Alien Tommy landing on DV :-)

Hello everyone at DreamViews.com :-),

I believe I first heard of this website while reading Robert Waggoner’s "Lucid Dreaming - Gateway To The Inner Self" and searched through a few topics on here.

I'm 19 years old, live in Germany and you can call me Tommy! My three major interests are physics, the buddhist philosophy and lucid dreaming :-)! I finished school this year and am about to start studying physics.
I've had my first lucid dream in December last year after trying a simple technique that I got from the internet. But I only really started practicing LD about three months later, after I read my first book "Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge on that topic. Since then I have read about a dozen books mostly on lucid dreaming but also astral projection and dream yoga and became lucidly aware in my dreams about 30 times.

I still struggle a lot to not wake up (they mostly last less than a minute). I've only had a hand full of LDs in which I stayed in for 3-5 minutes and those weren't my recent ones. I am currently reading Robert Waggoner’s new book "Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple" and have high hopes by following his suggestions described in the MEME technique to help me stay better inside the LD.

I also have a big interest in dream yoga and will be taking sivason's course. I feel like he is a very experienced lucid dreamer and will be able to shine some light on this difficult topic.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day and dreams well tonight!

Greetings from Germany
Tommy

I see you have already found our Academy and I hope the course you chose to take will help you. I like Waggoner and LaBerge as well. Please ask if you have questions. Happy dreams

Yes indeed! It is an amazing book. What else have you read? Is there any place on here with LD book recommendations? Because I love reading a ton of books on topics that interest me. I have read quiet a few books about LD but am always searching for new ones :-)

I just checked your Dream Hero League Thread. It sounds like a super fun idea! I will be joining for sure over the next few days, but gotta read through the entire entry first.

I have only read a part of the ETWOLD, nothing else so far. Iv used this forum for guides and so.

Yes, there is a thread for book recommendations - > Lucid Dreaming book reviews and recommendations Check it out!

Okay sounds like a plan, DHL is open for all ^^ Also remember to check out the bigger "competition" that is starting soon, the summer comp held by moderator spellbee2 -> Spellbee2's Summer Lucid Competition 2016 Signups The comp is all for fun and nothing serious. It's also a great way to make friends and it boosts the efforts of many. Feel free to join
