Hi all! this looks like a mad site, some cool interesting people on here looking forward to convos with you guys, Ive just joined and been looking around its such a cool forum not only is there unlimited stuff bout lucid dreaming but I like the diversity of the discussions too like the philosophy thread. I think I will be posting here a bit as Im really getting into lucid dreaming since I had my first (ill tell more later).. basically I just wanna introduce myself: im a 22 year old guy from Sydney Australia, just graduated uni (should be looking for a real job... but in no hurry!&#33 so at the moment just chilling and enjoying life

Ive always loved dreams and before i even knew about lucid dreaming whenever i had a cool dream that i wanted to remember i would write it down; I have dreams with these mad adventures with mystery and action, I just love them.. surreal landscapes, hot girls that arent sluts (i must be dreaming! haha) anyway I was at work on a break reading the paper and discovered an article on lucid dreaming and it spun me out, the idea still does!! there is endless possibilities with this, it really is a whole other world.. I was so into it and always going on about it to my mates explaining to them what i read and how to do it and how cool it would be, etc, etc and I was going on about it so much that my friend had one before me (he said that in his dream I was going on about lucid dreaming and told him to check his watch to see if he was dreaming and he was!&#33 lucky bastard!!!

my turn finally came... I was in this desert with huge dunes everywhere, its wasnt a sandy desert though it was all dirt... I think it was that weirdness that made me realise I was dreaming. As soon as I realised this feeling just swept over my entire 'body' and I was really really alert, honestly the MOST AMAZING feeling I have ever felt!!! ... I became lucid, I wanted to fly away from the desert and actually go and explore, so I jumped expecting to glide up into the sky but instead I was just doing these long floating jumps along the dunes (kinda like astronauts jumping on the moon).. after about the fifth jump I woke up.. I LOVED IT!!! all i wrote down was "LUCID IT WAS AMAZING" lol now that I know for sure that it is possible for me to have them I Just wanna have more!!!! im addicted!! I have just ordered two books "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge and "Lucid Dreams in 30 Days: The Creative Sleep Program" by Keith Harary... look forward to sharing and learning with you guys hopefully its not another month before my second one
