Hey all.

I'm Vex Kitten. A new member but not new to DV.
I found this place about a year ago and have been hooked eversince.

I've always been a vivid dreamer.
I've always been interested in dreams and the dreams of others.
Have had frequent lucid dreams. I love them.
It wasn't until about 3 years ago that I discovered it was possible to train one's self to LD.
Since then I've been lusting after lucidity.

I also suffer from frequent bouts of sleep paralysis.
It's a blessing and a curse.
It never fails to frighten me when I wake up in this state.
But the flip side of this, when I realize where I am, I can sometimes slip back into the dream i was having or create an entirely new one.
The frequent nightly awakenings have helped me to recall multiple dreams per night.
Sometimes though, I wake up so terrified that I completely forget what I was dreaming.
It's a bitter sweet sleep disorder to have.
I couldn't imagine life without it.

I'm hoping that becoming involved in this community will help me get a handle on my dreams.
Or at the very least learn a little more.
A little x-tra knowledge never hurts.
Usually.
