Greetings All

[Thoth]

I discovered this community a few days ago and have been scouring many of the tutorials... Needless to say, it was very easy to fall in love with this forum. Anyways, I have been actively and regularly practicing meditation for about 4 years now - meditation alone has changed my life completely. Many times in meditation throughout the years I have entered dream like sequences but it has never been consistent and never on purpose. Throughout this time I have also had many successful lucid dreams (meaning I've become aware I was dreaming and was able to change things in the dream i.e. make a car fly, rewind a destroyed tv back to normal etc..), but again, nothing has ever been consistent. I have come to the understanding that a lot of this inconsistency (for myself) has to do with diet and overall toxicity of the body (the body being the grounded material aspect of our 'vehicle'). Don't get me wrong, I also understand that intention plays a key role here as well and I am sure the list goes on... For me personally, where I am in my life I know the root for me is my health. I am currently taking MMS as a first wave of cleansing my body and already I can tell you I have had incredible success with how I have been feeling. I am also off of eating meat now, which I am finding gets less difficult with time. In any case, my next step right now is to pick up a journal to log my dreams in (which will also be posted on here as well). I am very excited and I know I am now ready for this and could not be more thrilled to find this community.

And we are thrilled that you have found us! Welcome to Dreamviews! Those are some nice observations you have made. Indeed some of our members do practice meditation on certain level. I know I would like to spend more time doing it, because I have also heard, that it helps not only with dreaming and lucid dreaming, but with overall life as well. Glad that you have already looked through the site and tutorials. Good luck, and let us know, if we can help with anything. Welcome Induction Methods and Techniques

Woohoo, another Texan!! *highfive* You are so right about just health overall being important for LDing. Good health means healthy sleep, which is necessary for dreams obviously. But good physical health also means a healthy mind. And a healthy mind can be a more focused mind. And focusing on awareness helps you get lucid If you're not eating meat however, please make sure you're getting plenty of plant based protein, and foods or supplements that contain iron and B complex. And whatever else herbivores are supposed to have Anyway, welcome to DreamViews Thoth!

Thank you both so much for the warm welcome! gab - I definitely recommend meditation to anyone interested, guided meditation and binaural beats are also what I would recommend to anyone with an interest in trying it out. Ophelia - Yes! A fellow Texan! I think you hit the nail on the head there regarding healthy body/mind. Also - no need to worry about me I have a holistic doctor I see regularly who advises me on what I eat :-] Thank you both again I am very happy and grateful to be here.
