Hello! I'm Will, I'm fifteen years old and I've been interested in lucid dreaming for about a month. My brother read a book about lucid dreaming but he had borrowed from the library so I never got a chance to read the whole thing, but the blurb was enough.

A few of my Buddhist friends have had naturally occurring lucid dreams and have spoken to me about them but with my inquisitive mind, I have a few newbie questions...

How can I train to have lucid dreams?

Am I better off reading books or surfing the net?

Surely, if someone is in control of their dreams, they would be using their brain and therefore not totally switching off. If their brain is still 'at work' during the night, they won't be as relaxed and won't feel as refreshed in the morning?

I look forward to getting to know you; I should think I'll be a regular poster.
By the way, sorry if my English grammar isn't always correct - you can let me off, I'm only small!

Thanks a lot,

Will
