Hello all!
A little about myself: I am 29 years old, married, and the father of an 8 month old boy. I joined the Marines after high school, and now have found my way back to the academic path, and am currently working towards a degree in physics education.
I found this site after searching for anything pertaining to lucid dreaming in the podcast app on my phone. As I am sure is true for most that find their way here, I was very excited to find such an expansive community of people after the same goal as me.
I have always enjoyed my dreams. They have always been very vivid, and due to certain genetic predispositions, I have little trouble with recall. What brought me here, is the idea of being able to control that world, as we have so little control in the waking world. I believe that acquiring dominion over my sleeping mind, would serve me very well with regard to working out problems in my life, or living out fantasies that would otherwise be "unacceptable" in waking life; don't worry, nothing macabre or sinister, just personal things.
Not to mention, it just seems like a much better use of that period of our lives, seeing as how we spend roughly a third of it sleeping.
I am very much looking forward to collaborating with you all, and wish you all the best of luck in your en devours.
I would also like to thank the staff for dedicating so much time and effort to making a place like this possible..
Thank you,
