Thread: Hello all I am new and glad to be here

This is my first post here so I would like to start by saying that I am happy to be a part of this group and I hope that it will help me achieve my dreaming goals. And that as I learn I will be able to share what I learn with others and help them achieve their goals.

OK let’s start with what I think is holding me back and ask for any advice on over coming it. When I first started trying to have lucid dreams I had a lot of internal turmoil over if I could have lucid dreams and if I should have them. I was afraid that it was not natural and that doing so could be harmful to me. But I kept trying like some part of me needed to have them. I have overcome all of the conscious doubt but I still have have only limited success.

The lucid dreams that I have had seem to come only after a lot of hard work and lots and lots of pratice and then only one or two at best. the rest come of there own accord and I am not sure what brings them on. When I have them I seem to have good control and have even found ways to extend the dreams. I have flown in my dreams, I have past through solid objects, and I stopped an 18-wheeler in its tracks. I have to say that I did have a moment of thinking to myself “I hope this is a dream or this is really going to hurt”. So what could it be that i am not doing. I keep a dream journal. I know my dream signs. And I have great dream recall when I deside to remember them.

I love my dream life and I am amazed with how creative my mind can be. When I was about 14 I had a nightmare about animals escaping the Zoo and I woke panicked and afraid but then I thought that it was incredible that I could face something so frightening and not have a scratch on me. At that moment I decided that I liked nightmares and I have not had one since. I have had dreams that others would call nightmares but I find them to be some of the most interesting dreams. I have been shot in dreams; I have been stabbed, and blown up. I’ve died and been reborn. I’ve died and been born into the family of the dead. I hit bottom after falling off a cliff. And while I love all of these dreams the only problem is that none of them where lucid. And don’t take what I’ve said wrong I like all my dreams not just the nightmares.

I know that this post is kind of rambling but that’s just because I’m excited and glad to finely have a place to learn and grow in my dream life. Thank you in advance for any help and advice you can offer me.

Welcome. We're glad to have you. Read around and be sure to check out the tutorials posted throughout the forum.

Know that lucid dreaming has never been shown to be harmful at all. In fact, the opposite seems to be the case. So, feel free to venture into the dreamscape armed with the safety that lucidity can bring. Lucidity in the dream world can turn your nightmares into wonderfully pleasant experiences. There truly is nothing to fear but fear itself in the dream world so remember that nothing can harm you as long as you summon the courage to face whatever threatens you in a dream.

If you can train yourself to perform a reality check (RC) whenever you experience fear of any kind, you'll find that when you become lucid during a nightmare you can easily dispatch the threats and befriend the most aggressive of dangers. ALWAYS face your fears in dreams. Doing so is extremely empowering.

Dream empowerment leads to, not only pleasant dreams but, confidence in your dream abilities and powers. That, in turn, makes LDing much more obtainable. It also removes the SUB-conscious doubt that hinders dream success.

Anyway, welcome to Dreamviews. May your stay here and your dreams be pleasant and fruitful.

Oh my goodness, what a cute avatar.

Hey there, welcome to the forum!

As GH, there is no danger to lucid dreaming. It can, in fact, help many people with things such as getting over nightmares.

Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
