Dear lucid dreamers,

Thank you letting me join this forum. My name is Kaj, currently 23 years old and I have been practicing and studying Lucid Dreaming for almost a year now. My attempts have not been unrewarding, although I'm not able yet to hold my lucidity for longer then a couple of minutes. During waking life I am a student doing some 'multimedia design' related study wich is pretty awesome, I love making music, art and to do some work in the garden. My study is awesome because it let's every student learn what it wants to learn, so I am doing my graduation project on lucid dreaming. What I am exactly going to do is still unsure, because I'm still in the research phase. So I guess you now know the two main reasons I joined this forum. 1. Because I could really use some help on this topic and I can learn a lot from the people on here.. and 2. Because, if that is possible and allowed, I would like to ask some questions I can use for my research. After my research-phase I will probably try to develop/design products and tools that could help beginning lucid dreamers to kick it of. I ofcourse know that practice and experience is the best product, but I am hoping there are some gaps I could fill and help the community of oneironauts. Oh yea.. and graduate at the same time. If some of you would like to share their experiences as a lucid-dreamer newbie and how you overcame certain obstacles, that would be really awesome!

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have some questions for the administrators.
1. What would be a good approach towards interviewing people on here for my research?
2. What if I might turn (one of) these products I develop into a commercial product/bussiness. Would that be in violation of any rules if it was created with the help of researchresults from this forum? ( I have read some guidelines about it, but I am still shrouded in doubt. )

For the rest I would like to say that I think it is awesome this forum exists. I would love to see the day when Lucid Dreaming is a common practice and by connecting and sharing stories/experiences it can only grow more!
