Thread: Hello

Welcome to Dream Views! 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!!!



This post is the same one I try to send to all new members. Please forgive the unoriginality of it. You can also PM me any time you would like to. I promise to give your further posts much more personal attention.

Have fun and good luck with your dreaming!

Welcome to DV, Alderrea! And congratulations on those lucid successes. I would suggest, you keep doing whatever it is you are doing for now because it seems to be working well for you. Of course, it never hurts to work on improving even more, and you will find lots of good advice on how to do that on this forum, I think. please share your lucid experiences with us as we love to read such stuff, and feel free to ask any questions.

Hey JonnaB & Sivason, thanks for the welcome. Hope to cross paths on the other threads, till then...

Same age as me! I went about ten years or so with no lucid dream, and then I had two last week. Hopefully it won't take ten more years for my next two. One of them was accidental, probably triggered by fitful sleep in a shared hotel room. The other was deliberate, achieved by sleeping as late as possible on a Saturday morning and letting myself fall in and out of sleep. I know reality checks are a big deal, but they never seem to work for me. I just have to notice something really odd.
