...another introduction!

Hey everyone, I'm Kris, 19 years old from Vancouver Island, Canada. Currently working, but heading to University next year

I used to have lucid dreams when I was a kid, but I'd just wake up instantly, and they didn't seem that interesting. I found this site a while ago, but never really tried lucid dreaming, figured I wasn't missing out on much.

These past few months, I've started inexplicably having quite a few lucid dreams. The strange thing is, when I become lucid, generally theres isn't anything terribly exciting going on, which is weird, cause my dreams are almost always crazy. I just have this realization, seemingly from nowhere.

I can't seem to do much out of the ordinary, and in many cases my dream becomes less accessible to me once I'm lucid. However, my last dream was a fantastic exception, and it was such a profound experience, I felt compelled today to join this site... hopefully it will be fun discussing dream stuff with everybody!

Hey, welcome to Dreamviews! :)

That's great that you are already lucid dreaming. We'd love to hear about that last dream if you feel like sharing it.

Have fun here, and I hope you start having more dreams like that.

Sure. I'm sure a lot of people have had much more interesting experiences, but for me it felt quite amazing, since it was the first time I've done anything in a lucid dream that would be impossible in real life. I found it's quite different from it happening out of your control... it's satisfying, and a lot more fun.

I was walking along a hallway that opened into a kitchen and dining room, when suddenly I became aware that I was dreaming, though, like usual, there was no apparent reason for it. I generally wake up, or feel myself losing control, but this time everything felt very natural, I was sort of relaxed the whole time.

In the dining room there was a man seated with his family. I decided that asking one of the dream characters for some advice might help me, and instantly the man got up from the table and shook my hand.

Talking with him was weird, it was sort of an out loud thought process.
I asked him, "what exactly are you, some part of my subconscious or something?"
"Well since you don't know a lot about dreaming or the subconscious, I can't really answer you, but we may as well go with that and figure it out later."
So I asked, "how come I can't do anything while I'm lucid, can you show me how to do some cool stuff?"
"You have to realize, that technically, by asking me, you aren't doing anything different than you would be if you did these things by yourself. It's all just thoughts... so hows magic powers sound?" (which happened to be, of course, exactly what I wanted.)

We went outside, and proceeded to make some wind by thrusting a palm out, and shouting "Hyah!"
I asked, "all the theatrics aren't really necessary, right? I could just make it happen?"
"Of course, but you'll have way more fun doing it this way"

Then I pretty much just played around making wind, trying different stuff with it for the rest of the dream, always with some elaborate motions to go with whatever I as doing. I stopped paying attention to the guy, and never really saw him after that.

Nice. :welcome: to DV!
