Hi all,

I'm very happy to learn of this online community.

I'm a 54 year old man who has had the infinite pleasure of a very rich alternate dream life with a semi-coherent story line that I started 20 years or so ago following some life-altering events. Before that I had several years where I would live the following day twice - once in my dreams, and then when I woke up the 'real' day would happen.

Before my coherent dream story began I used to dream very realistically about water rising around a house or over a road.

Once as a boy I remember falling out of bed as a dreamt I was falling into a dinosaur's mouth. One of my earliest memories.

My lucidity varies from very good to not at all/don't remember. Biggest issue for me is 'losing' the dream entirely a few moments after I wake up. About 15 years ago I began having my best/most favorite dreams; dreams of being able to move objects with my mind, and the ability to fly up through the air or right down into the earth. It seems when scientists talked about 99.9% of all atoms being empty space my subconscious took that and ran with it.

I am beginning the apple juice experiment as we speak. More to come. Now I'm off to read all your stories.
