Hi everyone

[FireDancer]

I just wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself. I'm a 31 year old guy who lives in South Florida. I've found this site while doing some research into lucid dreaming. I've achieved lucidity multiple times in the past few years, but haven't been able to do it as often as I would like. Although, I haven't consistently tried to attain it . I successfully induced it once (that I can think of). I had mentally repeated a mantra like "I am just dreaming" repeatedly as I was falling asleep and it stayed with me as I shifted into the dream state. Most of the time that I achieved lucidity in the past, I just kinda figured out I was dreaming because something truly odd was going on. Flying is the first thing that I always do when that happens. I wanted to join this forum since I thought that being part of this would help focus my intention to further develop this skill. I've read books in the past and journaled on occasion, but always seem to fall out of the habit. So, I thought that this forum might act as a support group (of sorts) to help motivate me by conversing with people with similar interests. Most of the people in real life that I've talked to about this stuff have either no clue what I'm talking about or no interest in it. So, I've set my dream journal by the bed again, so hopefully I can remember what dreams I've had and get the energy to write them down when I wake up. I'm usually way to lazy to do anything when I first wake up. Part of the reason that I'd like to develop this skill more is that I'd like to experiment with dream sharing and to use it as a launching pad for more OBEs (which I have on occasion). I think that the idea of dream sharing is really cool...to be in a limitless enviroment which you can share with real life friends. As for OBEs, I've had them off and on now for the past 10 years or so. Maybe 1 or 2 a year without much control when I'm separated. I've had one good one, but most had been limited to the room that I was in because I was pulled back in before anything interesting had happened. I had taken a class to develop that skill, but like I mentioned above, I fell out of the habit of actively trying. So much for a quick hello, huh?

Hey! Welcome to the forum! The best way to become Lucid more often is to try keeping a DJ, & maybe RCing every 10 minutes!
