Hi, my name is Ryan. Though of course my username is actually Reporter.

I live in Alaska, Fairbanks. And yes, we do get 24/7 darkness during the winter months, which also sometimes can get to -50 degrees below zero.

I work as a reporter for the local news, thus the reason for my user name. My job can get pretty stressful sometimes, but I love it to death. I was hired for the position at 19 years old. I'm about to turn 21 in 2 weeks, so obviously it seems I'm doing a good enough job.

Lucid dreaming has always been interesting to me. I've tried it years ago with mixed results. The first lucid dream I recall was as a little kid. I had been having reoccurring nightmares of various monsters attacking me. On one particular dream, I was aware that I was dreaming and turned the creatures into harmless flowers, never to dream of them again. That's why I want to be conscious of my dreams now. I want to conquer my fears, learn new experiences without the pressure of those around me, and have fun while doing it.

I hope you guys can help me.
