Hi Joanna! Thank you for the warm welcome. My dream experiences vary greatly. About 40% of my dreams are lucid dreams, and the other 60% are kind of scary. It's hard to explain without typing out a very long post (and I will type one out in the appropriate forum eventually for discussion), but to give you an idea, it feels as if my consciousness is transferred to a different person. When I go to sleep here, I wake up somewhere else as someone else, for extended periods of time (which is the scary bit), s when I wake up here, it feels as if days, weeks, or even months have gone by, but it's only been one night. I was hoping to ask around and see if anyone else has had any similar experiences, but again, I will post more in the appropriate forums, and try to keep this one short and sweet for the purposes of introducing myself. I've checked out the IRC chat a bit, and spoke to a few people there, and I'm getting a feel for the community a bit, and I must say, I feel welcomed by everyone. I think this is exactly the type of community that I've been looking for. I keep a dream journal as well as a real journal, so I will start posting some of my dreams in a journal on here as well. Again, thank you all for the warm welcome, and I look forward to participating in the community a great deal!
