My name is Theo and I'm from Romania. I had my first LD when I was five years old.
I dreamt I was in an weird city and I realised it wasn't real so I tried to wake up by closing and reopening my eyes. Eventually it worked.. it was three in the morning.
Only last year I became interested in lucid dreams and the mechanisms that trigger them. Partly because I asked one of my teachers if dream control is possible and he was more than skeptic about it... That made me pretty furious because I trusted what I had experienced.
One of the many reasons I chose psychology was that I wanted to show the world that LD is possible. At that time though I didn't know about LaBerge... thanx Seeker for directing me to the Lucidity Institute site ( www.lucidity.com for who doesn't know), LaBerge is trully a genius and a great scientist.
It's nice to find more people interested in this... though most people I asked had lucid dreams at least once. I hope to learn more from more experienced lucid dreamers.
Have any of you done some experiments on dreaming? would be interesting to share some ideas...
