I'm new here (duh) and excited to be surrounded by those who won't say, "you can do that when you dream?!". Family and friends can never get past that when I really want to talk about "what" I dreamed about, not "how".
When I first signed up I said I was a Master, but changed it to Expert after reading the descriptions. I don't think I could "teach" someone else how to LD (lucid dream/dreaming right?) since I didn't teach myself. I've always known I was dreaming ever since I could remember. I didn't start controlling/changing my dreams until I was about 7 or 8 years old after some simple advice from my mom and grandpa to help me deal with some bad nightmares. I had no idea this was unusual until my hubby said so. Checking out these message boards make me feel like I'm not such a weirdo...although I kind of like being one anyway.
I've been doing alot of soul-searching in the last couple of months and I think my dreams will help me understand my "awake" brain a little better. I've never kept a dream journal but I'm going to start right away. Any advice on that would be just super-duper.
Anyway, thanks for having me
