[TheBigZ]

Hello Dream-views Although im not entriely new i haven't been active in a very long time and the reason for this is because i have moved houses and have became insanely busy and sleep and rest had been a bit of a problem as my sleeping patterns were never stable enough to actually practise lucid dreaming well now im telling all that i have returned and plan to take this hobby more seriously instead of it being a side thing i just want to thank @paigeyemps for all her assistance and that im back. and ready to focus i got my dream journal ready and all that and im reading over the threads to re-learn all the basic reality checks and hopefully this time round i will be able to share my story of my focused lucid dream more sooner thank you to all for keeping this site active and allowing it to be a continuously avaliable and dependant reference for those who are into the art of lucid dreaming my workbook: http://www.dreamviews.com/intro-clas...ml#post2052072

Welcome to Dream Views! (In your case Welcome Back!)This is the place to be for anyone wanting to learn how to lucid dream. The Dream Guide team is here to help you navigate the forum and answer questions. They all have 3 green stars above their avatar. Click on our user name and you can then select private message if you have a question, or you can start new threads. Don't worry about starting threads that have been started before, just try it out, if it ends up in the wrong place one of us can move it for you. One thing you can do in a post is place a link to another thread. I have done this below. You can click on the colored words to see the new thread. Start with this extra basic one, it will help you read the acronyms in other posts, Help With Acronyms For Complete Beginners After that one the very first thing you should do is check out basic tutorials. This one covers most of the terms you will see members using in much more depth, so start here, The Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming The next thing I suggest you do is to check out the tutorials on specific techniques that the staff have written here, Induction Methods and Techniques. All of these tutorials are written in a very stream lined fashion, and contain just the basic fundamental steps you will need to get started. Also be sure to check out the DVA Dream Views Acadamy, click on this link to get there, DV Academy. Lots of classes are offered on a range of topics. If you are new to LDing then join the intro class, Intro Class. In that class you start your own work book in which you can ask for help on any part of the LDing process you don't understand or are having trouble getting. A whole group of helpful people will read your questions and offer their help. I hope to save you some time by giving you a link to a thread we all put together on the topic Sleep Paralysis. There has been so much misinformation and confusion on this topic, that after a few days on the sight, you would surely run into confusing statements refering to SP. Save yourself some frustration and read this post if you want to know about SP, Sleep Paralysis Explained Now, on the lighter side, you may be excited to learn to fly! Here is a thread where people explain how they went about learning to fly, Can U Fly/ How Did You Learn? Then just for a laugh here is a thread where people list all the things they want to do in an LD. It is mostly light hearted and supposed to be funny, 1000 things to do in a lucid dream!!! Have fun and good luck with your dreaming!
