Thread: I haven't posted here yet so...

I joined the forums a few days ago and I also have an account on Astral Society. I joined because I became far more interested in lucid dreams and it would be more progressive for me to come here! My real name is Ryan and I come from Bradford, England.

As far as I have progressed: I have had a lot of lucid dreams, a few from WBTB but most just in the middle of the night or early morning. WILD is my goal, but I probably should change it because I am extremely hopeless at it . I learnt how to fly properly (without falling to the ground like a brick) last month and now it's easy. I had a dream journal for months but unfortionately I don't seem to have time for one anymore, which is very dissapointing.

I have also got as far as apparating the odd object or person as well as OBEs, and I have met a guide in a dream many times. My biggest problem is that I have had a guidence experience many times but I have always forgotten what I was told, which is a bummer.

I am able to recognise my current reoccuring dream themes and to some extent understand them, and I recognise the features unique to me associating meeting a guide or having an OBE. For example when I am called/call a guide the current dream will collapse and I will be flying through a tunnel; I will also possess a different dream body through it or at the end because presumalbely my guides think I'm ugly.

Finally, I do not beleive OBEs or SGs are suparnatural, I am more of a scientist and I have my own explanations. I'd say I was an atheist, but I do think there may be higher consciousness (that resides in all things with the capacity for a living consciousness, god is in all of us, we are all god e.t.c.) I just don't think this power is a "creator", "guide" or "carer" in any way. This creates a problem because faith is a good thing to help one focus (and sometimes, stay sane!) but I can't change what I beleive.

Hello Ryan and welcome.

Another natural LDer.
All you need do now is to build on the skills necessary to control and maintain your LD;s but it sounds like you wont have much problem there.

You will find a lot of good info and advise on this site and plenty of discussion points.

Best wishes and again, Welcome.

Hey ! I'm the same way with the dream journal. I wrote in it almost everyday in the summer but with school back in it's not one of my top priorities at 7am. Keep trying for the WILD, I've come close myself but havn't actually gotten one yet.

It seems like you have opinions and will be able to contribute things, unlike alot of newbies who come and post 5 nonsense posts and then disappear forever (or worse the ones who stay and don't get any better).

Hey Idolfan!

I don't think so, I think you just need to have your own adaptation of the technique to get it to work for you

... welcome ...

i shall be watching

Thanks for the welcomes!

Hopefully I can get off on the right foot again with lucid dreams I haven't had one in a little while. Usually I have at least one or two a week but I can't remember a lucid from two weeks now .

to Dreamviews!
