Welcome!

Yeah - the advice being offered is friendly, so don't let it put you off. Reading a massive block of text like that is intimidating... many wouldn't bother with it, no matter how much good stuff it contains.

In fact, I've tried twice and haven't gotten through it, even though I know it contains a good lucid dream in there somewhere!

Again - this is being said to make what you have to ask and offer more accessible. Don't worry about "perfect paragraphs" - just break it up a bit!
