Hi!
My name is Alprazolam

I am 18.
I heard about this thing called "Lucid Dreaming" from a friend who talked to a friend. I was instantly interested- As I am a naturally deep thinker and love diving into abnormal things and concepts.
I got home and found this site and did some solid research for about 45-ish minutes.
Instantly I had an idea that I may be able to accomplish something like that- Like I said, I am a naturally deep thinker, I retain on average 2-3 dreams a night, and I also am very aware of when I am falling from the stage of totally awake into partial sleep- This has just recently come about, about 5-6months ago which I believe is related to another matter. I also suffer from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) which could be used to aid me in various techniques I have only just began to read about. I also remember at least 2-3 natural LDs I had throughout my life, and Im almost positive there were more. I also had "night terrors" as a child 2-3 times a night.
As to how much all this accounts for anything, I'm not sure but I'm excited to see.
On to my first true LD:
I did not try or think about having an LD while falling asleep- I was a little apprehensive to such a new bold event.
However I had just awoken out of my second regular dream that night/morning. Half asleep I decided to try it out and began focusing on if what was around me was real and if I was conscious.
I instantly found myself downstairs in my living room and instantly it hit me I was dreaming but I knew it. I decided to see if I really could control what was happening and began levitating around the room. I could feel my physicaly body laying in bed tingiling all over as this happened. I then noticed the kitchen lights were off and wanted to turn them on mentally but it wouldn't happened. I then was a little worried about "what if I couldnt wake up when I wanted out of this" so I thought about waking up and, I did just that.
I was astounded at first at what just took place and what possibilities this brought. This was a very short LD but I had done only 45mins of studying and technically got it on my first try.
I then almost had a SECOND LD. I was dreaming again as I fell right back into REM. I was looking at some cupboards, and as I looked at the second one down I noticed some video game boxes, I looked down at the third and decided to look back at the second and the boxes had changed and at that point I realized I was dreaming but it startled me somewhat, and I woke up.
I know I may come off as "cocky" to the LD world or as if I think I know it all, but this is not the case.
I know LDs can be hard to attain, and are not to be abused, but I am very excited and interested to do some researching and studying on this site. I am simply excited to become a student
