Doin the Noobie thing

Just thought this looked like the hip and cool noobie thing to do, so I will introduce myself. My name is Matt, I'm 17, goin to UM-Rolla next year for college (woohoo) to take Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. I've been a guitar nut for a while. Trained in Ryuku Kempo for 8 years. And I'm currently training for a triathlon. I've had lucid dreams for as long as I can remember....just extremely rarely. I had one recently that was particularly vivid. I was stuck at home, bored...so I looked up "dream control" on google having no idea what I was really looking for. I found DVs, read the whole site through 3 times, and became interested to say the least. I am an EXTREMELY light sleeper, and have excelent (IMO) dream recall. I wake up about 4-5 times a night, and every time I can remember exactly what I was dreaming about. I am currently trying to develop a habit of being superbly aware of my waking surroundings in hopes of becoming lucid more often. Phew, a bit long winded for me this late at night, but now you know who I am!

Hey I Bleed Blue (interesting sn, lol)

Welcome to Dreamviews!

I would tell you to read the tutorials, but I see you've already read the site! (plus you've already got great dream recall, keep it up :goodjob2: )

I'm a huge hockey fan. St. Louis Blues are my team...thus the logo and screen name :D

Coolio, I know nothing of sports, lol.

So your a natural LDer?

Natural? Eh, kinda. I am about THE most logical person I know. Any situation I am ever in I assess logically, no matter what it is. So when I dream, I guess that carries over and every once in a while I achieve lucidity when I realize something isn't quite right. However, that only happens about 4 or 5 times a year. And after looking around DV, I'm hoping to increase that number.

Wow, 4/5 LDs per year. That's impressive for them being natural! I am somewhat logical myself but once I enter a dream there is a block. I accept everything as reality, no matter how bizzare.

You'll probably increase your number, you've got an advance because you have had natural LDs.

I am so jealous of you :mad: :evil: :pissed: :wink:

Well, after reading about RCs and how they are supposed to work (even though I see some people here say they don't) I'm pretty sure my mindset in life may have something to do with why I've had these LDs. I don't take anything for granted. If I see a bird in a tree in my backyard, I don't pass it by, I look at it and "assess" it in some sense. Kinda hard to explain. I can't really zone things out, so whatever I see I have to take in with my senses fully and analyze it(even if its only a split second glance). I'm hoping that just increasing this "awareness" of my waking surroundings will help me have more LDs.

A natural LDer and a natural RCer!

I have the opposite problem. I zone out way too much. People think I have ADD...

I usually write "Am I dreaming" on my hand and do RCs by checking my digital watch. Whenever I see something bizzare, I do a RC (funny how I don't in dreams... lol)

Welcome to the forum! :muffin:

It sounds like you have a very good dream recall.
That is helpful if you want to LD. :goodjob2:

Dude! I'm right there with you. Being an engineer, I am extremely logical as well! It does help! Oh and did I mention that Mr. Spock was someone I looked up to when I was young?

We logical types need to stick together in this world of raw emotion and illogic!

Welcome to DV! :yddd:

Seeker, be quiet! Haven't you gotten the latest memo?!? We are supposed to keep hush-hush about this until the flippant-minded ones are at their weakest....and then we STRIKE! It is, of course, the logical thing to do. :D

hello
i am new to this site also but have been having and controlling my lucid dreams for about ten years now. they have always come to me very easily. i am enterested in talking to some of the new comers like myself that seem to be naturals and have alot of lucid dreaming experience. i am curious if you have found a adoupter yet, i am looking for one

i was about 17 when i had my first intence lucid dream that i had complete controll of.

wright me back so we can talk more.

thanks, Hurlo

Greetings Thumbro! No, I have not found an adopter for myself yet, but I'm thinking I should be ok without one. Although I can't adopt you, I would be more than happy to talk with you about natural LD's if you have had them too.

welcome to dream views , i'm typing all this while my girlfriend is trying to shove her tongune down my my athroat....HELPPPPPPP!!PP!P~!~!PLKFDHAJSd



WELCOME

:hrm: That's real relevant :P

I think he's just saying that to get Paperdoll of his leg(see picture thread) :P

WELCOME!!!! I also believe the key to lucidity is complete self-awareness and a logical mind. With this combination and a lot of practice, LDing shouldn't be that hard(I generally have 2-3 LD's a week)
