Hmm, let's see, I'm Svaist. The name doesn't really mean anything, it's just a little word play with one of my favorite guitarists, Steve Vai.
I'm 17, and I found out about Lucid Dreaming a little over half a year ago when I was Wiki hopping. I found it when I was looking up information on A Scanner Darkly, and it led me to the movie Waking Life.
Although I've had one or two lucid dreams since I found out about them, I haven't really had the greatest of chances to practice until now. For about five months, I was in Japan, and they have the worst sleeping schedule for practicing lucid dreams. I was getting a maximum of 6 hours of sleep at a time, missing out on the two best hours of REM sleep of the night in most cases.
So, now I'm reading to start back up again, and I've already restarted my dream journal.
Around the same time I found out about Lucid Dreaming, I joined the forum ld4all, but when I returned from Japan it seemed to have been deleted. So I followed a link from Wikipedia onto here, because I thought joinning a forum on LD'ing would be the best way to keep my mind on it enough to increase my success rate.

Hi Svaist and welcome :P
Well its good to see that you are attempting to learn LDing. It's also good to see that you have a dream journal, thats one of your most needed things in learning how to LD as it helps you to recognize dream signs and get better dream recall.
Well here's the link to the Tutorials Section just to give you the extra information.
Well good luck and have fun. See you around :D

Hey there, welcome to Dream Views!

About a week or so ago, I had a dream where I realized I was dreaming. I didn't need any reality checks or anything, because I distinctly knew that I was living in America at the time, and that my dream was in an altered dimension of Japan from what I knew. So, I was standing there in my dream, trying to something like flying, or anything LD like. For some reason, I just couldn't take off! Since nothing was working for me, I just woke up after awhile.
Can someone tell me why this happend?

You had lucidity but no control. Its perfectly natural, give it a few lucids, soon you will have control. It jsut usually takes a while.
Hope this helps :)
