      Um Hello everyone!

      Hello there everyone! My name is Blizzardsky, but feel free to call me Blizz or Blizzy or whatever you'd like.
      I'm pretty shy and usually keep to myself, so I think my dreams really give me a chance to be outgoing and explore the things I love to do. I'm also an artist and I love to draw or sketch pictures of things I see in my dreams.
      I've only been lucid a few times (Maybe twice?) but I have a strange ability to recall some dreams I've had years ago, even if I wasn't lucid in them. I would love to be able to dream lucidly whenever I please, and possibly learn how to Astral Project and maybe even dream share with one of my best friends (we both agreed this would be amazingly cool considering she lives a few hundred miles away from me and we only get to visit once a year).

      I would also love to be able to Lucid dream as sort of an escape from reality. I've been suffering from depression for a while, and when I get towards the end of my rope i usually end up just going to sleep because that's really the only state where I can forget about all of my problems and just be myself.

      One more question I have is is it possible to have control over what you do in a dream without being lucid? Is there some sort of half lucidity that can be achieved? The reason I ask is because more and more in my dreams, I've known I had the ability to fly. It's like it carries over between all of my dreams somehow? It's not the usual type of flying however, I have to "flap" (I use that term loosely because there isn't really a way to describe it) my arms and such to be able to fly, I don't just float or anything, but I can glide and things like that. I usually end up just using it to propel myself into a higher vantage point in a dream.

      I would also love to learn more about things like dream guides and the dream plane. I've only heard of such things just recently, but it sounds like an amazing experience.

      Thanks to all of you for welcoming me into the community, and I hope I'll be able to learn lots from all of you!

      Welcome to DV, Blizzardsky! Are you ethnically Polish (given the ending of your screen name)? I ask because I am originally from Poland myself.

      It sounds like you are interested in learning how to have lucid dreams more consistently -- one good place to start for that is http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-methods-techniques/ and another is http://www.dreamviews.com/dv-academy/

      A lot of the subjects you are interested in such as astral projection and shared dreaming are often discussed in the Beyond Dreaming section of this forum http://www.dreamviews.com/beyond-dreaming/

      If you would like to share any of your art, we've got the Artist's Corner, over here http://www.dreamviews.com/artists-corner/

      I hope though that you will explore the rest of the forum as well because there is a lot of cool stuff in all kinds of different subforums. Enjoy! Looking forward to interacting with you more.
      You may say I'm a dreamer.

      Hey there, welcome to DV! I hope that you enjoy your time spent on the forums.

      To answer your question about dream control: lucidity does not mean that you are controlling the dream, it just means that you're conscious you are dreaming. Similarly, just because you control your dream does not mean that you are lucid. Dreams can trick you into thinking that you have some sort of god-like power and that's how you can (for example) fly, and so you control where you fly at but you're not necessarily lucid.

      But is there a "half-lucid" state? You can say that the rule is that if the dream world doesn't come in clearly and vividly once you realize you are dreaming then you are only half-lucid, or partially lucid, but lucid nonetheless.

      Enjoy your time here!

      Thank you both for the advice! I'll make a point of reading more of those links when I have the chance, but the info I've found here already is amazingly helpful.

      -JoannaB I am actually from Kaliningrad,Russia, however I was adopted as a baby and taken to the USA, so I have no recollection of anything in Russia or anything like that :3

      -CNGB Thanks for clearing that up for me! I appreciate it!
