I've been interested in lucid dreaming for a while and have been looking into this website along with many other for a while now, why I haven't joined the forum till now? good question, but better late than never... I have had 5 lucid encounters in the past 2 months, all not being very long and I find as soon as I find out i'm lucid I get excited and wake up soon after, but I am keeping it as my primary goal for my next chance to stay calm and increase lucidity. The past week i've had 2 wild encounters(I've been trying them since the first day I heard of them). Both starting out in my room. My first one had me running through the house and i realized I was lucid as a hooded deformed figure scared me out of the darkness and all I could think of in that split second before i woke up was " you freaking hag what can you even possibly do?", well anyways yes. Hi everyone I'm glad to have joined.
