Thread: Greetings Everyone

hi and welcome to dream views and holy crap! south africa to canada? i believe u on the culture shock thing lol. here is my opinion on your questions

1. yes i think that when your friend told you about it that is what gave you one. I had a similar expeirece. I had my first lucid dream a couple of weeks after reading about it on this site. maybe your mind gets curious on what it would be like and eventully trys it for itself? i dont know.

2. i dont think it is possible to dream of having a lucid dream and not actully experience it. cause you know you are dreaming in the dream of a dream. however when you woke up from the dream of a dream, you probably would not be lucid, ending the lucidity

3. ive never been slow or depresive after having one, only happy but i dont know how most people are after so maybe im just the irregular one lol.

4. there is no normal way to start a lucid dream! you can start out from the begining lucid, just become lucid spontaniously, have a false awakinging get you lucid, reality checks could get you lucid too!

well hoped this helped ya! and good luck

Welcome, Green Man!

Hmm, I can't say I've ever felt down or depressed after I awoke from an LD - quite the opposite, actually. Maybe it was the content of the dream - do you remember what it was about?

You can enter in an LD is almost countless ways. Sometimes you'll just suddenly realize you're dreaming, and other times lucidity is a product of a false awakening, which you may have experienced with this one.

As soon as you've been a member for 2 weeks, you can be officially adopted by a member. See the Adoption Guidelines for details. In the meantime, get familiarized with the forum, and don't hesitate to ask questions and participate in threads. The 2 weeks will fly by!

Good luck and have fun!

An dream where you're aware of being dreaming is a lucid dream. I know what you mean though, I've had dreams where I knew I was dreaming, but only in the back of my mind, and I never knew I could control the dreams or anything like that. So basically it was like watching a movie, knowing it was a dream.

Weird, huh?

Anyway, welcome to DV!

It was definetly not a pleasant dream. I travelled through an apartment building, killing and torturing people. Thats what makes me question whether it really was a lucid dream, or me dreaming of having a lucid dream. Do you think that even possible?


P.S
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

When it comes to dreaming, I've come to see that almost anything is possible! I think I've read about people dreaming about being in a lucid dream, but I can't think of any good reference threads to point you to right now. I'm sure you felt depressed when you woke up because of what you were dreaming about - that's enough to depress anyone!
