Hi, I\'m Kat. I\'m 15-years-old, but I first read about lucid dreaming in when I was 11 (6th grade). I was interested, but my life was sort of rocky then.

So, the main reason I want to learn how to LD is to stop having nightmares. I can\'t remember the last time I had a dream that wasn\'t a nightmare, sometime before 6th grade. It got a lot worse two years ago, and I stopped sleeping. In retrospect, that was a stupid thing to do, but I did worse things that year and in some ways I think it helped keep me from going crazy.

Recently I did a stint in the hospital for a suicide attempt, sleep deprivation, mania - all that good stuff. I\'ve gotten desperate to stop having so many nightmares because I think that might help some of my problems.

Any suggestions?
