Hi! My name is Oliver, 17 years old. I'm not exactly new to lucid dreaming it's self. I guess you could say that I took a long break from it. I used to be really interested in lucid dreaming when I was about 14 years old and at that time, with practice, I had three lucid dreams. After three lucid dreams I sort of lost interest in lucid dreaming for a while, but now I'm getting back into it. I started using my dream journal again just last weekend. In just one week I wrote down fifteen dreams. They are getting longer and more vivid every night. Along side my dream journal, I constantly ask myself "is there anything crazy happening?" and "how did I get here?" through out the day everyday, and follow up those questions with three reality checks. First I try to push my hand through my other hand, then I count my fingers, then I try to breath through my nose while pinching it. I'm not too sure yet, but I'm beginning to believe my dream signs are my dad, my sister, and candy. Anyways, I hope to have a lucid dream soon! Also can't wait to hear about other peoples' dreams! Thanks for taking the time to read this
