Well, erm... wow. What an odd and totally novel experience it all was - and at 38 they don't come along that often for free I can tell you I have to admit that I was sceptical about it because I'd never heard of it and it seemed so outlandish and fantastic an idea that you have to forgive me for that (I felt like that about hypnotism though too until I experienced it - maybe one day I'll learn).

However, an odd thing happened last week that I thought I'd share. I was in a bar with an uber-rational friend of mine (curmudgeonly so) and I was mentioning this site knowing full well I'd get slated but wanting his perspective... but the attack never came, he just asked about the site, what it said and such. I told him that it was mentioned that some people can just do it and don't actually know that that isn't the way that other people dream and he admitted to me that he'd been able to do it since he was very young.

He'd been having nightmares and his mother told him that if he just told himself in his dream that it was just a dream and took control of it he could change it! So he started off doing it to defend himself and now takes it for granted he can be aware in dreams.

Anyhoo, thank you to this site for being here and showing me something I never expected. I hope I can do it again and get some consistency... How bizarre
