Howdy!
hi guys! I've been interested in lucid dreaming since 2006 and I used to actually lurk here...problem is, I've always lacked the discipline to be able to pursue it. I used to really read up on it back in '06 and even used binural beat generators...and one time still in '06, I achieved a semi-lucid dream...i woke up in my bed looked out the window and instead of a parking lot there was a garden with dragon puppies...yes, dragon puppies...I thought to myself that I must be dreamibg and tried to manifest energy balls out of my hands, and even lift off the ground....when I could not, I assumed I must not be dreaming and I woke up in bed...pissed at a missed opportunity...It felt so real and vivid...sadly, that was the most lucid i've been...now I want to take it seriously again...so I bought the awoken app for android soni can start recording my dreams and be prompted to some rc checks every hour or so throughout the day hoping that a structurized approach can help me achieve lucidity...welp, that's my story...sorry for talking your ears off :):):)
