Hello Elsig and a BIG WELCOME to Dreamviews.

You sound exactly like me in your LD history but you seem to be more of a natural. (only it took me 49 years) Congratulations. You will find heaps of advise here and techniques that will improve your skills, especially your ability to control your dreams.

I would say that the most important skill for you develop now is making a habit of doing reality checks. During your dreams you need to be able to become lucid so that you can control your dream and that is what the reality check is for. In the past you have recognised an incident or act during a dream that was not natural and that has made you lucid. Add the reality checks during a dream and you will become lucid more often and have more control.

I have been telling newbies that the best time to initiate an LD is during an afternoon siesta and your experience supports this. In the mornings after a good sleep when you just want to snooze is also a good time.

Anyway, Enough rambling. Welcome again and enjoy this site. Was good to read your intro.

I invented and posted a quote earlier,

"LIVE YOUR DREAMS TO THE FULLEST, NOT JUST LIFE"
