Thread: Mathias reporting in

Hello dreamers!

My name is Mathias. I'm 21 years old, living in Kristiansand Norway

I stumbled across this forum last night while googling and reading a few articles, and decided that your community is very appealing so I thought I'd make a profile!

I first got into lucid dreaming when I entered one purely by accident. Well, it was a regular dream, and I remember reacting to something very strongly. "This isn't right, something's fishy here." After this, everything surged into focus as I realized I was dreaming! I had no idea this was even possible. I remember looking at my surroundings and moving my dream body. This only lasted a few seconds, I got so exhillerated and excited that I popped awake again. I didn't realize what happened until a couple of years after when I learned what lucid dreaming was and that you could control it.

So, I recently decided to make an effort out of this and started my journey of controlling my dreams. The 12th of september I started journaling my dreams, which I could only remember fragments of. For a couple of weeks now I've been able to vaguely remember a couple of things, perhaps some short events, only spanning over a few seconds. Last night was a milestone for me, as I this morning was able to write a full page in my notebook about my dream! I also frequently reality check, become fully conscious and question reality several times a day.

So as you can see, I just started my dreaming journey and am definitely making progress. I have yet to achieve full lucidity, but I'm confident that this forum will help me achieve my goal of flying over the south pacific!

Hi there Mathias and welcome to DV!

It's great that you have decided to keep track of your dreams and are seeing improvement in recall. The dream journal is a very important tool that will help you track your progress for lucid dreaming. It also helps you learn which items are reoccurring in dreams (dream signs), over time you will gather a list of such items that will clue you that you may be dreaming. If you are interested, I would recommend signing up for the intro class that we have here.

I like your goal of flying over the south pacific! With some practice, I am sure we will be reading about adventures like this and many more from you. See you around and sweet dreams!

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.

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?
