Well, greetings to all! I'm a noob poster, obviously. I have been reading quite a bit here and figured I should introduce myself. I'm a 26 y/o male who at this point is just curious, but you all seem like very cool people, so I signed!

That was the short version, here is the long for those of you interested-

I stumbled onto LD info while doing research on astral projection. I used to be very much interested in astral projection, some years ago, and was quite proficient at seperating. I could never go beyond that, however. My vision was very blurred and my movement was very limited, though I could project at will. I recall the feeling of seperation very clearly, and after my "religious" views changed significantly, I no longer wished to experience astral projection. However, occassionally (sp?) there would be times at night, while mostly asleep, that I would experience the sensation of seperation without actually doing it, and of course I wondered why. I read a thesis explaining the similarities between OOBE's and LD's, which of course led me to further research LDing, and eventually brought me here. Right now, I am very curious in learning all that I can about LDing, and while I'm not ready to keep dream journals yet, I certainly dont think I would mind having an LD.

Anyway, I thought I would introduce myself, as I will more than likely be reading all the posts here, and maybe even doing a bit of my own.

Good to meet you all!!

(By the way, before you get nervous about my "religious" statement, I DO NOT force my views on anyone. They are mine, I live by them, and will defend them when attacked or slandered, but that's it. You dont have to worry about me being some Jesus Freak telling you all to repent or anything, I dont think that's the way to go about it. Just so we're all cool about it )
