My name's Steve and I just heard about the art of Lucid Dreaming a few days ago from my Advance Science-Fiction teacher. He's been doing this for over 3 years now and loves it. Anyway I couldn't help but notice how nice, understanding, and helpful everyone is on this forum. Honestly though, any other site on the web you'll get people throwing all kinds of names at you for no particular reason, just to get a rise out of you. Considering this is such a deep topic, I don't even see skeptical idiots spamming and putting people down. Well I guess what I'm trying to say is I've been a member for 5 minutes, and thanks for being so damn nice everyone, lol.

Anyway like I was saying I'm Steve, I'm about to turn 18 y/o and graduate, I'm loving every second of it. I see myself as having a very creative mind, and I feel like I'm good at some things that would spark logic and creativity (like programming and drawing). When I heard the idea of Lucid Dreaming I literally stood out of my seat. Excuse the pun, but it was a dream come true!

So far, achievement wise, I have not gotten very far considering I've only been researching/dream-logging for 2 days now. Although, I do see myself getting the hang of this eventually. Haha, I've only gotten to the point of getting myself relaxed as I drift asleep...and I'm not even sure I'm getting that right.

So I suppose you're saying to yourself, "What's this kid trying to say?", well...I guess I'd have to ask the more experienced people...or at least the people who have experienced a ld: How did you start out? What kind of things did you do/what were you good at right away? Also, how long did it take you to achieve you first and how long after before they became consistent? Thanks a lot to everyone in advance.
