I came across this site through a strange twist of events. I was randomly researching a condition where people actually act out their dreams in their sleep, when in a chain of wikipedia articles I found this website .

I must say, alot of these posts made me a bit skeptic. That is probably cause the first posts I read here were all the "flying" ones and stuff. However, after reading several journals and such I decided I would give this a try!

2 nights ago as I was going to sleep, I kept thinking in my mind "I am going to remember this dream". I don't know how long I did this and I didn't think anything was going to happen. However, after some time I started feeling...twitches in my legs and shoulders. I was pretty scared at this point, and I couldn't stop it! Soon images appeared in the blackness of my closed eyelids...only way I can really describe are like "explosions" of light particles.

No, I never got to the point of dreaming. In fact, I must of massively wussed out. Those images and twitches were really scaring me and I couldn't get to sleep for the rest of the night. I just dwelled on what might of happened and if it would have been good or bad. I have a very active imagination and sometimes seemingly have "lucid" day dreams. I have direct control over everything, cept it is morel ike a storyboard rather than me directly controlling what is going on.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to say hi and share my inital doubts and experience.

It is strange, during the day I'll read this board and just think "I gotta do this!". Yet, when I lay in my bed and turn off the lights, I remember how I felt that one night and I just can't make myself go through that again. I'll probably take a break but I'll be floating around these boards .

THESE BOARDS ARE COOL, YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!
