Hi everyone,
I signed up a few months ago and I can already tell I really like the DV community, as well as the ton of information about dreaming available for reading here.
I figured it's about time I introduce myself on the forum, and maybe start posting stuff so.. here we go.
(I am kinda french so I hope you will forgive my writing.)

What to say ?
Well, I found out about lucid dreaming early 2014, at age 27, so it's been a little more than a year since I started my journey. I enjoyed every second of it so far, being much more awake in my dreams and in my waking life alike.
As of today, I have recorded 55 lucid events (18 in 2015), certainly missed a few due to lazyness or bad recall, and I appreciate that the frequency and the length of my LDs are improving nicely.
I am a fellow member of the french forum Attrape-Songes, being quite active there.
The main reason I jumped into lucid dreaming was a quest of inspiration, as a young author, although I discovered so much more depth than I expected on the road, and now it's an integral part of my path in this life.
My induction practice is pretty balanced between DILDs and WILDs, and I hope to keep it that way.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to maintain self-awareness at a good level through all days, but I am not there yet, finding that mindset pretty tough to keep more than a few hours, or minutes..
I do meditate regularly, however not as often as I'd like to, so I have work to do in both these areas.

I'll stop there for now, don't hesitate to ask any further question, I will be glad to share more.

Thanks for reading guys and girls !

to Dreamviews! I'm glad you decided to introduce yourself and start posting.

I started lucid dreaming on october 3, 2011, and I'm also enjoing every minute of my learning process and my experiences. I really love reading these introduction posts, because it brings back memories and get's me motivated.

That is a nice and well ballanced collecion of lucids you got there. I used to have almost equal ammount of DILDs, WILDs and DEILDs. Now I'm mostly having WILDs, but I really want to get back to practicing for DILDs. DILDs are so full of surprises, I love that "whoa" feeling when you realize you are dreaming.

Since you mentioning meditation, we have a meditation subforum Meditation

Hey!

I'm really glad that you decided to start posting, you sound like you'll have a ton to contribute to the community. It's always nice for me to hear stories of how well people have done on their path towards learning lucid dreaming. I'm sure that you're going to become fantastic at it, considering the mindset that you seem to have.

I would also love to be able to maintain self-awareness through all days, that's one of my big goals as well. I'm excited to see you more around the forum!
