Hi, my name is James and i've been looking into lucid dreaming for about 2-4 weeks now with much failure. I never was much of a dreamer, but this concept has really intrigued me and I made a decision to start grasping the massive world of lucid dreaming. Today I decided to look for some forums, read up on some literature about lucid dreaming. I have tried different techniques, like drawing an A on my hand to represent awake so if i look at it in a dream i realize im dreaming. I do my best to get in the habit of reality checks. I keep a dream journal and always tell myself that I will know I am dreaming. I feel that I am pretty close to achieving this goal, and I wanted to connect with a community who shares the same goal. I am looking forward to reading your stories, techniques, ideas and most of all experiencing this for myself!
