Thread: Hello

Welcome to DV, Lactrodectus! I look forward to interacting with you on the forum.

Hey! Welcome!

I got into LDing to enjoy dreamscapes and to improve my dream incubation so that I could continue dreams old and new. Since I joined I have had so many more experiences than I ever did before in dreams. I actually just enjoyed an alien landscape last night... that was awesome.

As you learn about LDing I would recommend writing down goals and experiences so that you can feel more accomplishments. When trying to LD, getting discouraged is a big problem, if you have a ton of small goals and a few big goals, you can accomplish the small goals and maybe have a small reward for yourself at the end of those goals.

Good luck LDing. If you have any questions feel free to ask them. No questions are stupid questions if you don't know the answer.

Welcome!
I'm pretty certain that you will be amazed by the results of your Dream Journal. If you record your dreams consistenly, then the Dream Journal will be your best friend. Your dream recall will improve and your dreams become much more vivid. Drean Journals are just amazing
Oh yea, unable to remember awesome dreams... always a bad thought. I often know that there was a really cool dream and even though I have this one feeling about it (which I also note in my DJ) I simply can't recall the whole dream.... that can be really annoying at times.
Anyway... I'm sure you will find great stuff on DV that will help you accomplishing all your goals.

Good luck and sweet dreams.

Welcome to DV,
Lucid dreams are awesome, especially when you learn how to control them.
Interesting that you say you want to be able to give yourself terrible nightmares, I've never heard of that before.
Nice aspirations mna, keep up the good enthusiasm.
If you need any help feel free to Pm me, Brandon or Joanna

Hey dutch, I have always been a big fan of nightmares. One of my goals that I don't really pay attention to much is creating nightmares, been on the back burner because I am concentrating on sword art online right now.

I have never done it, but I know that hukif creates DCs with the ability to stop his powers and create fear in him. He also terrifies DCs on a regular basis through being a nightmare too them. Haha.

Hahaha in that sense I create nightmares for myself too. I frequently diminish my own power to give DC's a chance, it adds a welcome change to most of my dreams. I was talking about true nightmares, which can't really exist when you are good at lucid dreaming, the knowledge that you are completely in power removes the intensity that normal nightmares would have.
I would assume that if you have the ability to summon a nightmare in a lucid dream, then you must be fairly competent at lucid dreaming, so much so that you also know that you are not actually in danger.
A lot of the scariness from a regular nightmare is that you are not lucid and usually believe that your life is actually in danger.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everybody.
