... and I'm surprised to see so many people who are interested in lucid dreams! This special kind of dreams seems to have become very popular and I'm happy to have found such a nice looking website/forum about this topic.

I'm 17 (18 in a few days) years old and I live in Germany. I first heard about lucid dreams when I was recommended the movie "Waking Life" on another forum. I loved it straight from the first time I've watched it and my interest in dreams grew dramatically.
I decided to give it a try and bought the book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge.
I've been keeping a dream journal for a few weeks now and my ability to recall dreams increases. In fact I've been learning to love having dreams since getting to know about LDs.
I haven't ever had a LD and I guess it will take some more time until I'm successful. Yet it's just fun to deal with dreams.

That's it for now, I'm sure I'll be lurking around this forum in the next time.
