Hi everyone, I would like to introduce mayself and maybe get some advice on the way to lucidty

I am from Gemany, already 51 years old and up to last December I thought, as obviously do many people, that lucid dreaming was a myth, or even occured only in patients with mental disorders. I am a medical doctor, been a good dreamer all my life and I was always interested in things related to phantasy. I even wrote three fiction novels (which the publishers havent been too eager to print, at least up to now!)
Then got wind of the story, watched a couple of videos, and - bang- was an expert lucid dreamer.
For one week.
In the first night, after a couple of normal dreams, I found myself awake, walking a peaceful suburbian street. Nothing happend, but the thrill was incomparable. I hardly dared to breath.
A couple of nights later, in the middle of a dream where I had to deal with a lot of complicated problems in the school of my kids, I suddendly became aware of myself, decided that all this was too stupid, and that I would go and fly a little, which I did. It didnt work for too long, but it was great.
The next - and last- lucid dream I had was a WILD. I simply counted myself into it woke up in a hotel lobby. My thrill was incredible, to think- this really works! I looked my hands, demanded for clarity. Then I didnt know what to do first. So I went to the elevators to see what was in the other floors of this hotel. The elevator, however, turned out to be a sort of train, which took off into the night and didnt stop. With no option left but to wait, I tried do do a levitatin RC. It failed. I couldnt stay in the air for a single second. The dream faded.

Since then I have done lot of things. My dream journal is quite voluminous, I read LaBerges book, do regular RCs, constructed a dream Lamp, tried different WILD techniques. Nothing. I feel like someone who has been offered a couple of free samples of a new, thrilling drug with no side effects. Now IŽd be willing to spend a lot of money on that stuff, but the dealer is gone!

Of course I am not giving up! :tropicalboxer:

wow, I love those smileys!
