Hello Friends

**Tom_Peace** · 03-18-2006 01:01 PM

Hullo everybody
My name is Tom I am 19 and male from England and of course I have just joined the forum.
I have had only one lucid dream and that was a couple of days ago.
It was the first time I had ever really thought about lucid dreaming, I had about 2 or 3 hours thinking and some reading up on the subject and a little reality testing. I had my first Lucid dream that very night. It was truly wonderful and I am excited about having that experience again.
I am sure I will meet loads of great people here on the forum.

Love to you all
Tom

I think you'll find a great community here.

Welcome to the forum!

**Tom_Peace** · 03-18-2006 01:51 PM

I am sure of it
I have been trying to have another lucid dream but so far nothing has happened. I am guessing that not feeling completely relaxed when i go to sleep has an effect on my ability to become lucid, get too wrapped up in the emotions flying around. A lot has benn happening in my life as of late.

Hi, Tom! Glad you found the forum - probably already got my PM, so I'll just say Welcome one more time.

Good Luck

I just wanted to say a few more things about me for the introduction.

I am very interested in life and people. I love to help and teach and share love and joy with friends and strangers! In fact that is one of the main ways I like to define who I am, a teacher.
I am very much interested in spiritual development and consciously choosing my world and reality. I do not judge people as 'wrong and 'right', I do not believe in those concepts as objective truths, rather just simply subjective opinion.
I believe in there being only really one question that we ever have to ask our selves when faced with a decision "who do I choose to be now?" I believe that we have complete freedom and can do anything we want, without limitations. We only ever need to consider whether our choice reflects whom we choose to be in the moment of NOW.
I believe we are all ONE and at the same time have individuality (A Divine Dichotomy)
I believe that we create EVERYTHING in our reality, nothing happens to us. WE can do that consciously or unconsciously. It is up to us!
I believe we are truly made from pure unconditional Love
I Love truly and unconditionally.

Peace

I think I love you.

Seriously though, warm welcome. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more from you.

**Tom_Peace** · 03-18-2006 02:56 PM

hahahaha thanks

Well I guess I should say I am in a very wonderful relationship with a girl named Christine who has a son.
However I do Love all my freinds as friends and my partner as my partner.
I choose to love everyone and respect everyone equally.

I just wasn't sure what "squared away" meant in this context. It is no big deal, I just like to communicate really well with my friends.

Anyway, thank you. I am going to bed now *let the lucidiididididididity begin!*

Arg! Too... much.... love... *gasp* *choke*
Must... get... *cough* *hack* ...fresh... air....

*rushes outside*

*screams out profanities*

*runs back inside when he sees the neighbours watching*

Ahhh.... better...

(Nah, I'm just kidding. Glad to have you on board.

)

PS: Take away all the "love" bits, and I actually agree with the whole moral subjectivism thing. I'm a big moral subjectivist.

**Tom_Peace** · 03-19-2006 11:34 AM

The Love is the best bit man. It is what we really are, what we are made of, the binding force in the universe, the truth of our being, our soul, the basis of duality, polar opposites, Love and fear. It is What some would call God, the IS/ISNOT.
Loooooooooove!

**Unicorn** · 03-19-2006 12:28 PM

Welcome man! it's so refreshing to see easy & laid-back guys here...

Fear as the opposite of love... hmmm...

Question: Ever watched Donnie Darko? The movie?

**Dust Mote** · 03-19-2006 08:11 PM

Welcome Tom_Peace

I think you have a wonderful philosophy about life. And I believe you will find Lucid Dreaming a very interesting tool to explore the great mysteries with.

Have you read: “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot? I think you would really enjoy it.

**Pastro** · 03-19-2006 08:18 PM

Welcome Tom_peace, I am very new here myself but I wanted to make your welcom even more enjoyable. I enjoy your viewes on life and hope to get to know you better

**Tom_Peace** · 03-19-2006 09:31 PM

The blue meanie, I have seen that film before. hahaha I actually decided that it had too many things that didn't make sense. I didn't really enjoy it as I thought the writers were trying to make it too complex. But I do LOVE The Beatles!

Dust mote, I have not heard of "The Holographic Universe” but the name sounds interesting. I do believe in the illusion of the physical world (i don't know if i said that earlier) However I do believe truth is expressed in it. Such as Love and Joy and friendship etc.

Pastro, I would love to get to know you and everyone more.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

**wombing** · 03-19-2006 11:51 PM

Love is the law, do as you will....

Wikipedia Article on Jim Cunningham, from the movie Donnie Darko
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Cunningha...Donnie_Darko%29

Notice any similarities, people?

Tom, I think you\'re the fucking antichrist!

(I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry... hehehehe... I just REALLY had to say that... hehehe... just joking, Tom... It's just, I LOVE that movie, and I'm just cracking up right now... the similarities are just TOO good... hehehe...)

**ravenqueen** · 03-20-2006 01:01 AM

I just wanted to slip in here for a quick greeting

Welcome to DV Tom_Peace. Hope to hear alot from you around these parts.

**Tom_Peace** · 03-20-2006 10:43 AM

Wombing, Namaste

The blue meanie, you can find my views offensive if you like, it is up to you. I would still love to be your friend. You see, I need nothing from anyone. I especially do not need people to agree with my beliefs. I Love me and am fully comfortable in who I choose to be right now. So if anyone wants to hate me then go ahead and hate me, I will still love you!

Hello Ravenqueen!
