Okay, not really. But my screen name and avatar are from a cartoon set during that time period, so at least it's different from the normal "Hey" topic titles, right?

Anyway, dreams have been on my mind a lot for the past few days and I think I'd like to explore them more. I'll be honest, I'm mainly here to learn how to...hmm...what's the word I'm looking for...basically, I want to tell myself what to dream, and then go to sleep and dream it.

The concept of lucidity actually frightens me a bit. I always like the random weird coolness that dreams seem to have, and I think that might be somewhat diluted or possibly eliminated by becoming lucid. From what I've briefly scanned around the forum though, I think that may not be as much of a problem as I thought.

Later on, I'd like to build up to being lucid and give it a try, but at this point, I've just started keeping a dream journal, and I think I need to become much more observant of my current dreams if I ever plan on becoming lucid. At least I've started doing reality checks (the nose one) throughout the day, and that's a start, I guess.

Anyway, really pleased to be here!
