I am SO excited about the possibility of initiating LD at will. I had this happen to me a couple of times when I was a kid (in a galaxy far, far, away...). But, I started researching this again recently and am very excited about the possibility of controlling my dreams again. The only problem, was that when I was younger the LD always occured during a nightmare and I could never quite get control of the dream (even though I was cognizant that I probably was dreaming - probably being the operative word for an eight year old).

Anyways, thanks again for the hospitality. This site is AWESOME!

Well, for those keeping score at home, I wanted to let you know that I started on step 1 this morning - keeping a dream journal. It's actually quite interesting to write out what you were dreaming. As you go through the motions of jotting stuff down, more facts come to you. Very cool.

I had one dream where I was in an interview for an investment analyst position. Normally, I would be nervous, because these are always tough. But, for some reason, I was not nervous at all during the dream (something in me "knew" there was no need to be). It's weird, because I couldn't control anything, heck I'm not 100% sure I knew I was LDing, but I definitely knew that there were no repercussions to my actions during the interview. It was more of a feeling really. This last part did not come to me until later this morning. I wonder if I was LDing, but I can't recall the rest.

As an aside, this is flippin awesome. I literally see a whole world opening up to me that I didn't realize existed, umm, as of yesterday.
