Newbie With An Open Mind

Hey everyone! The purpose of this topic is just to introduce myself. Ive never really participated in any forums so this is definately a first. I have never experienced an LD that I know of and didnt even know of its existance until a few days ago. I have been reading A LOT about it... almost to the point of an addiction already, lol! I guess thats why I joined this forum... the topic really interests me- plus, id love to have the chance to experience and LD. I have done drugs before... hallucinagins to boot- but i dont think there will be any better high that complete freedom in my own dreams.

About me:
My name is Jason and I am 23 years old. I live in Cleveland, Ohio. I spent 4 and a half years in the U.S Army. Just got out about 3 months ago... and im SOOOO glad! I hated that stuff and it has given me a very hard case of insomnia. I spent 2 of those 4 and a half years in iraq. I served in the infantry with 2-327 and 3-327 infantry regiments in the 101st airborne. Ive seen my share of things that nobody should see. Im hoping lucid dreaming takes me away from all that stupid stuff and lets me enjoy sleeping instead of dreading it.

So far:
So far, ive been working on my dream recall. I started a dream diary and have remembered two dreams so far. One of them was pretty crazy and the other was just me hanging with friends at the clubs. I have been using a program that I found on ld4all.com that was developed by Bendrummin58. It has been tested and has a very high success rate amongst those who have used it so far- even those that have yet to experience an LD. Hopefully i will add to the success rate.

Well, I think I have done a pretty good job introducing myself. Feel free to drop me a message any time.

Welcome to the board. I hope you enjoy it here and have great success at lucid dreaming. Keep up the dream diary--I have found that that really has helped me.

(Glad you are back from Iraq safe and sound.)

Hello spinnintrance, welcome to Dream Views.

You've chosen one of the greatest and friendliest forums to be your first to participate in, in my humble opinion. Dive in and get to know the place as well as know us members. I'm Vex, and if you have any questions about anything dream related, slip me a private message and I'll help you if I'm able.

Once again, welcome to DV... and also welcome back to NA.
Hope to see you around.

Welcome to the forums. I hope you have a lucid dream very soon. Do you happen to have the link for Bendrummin58's topic?
