It seems as though everyone who signs up here posts an introductory thread here... so I thought I would too, just to be different.
My friend first told me about lucid dreaming only a few months ago, sending me a list of steps and he said; 'this is how you can control your dreams!' and I read it and thought 'what a load of baloney. You can't control your dreams!'
Well, I was quite wrong!
My friend had sent me the WILD method, and I had no intention to try it at the time, but he did. He said he attempted it in the holidays, but he fell asleep. I guess not everyone is a natural lucid dreamer! Especially not me. Since then, TheDreamCloud (my best friend in real life) and I have looked into dreams, lucid dreaming, techniques, methods, sleep paralysis, and just psychology in general. We found it all extremely fascinating, and instantly wanted to know how to lucid dream. I was a bit tedious at first, after some of the stuff I had read and my immense fear of the dark, but TheDreamCloud gave it a shot and sure enough, on her second attempt she was able to have a lucid dream. I have tried with many failed attempts, however last night I was the closest I had even been to becoming lucid in a dream. It really messed with my sense of reality; I had a dream about being lucid in a dream! So I saw myself controlling the dream, but I didn’t actually have any choice in what I could say or do. Confusing, I know. I won’t go into detail.
So that is how I came across lucid dreaming, and I signed up to Dream Views to learn more about it. I found t was full of fantastic info and heaps of friendly people, so I can’t wait to share my experiences with you, and in turn, for you to share your dreams with me.
Dream on, x
