Thread: hello dreamers

I was so excited to find this site... I've always loved my dreams, and on-and-off have periods of extremely vivid and interesting dreams. Some good, some bad - I don't even mind most of the disturbing ones, they're still fascinating.

I've had multiple spontaneous lucid dreams, with varying degrees of control. In one, I was sitting on a soft carpet, and I knew if I even opened my eyes I would wake up, but I just sat there and felt the carpet underneath me and marveled at how I could feel every fiber... Not a terribly exciting dream, but amazing in just how real the sensation was.

Another one, I was shopping in a mall with my sister on the third floor. Suddenly, I realized that she was much younger than she was in real life, and decided to "test" if this was a dream by inviting her to jump over the railing with me to see if we could fly. Of course, it should have been proof enough once she agreed to do it! We didn't really fly, but floated softly down to the ground.

My favorite one, I realized that I was dreaming and decided to go find Brad Pitt right outside my door... That was fun.

I just got off work for the summer (I'm a teacher) and am hoping to use my extra time to work on dream recall and ld induction eventually. I'm looking forward to reading everyone's experiences - I've already learned a lot just browsing the boards tonight.
