ugly) nickname that I no longer use.
