Thread: Hello! Lucid dreamer signing in

Let me be the first t o say welcome

Well you seem to be doing fine, having lucids to escape nightmares is completely normal because most people tended to do it.

Hello!
Wow you're really lucky that you're a natural.
I'll look forward to reading more about your lucid experiences when you decide to share them

Thanks for the welcome, both of you!

I feel lucky for being a natural. I feel that (lucid) dreaming is an important part of me, but I unfortunately only have a few friends who have some interest in dreams and lucid dreams.

Yeah it's a shame about that, it's an amazing thing and really cool but only a small number of people seem interested in it.

I can understand why people who never remember their dreams might not be interested, but the rest of us. Hello! We sleep for like 1/3rd of our lives! How can you not care about 1/3rd of your life?

Hey, a fellow Norwegian! There aren't that many of us here on Dream Views, I think.

You are amazingly lucky to be lucid in all your dreams. Most people have to work on it. I too used lucidity to escape nightmares when I was a kid, and I've talked with others here and they've said the same thing, so I think it may be pretty common. In my case though, it meant that my moments of lucidity were never very long lasting.

Hei!

Actually, I've read that only a small fraction of all people are natural lucid dreamers, though I'm curious about actual statitics. Even when I was a kid, lucid dream and nightmares could last for a while. I specifially recall dreaming about befriending a vampire on a train. He was trying to attack me, and as I knew he wasn't real, I asked him to become my friend. He accepted it.

Mhm...not much more for me to say...indeed welcome..and enjoy your abilities..it's a great stroke of luck to be a natural and dream whatever you want...it's your own little reality...Perhaps start a dream jorunal in that section of the forum...i'd like to see some of your adventures

Hei!

I don't know if you've read "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge, but there is a chapter in that book that explains how to use lucidity to deal with nightmares. What you are describing here is exactly the right way to do it. In my case I would become lucid and then make myself wake up, which is exactly how you're not supposed to do it.

I have to read that book! Where did you get a hold of it?

On Amazon. Many people consider it the bible of lucid dreaming, and it's not very difficult to come by. And yes, you definitely have to read it.

What's up, Line? Always nice to have another natural around.
Can't wait to hear some of your experiences! If you have any questions, about LDing or the forum in general, don't hesitate to ask.

Cya.

Thor, I'm going to order it.

Thanks, Oneironaut! I have already shared some around on the forums, just see replies I've made.

I found this site an hour ago or so, and I love it here! I feel at home here.

And I'm trying hard not to spam. There is so much stuff to post and reply to!

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a Dream Journal. Heh.

Fine! It will give me something to do in the mornings, while I wake up. I will want to keep some entries private, though. Don't we all?

Hi there. Its superb to see some natural here. Would be pretty interesting if you could share with us. There could be some points, where our experiences might have something in common, but some experiences might be different. One idea came directly into my head. And that would be. What if you share with how it happens, that you remember all your dreams. I know it is hard, becouse it is natural to you. But if you could describe it somehow, it might help us to understand the naturality itself. You know. We must try hard just to remember our dreams. What do you think? Hard question? Sorry if this question is silly, but You know. You cant kill interest.

Thanx in advance

Hey, Adraw. That is indeed a hard question, but an interesting one. I can only speculate, it might be simply because most of my dreams are lucid. You see, when I wake up, whether it's morning or in the middle of the night, I can tell if I've been dreaming. Of course, I can't be 100% sure, but I can "feel" that my mind has been working on a dream, even though I can't remember any. But I will definately know when I've had a lucid dream, because I remember it as an "experience". I don't know how else to put it. When it feels like I've actually "lived it", even though it was not real, it makes it easier to remember. If I wake up and know I've been dreaming, but don't remember what, I'm sure it was non-lucid. I'm more likely to have a non-lucid dream when I'm physically and mentally tired after a long and hard day doing whatever.

Um, that was kind of a ramble, but I hope it makes sense, even though it was not the best answer. To sum it up, I remember my lucid dreams, but I know that I forget some of my non-lucid dreams before I wake up.

Hi Luminous, welcome to Dreamviews!

If you haven't already, read the tutorials and the main site for helpful information about lucid dreaming. You might also want to start a dream journal in the Dream Journal forum.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

You seem cool so far, so I'm going to give you some shiny green stars.
