Thread: Hello, Another New Member

Hey whats up? welcome to Dream Views..

im a new LD'er but i recall reading somewhere that your guides dont have to be someone that looks godly or pure, but maybe just a person uu have seen before in your life, a friend, family member, or a person u saw on the street..as for ur other questions i have no idea. :\ sorry

Welcome to Dream Views!

I don't know about your other questions, but I can tell you this much: dream characters can and do lie.

Now, that I think about it she really did remind me of a family member of mine who died back awhile ago. She looked and talked very similar, also she smoked. Huh, thats really strange now that I think about it.
I dont Necessarily believe strongly in dream guides and talking to dead family in dreams, but you know I keep a open mind about it.

So I was thinking about why I have insomnia, I think its really a simple reason. I think since I tried a WILD a few nights in a row I really noticed the black when I close my eyes. I also got used to just barely staying awake, So that plus falling asleep later in the night I kind of formed a habit. I'm finally getting back though, but slowly to my regular sleep cycle.

I also had one more quick question. Have any of you saw the future of your dreams while in one? I always see about a minute or two in the future of my dreams. It always happens when somthing really bad is about to happen. So I always see these quick flashes of pictures or a vision I guess you could call it, then I always change what im doing in my dream to prevent it. Its not that great really, it just makes my dreams more boring....

Ok, well any ways thanks for the welcomes guys

Why did I post a picture of Mr. Lama? :shrug: I was posting about him on another thread, and he looks like a friendly guy, so, what the hell, let's get him to welcome newbies.

Hey, man! Glad to meet ya.

Yeah, they sure can. I had a low-level lucid this past week, where I continually kept asking one DC if I was dreaming. He kept saying no, and I knew he was lying. I became lucid anyway, though. DCs CAN lie. They usually don't. I find a general rule of thumb, is that they won't lie unless you expect them to lie... or if their lying helps make "the truth" clearer. I know that sounds weird, but, meh. Like in the example4 I gave, my DC lied to me because I was expecting him to lie.

Hmmm... I don't have a DG myself. I tend not to get recurring DCs, other than a few real-life friends and family who pop up every now and then. I'd like to "make" a DG for myself, though. I might see if there's a way I can incubate one, to tell me I'm lucid. A project for the holiday?

In my experience, during the first few weeks of my attempts, I did get a bit of insomnia. But after that, I got used to it, and I got my sleep patterns back. I think it's something to do with deep meditation making it harder to actually fall asleep when you want to, because you're used to being in a deep meditation but conscious. I dunno, really.

But yeah. Welcome! Any questions, PM me or a DG or post or whatever. It's a friendly, helpful community here.
