Greetings to all!

My Name is Zeljko Filipovic (A.K.A the Green_Man). Im 18 and Im a Croatian from South Africa, currently living in Canada (A culture shock believe me&#33. Im in Canada to persue university studies and am interested in Archaeology and ancient historical studies.

I have always had an immense interest in the workings of the human mind and its influences on our existence, however I have never given much thought to lucid dreaming. Then about a month ago I experienced a lucid dream and then another one about a week ago. I am still wondering what triggered it though I have some idea. Around that time I met an individual who told me that he experienced regular lucid dreams and we had some lengthy conversations on the topic. I assume that the hearing about it from him triggered the thought patterns in my mind? I would appreciate any insight on the issue as I would truly like to experience it again and am more or less ignorant on the technical aspect of the issue.

there are also some other things that I would appreciate ligh shed on(please bare with my pestering):

Can someone dream of having a lucid dream, while not actually experiencing one?

I felt really slow and almost depressive after I awoke, is this normal?

I started off in a normal dream and it became lucid when I died on the first dream and "awoke" in my bed, thus begining the lucid dream. Is this the normal route from dreams to lucid dreams?


Thank you for any imput on the issue and I hope that i will become a regular member of your fine forum.

P.S I am also up for adoption so to speak, and would be grateful for advice and tutoring from an "experienced dreamer"

Your Sincerely
Alex "Green_Man" Filipovic
