Newbie hotline

Hi gang!

I've been thinking about doing this for a little while now. Since we seem to have more people wanting to be adopted than people willing to adopt, I would like to start up a newbie hotline.

This topic will allow people who are willing, to provide help or answers to specific questions that a newbie might not feel comfortable asking on the open forum.

By making a post in this topic, you are stating that you are willing to be contacted via PM, IM, or whatever methods you specify. Please use this topic only to post your availability. If you want to discuss this, do so in feedback or another topic.

I'll begin with my post:

Hi, my name is Seeker (duh). I have been lucid dreaming for 13 years now. I usually have 3-4 lucid dreams a week (when I am getting more than 5-6 hours of sleep a night that is! grrrrr.)

I am familiar with most of the induction techniques. I can MILD and WILD.
I am also intersted in meditational and suggestion aids such as BWGEN.
I know they are sometimes needed, but I really don't like things like NOVA and LD goggles. I feel the ability to have lucid dreams resides in every one of us.

In my dreams, I have pretty good control. I can fly, summon things, manipulate matter a little, and get stains out of carpet =P

I have often described myself as a Christian Mystic. My core beliefs are Christian, but I am the first to agree that there are many nuggets of truth out there in other beliefs as well.

I am in my 40's *sigh*, but am still young at heart.

If anyone has a question they are not getting answered on the forum, or one that you are afraid to ask on the open forum, please give me a yell.

I can be PM'd or e-mailed anytime. I am on YIM sometimes during the day and on AIM on occasion.

I'm Techboy. I have been lucid dreaming for about 2 months, and don't have many lucid dreams currently. I am better with the theory side of things (as in I know how I should do it, and could answer questions about it, but I can't do it).

I also enjoy a bit of Off-Topic stuff.

Only PM me.

Q for reading.




[edit: oh my god this is where...alot of things happened. added kaniaz to msn, both ended up running webservers and working on chatspot and god knows what the hell else]

Hi, I'm nightowl.

I'm 16 years old and I feel I am pretty knowledgable about Lucid dreaming. I've read a lot of topics here and was one of the first that joined this site. I've had enough Lucid dreams where I lost count, but still need to work on my techniques. Feel free to ask me anything. I am here a lot and wouldn't mind answering some questions.

I'm O'nus. I also now use the nick name Kyros on messenger services. My real name is Michael.

I have been studying neuroscience and psychology for a good portion of my last couple years (day after day, I love this stuff). So I can help with any questions about drugs, physiological inquistions, or simply talk about stuff going on in life.

I am not a reductionist - I believe the human spirit is the biggest influence on us all.

I am more than willing to talk on any messenger service (a lot more than pming or emails..) as long as you don't ask me over and over again, the same questions about the samething over and over again (you know who you are if you are reading this: YES THAT IS NORMAL). :-P

MSN: [email protected] (yes, it's real)
YIM: mk_onus (Kyros)

Really need someone to talk to? Feel free to even call me (it's on your bill.. so I don't mind, lol) just pm me, and I'll give the number (I move around often, so I cannot give one specific number to reach me).

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hey I'm TheUnknown (aka joe, but forget that). I'm 16. I've been lucid dreaming as long as I can remember. I tracked down this site when i spontaneously lost the ability to go lucid and my dream recall, It appears i am regaining it again though. My dream recall is about normal for myself now (5-10 dreams a night). I'll let everyone know when I am back to being 100%.

But as for dream control and a few extra stuff, I am excellent. I can do anything, fly, move shit with my mind. I don't believe in induction by drugs although b6 is a pretty good helper. Don't like to be PMed much so, if you wanna talk, you gotta post. I should mention, that although I am new to the forums, I am NOT new to LDing.

My favorite ways of inducing LD's are through nightmares and morning WILD's, however I can sometimes have a long LD only an hour or two after falling asleep.

I expect to be around 8)

Hi!!!

My name is Truthbearer, and I have been lucid dreaming for about 4-5 months(about 2 weeks after I joined the site) I think I have gotten pretty good at it, and have mastered a method that gets me lucid almost everytime(thought I am having a problem with schedule lately so I haven't been able to use it for a while :( )

Anyway, I think I know a lot about the topic, so feel free to PM me or MSN me whenever you feel like it

hey,

you may call me lord soth, i am 14, and have been involved in this forum for... 2 weeks... but time is relative, and as soon as I wake up tomarrow I will have lied :? I know alot about lucid dreaming, read some books about it, and have experienced it many times... feel free to pm me or aim me (i live in washington, so the time may be off)

Hey good idea. I like the age variation here, we can help more people this way.

I've been an active member here for about four months, though I started lucid dreaming around start of summer last year. I have extensive knowledge about lucid dreaming and regular dreaming. However if you have a question about astrals or OBEs I'm not the person you want.

I just turned 17 years old last month and am going into my senior year in high school, so if you need help with anything (doesn't have to be about LDs) feel free to contact me.

I live in GMT-5 Central Time. (Texas)

AIM: Squall8901

I will be more than happy to help any n00bs in such a task.

I am fourteen and the the adoption system was brought here by me so I know everything about it. I'm not a great lucid dreamer but most time I don't accualy dream.

Hi there

I'm 25, live in South Africa, and have been lucid dreaming since about 5 years old (uninformed at that point in my life, however :D )

Only relatively recently (about 2 years now) have I been actively attempting to induce more regular lucid dreams.
My success varies depending on work stress, and lately, illness.
At my best, I manage about 5 lucid dreams a week (contradicts a previous post of mine.... I remember having 4 lucids in one night alone) :D

My interest in lucid dreams stems from the ability to get really close to your subconscious. You have no inhibitions to your abilities at this level.
In addition... its an INCREDIBLE amount of fun
And the rush is awesome ! :D 8)

I believe that anyone can lucid dream, however one technique that may work for one person does not necessarily apply to the next person.
I believe its necessary to discover your own best methods of getting it right. Of course, others can guide and advise, but thats about as far as it can go ;)

My abilities and skills include ghosting (eg. like the ghosts in the matrix), summon stuff, read (perfectly btw), fly (with difficulty), have a chat with my subconscious (usually ends up in angry words... :| )

I'm a computer software developer by profession, and also make computer games in my spare time. Other hobbies include playing computer games, handwriting analysis, memory techniques, AI, helping others with their potential, and lockpicking (no, not for criminal intent. For fun, believe it or not :P )... and more...

I'm very open minded, but not to the point of accepting baseless information in a gullible sense.

And I cannot do a WILD ... yet... (I'm close :D )

I'm the man and I know everything there is to know!!!!! mwahahah~!

Hi all, I’m Laura. I'm 25 and well, I'll help if I can. I have been around Dream Views for a few months but I've had lucid dreams many times in my life. There is no rhyme or reason to my LD's they just come when they come. I do believe thought that if one is willing to work at it there can be a sense or regularity to becoming lucid. I still have not got there but i totally enjoy the experiences I have had.

Contact me however you wish.

Sweet dreams!!! :lol:

Hey how ya going. My real name is Ben and im 18 years old. I have been lucky enough to be a member of this site for about 8 months now and have learnt an incredible amount of information from all the good people here at Dream Views.

I focus alot on Astral projection/Obe but do know a little about Lucid Dreaming.
My dreams all come from the best country Australia as that's where im sleeping every night, feel free to PM or email any questions.

Have a good one ;)

sup sup.....

i be new here... from sunny south africa.

i hope to give this new lucid dreaming a try. it seems very intresting....

good website...

Hey DJ... welcome ;)

I'm also from SA, boet. Nice to have a lucid dreaming partner.. hehe

In any case, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here :D

Hey all. My (holy) name is Marl Fublewonker. I am sixteen years old and am just learning about lucid dreaming. I am a Discordian, so if there are any others here, let me know. Just wanted to say hi to everyone here.

Even though I'm still working on achieving LDs I still consider myself a good resource of information, especially related on how to do things in dreams.

My name is Shannon, but you can call me Amethyst or Amé. I'm 19 and I've been here since July. I've had two LDs but since I'm at school I don't really have time to focus on techniques much. I have done a lot in normal dreams, though, and can offer you suggestions on how to perform certain tasks: my specialty is flying, but I can take a stab at other aspects. I'm a foreign language major at the U of Montana so if you have any questions related to the Spanish or Russian languages (or English for that matter, duh) contact me.

The best way to contact me is by PM, but my e-mail address is also [email protected] Make sure to include a subject that refers to DV or I may just delete it by mistake. I'll be editing this post when I get LDs, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

-Amé

Oh, forgot to post in this.... Information is in my profile, i'm not that good at LD'ing myself, still trying but I have been around and read alot, so if you got some questions i'm sure I can help you out and point you to some relevant information

i'm SilvaStar and have just learned that i've been having lucid dreams my whole life-roughly 23 years. before checking out the site, i didn't know what lucid dreams where. i've always been able to hvae total dream recall. as a matter of fact, it is very rare that i don't remember my dreams. i've always found it strange when people say that they can't remember and don't even know when they're dreaming. even while i'm dreaming, i know it's a dream. however, i seriously lack dream contol. when i have a nightmare, for instance, i can tell myself it's just a dream, but i can't control what happens, and i cannot stop my fear. this goes for regular dreams as well. i know when i'm dreaming, but can't control the happenings of my dreams. i guess the strangest thing that's happened in my dreams is that i once met my boyfriend's mother in a dream before i met her in real life. when i did finally meet her, it was definately her, although i'd never even seen a picture of her. i'm also interested in astral projection. i have no experience with it, but i've heard of others that do. i was wondering if that, like lucid dreaming is something that can be learned. feel free to email me at [email protected] :mrgreen:

hi i'm new and very interested in acheiving lucid dreaming and hopefully i can with time.

its awesome that there are so many nice people here willing to help :)

whats up all........ glad to see DreamViews up and running and with so many member's........
i have to say it was sad when some of you's left LD4ALL cus this is where i met alot of you's but im glad that you all have your home back.
:D
Altho i'll be spending most of my time in the LD4ALL forum, i hope you dont mind me posting in here once in a while,
and reading some of your post.
Im glad to see alot of ppl here from LD4ALL also..... :happyme:

Very nice forum you have here. Hope to gain lots of tips to get rid of my dryspell.

I guess ill just move on and not wait here anymore for the welcoming committee......... :sheepishgrin:

Welcome to you Konnart/NotWithoutMyPillow.

Good to see you here. Maybe you should start another good news bad news thread here. That thread made me laugh so much. I had a great reply worked out for your last post but someone bet me to it. Oh i had so much to say about spandex and flashdance...... ;)

Peace Sensi.

:barf:

Hey guys, my name is Lilly and i am new to Lucid Dreaming. I have been attempting to lucid dream for the past week, and haven't fully achevied it yet. Last night was that farthest i have gotten. I keep telling my self, im dreaming, over and over again. Then after that i believe i entered the dream state of mind, i concentrated on my hands. It seems i couldn't concentrate enough, because all of a sudden both my hands hit the wall by my bed and i woke up an hour later then i had fallen asleep. I couldn't remember anything else that happened. I just wanted to share how my progress is going along and to see if anyong can give me more advice.

-LillAy

whats up sensi....
i've been wondering where you went to, after you abandoned the good news bad news thread,
its funny how alot of ppl from lD4ALL have ended up here too.
i spend most of my time there but i will be coming here to chek out the forum once in a while.
I think i will start a new G.N.B.N. thread,.................

Hey konnart/NotWtihoutMyPillow, i'm sweet as thanks.

I'm actually going away for a while so i won't be around here either for a while. I'll look forward to reading the new GN and BN thread when i return. You made me laugh so much, thanks for that.

I've got some new ink coming my way too, so looking forward to it. Still up for those pik's if you ever get the chance.

Peace Dude. Sensi. X

hey everyone my name is Rylan! I'm 21...I'm yet to have a lucid dream but I am so interested in it! all I know is when I do dream they feel so realistic so maybe I've had close to a lucid dream or something! meh anyways I'm excited about the site and lucid dreaming lol! later all

Hi. I am dylan. i have only had one lucid dream so far. you see i waws dreaming and I knew i was dreaming so I woke my self up. I did some research and found out about lucid dreams. I have always been interested in dreams and having visions in dreams. I am 15 and I love anime.

Hi im Arcadia you can call me dave.ive been interested in all things paranormal all my life and also been very interested in lucid dreaming,ive had a few lucid dreams throughout my life which ill talk about in the forums.feel free to ask me about specific things as i have a kind of natural understanding of things :wink:

Hi guys, i am dock, from indonesia :) so english is not my primary language, thats why it is not easy to express what i want to, so plz feel free to correct me if i made mistake :lol:
I Knew about LD about 2 days ago and this's really interesting :wink:when i was around 15, i could know that i was dreaming, and able to control it. There's also times when i wake up and cant move my body, or even open my eyes... i needed 10 secs before i could open my eyes and move my body. I wonder if that could be said as LDing ? And also, last night i try to LD-ing. I sleep for 5 hours, wake up and drink 2 cups of tea, and then go to sleep an hour later... i sleep for 15 mins, and in my sleep, i dream that i DREAM ( yeah, i dream that i dream... )that somehow my "soul" can leave my body, and then i can see my own body... i realize that i was dreaming at that time, i could go aroud but not for long... because i soon wake up when in my dream my soul go back to my room and see that the body i leaved before wasnt my body... then, an hour later, i sleep again, not attempting to LDing... but, again i know that i was dreaming when i dream (again, i dream that i dream and could control my dream in dream ) i wonder if all of my experience i write here could be said as LD-ing ???
Hmm.. is there anyone here from indonesia ? i sure need a lot of help expressing my thought :cry:
btw, is this the right topic to post my story ??

Hi i'm new here and starting off and just wanted some basic information. I've always been fairly good at remembering my dreams and last night i managed to remember four dreams but i need to start writing them down. Would you have any advice for someone like me in school whos kind of in a rush and can't write down his dreams? I was also wondering how long I shold be writing down my dreams before i try dabbling with lucid dreaming. I'm also kinda curious when realizing i'm dreaming will come to me consistently.

Hullo there,

I'm new here to the forums, joined up some hours ago(6th of December 2004)
You can call me Michael (My actual name is Michiel, a Dutch name)
I'm 16 years old and I live in Denderleeuw, Oost-Vlannderen, Belgium
I have currently had two LD. In one of them I yelled all the time at people that annoy me in real life(too bad I can't actually do that in RL)
I told my brother about this and he told me that it might be LD, but then we started arguing about something. A few days ago, I went to teh internet-hisstory of our pc and I found this site. And I must say that so far, I'm pretty impressed. I've started a dream diary(though I really have to work on my dream recall). The problem is that with school and my exams coming up, I only get about 6-7 hours sleep every night. Also, I have the habbit of eating a full meal before going to bed(yes, that means 2 warm meals every evening)
Well, what else is left to say? I'm pretty exited about LD and I'm glad these are so terrific forums.
