I am a new member from Redmond, WA. I stumbled onto the topic of lucid dreaming because I was on a gaming forum and someone posted a link to an mp3 that supposedly provokes lucid dreams. I became fascinated by the subject, though skeptical.

I felt that anyone claiming the ability to become self aware within a dream and take executive control over it and live out a waking fantasy as they create it must be boasting to impress people and were likely lying as well.

Then I found this site and I clicked the "Forums" link. (This is my usual test for the initial "legitimacy" of a site - is the forum well trafficked?) When I saw 5 digit numbers in the post counts of each of the top forums I realized that there was something very real and legitimate about this after all.

Now I am hooked. Regardless of whether or not I will have success achieving LDs, I am completely fascinated at the prospect that humans do indeed have "executive control" over their dreams, and merely need to learn how to exercise it.

What a telling statement it is about the true power of the mind.

Thanks for the wealth of information, and I'll be seeing you in the forums.
