      Hi, new guy here

      Hi, my name's Chris (though some people call me Carlos). Some people from another message board that I'm a member of mentioned this site, so I figured I'd sign up. I had no idea there was such a strong lucid dreaming community.

      I'm 27 (turning 28 next week) and I've been "lucid dreaming" since I was about 7-8 or so. I used to have terrible nightmares when I was a child, and it seems that I learned how to lucid dream as a defense mechanism. While I have good to excellent control, a lot of the time I'll just sit in a dream and see where it takes me, only intervening when things are going in a direction I don't want to go in. I probably take active control of a dream 3-4 times a week.

      I'm interested in this site because I'd like to hear about everyone's experiences, and possibly refine my techniques, since when I take full control of my dreams, I wake up very tired in the morning, and sometimes have slight headaches.

      So, feel free to ask me whatever, I'm a pretty open person.

      And...go!

      Welcome to DV Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      COOL! Finally someone my age, or close anyway!! (I'm 29) I hope you find what you're looking for here. That's inconvenient about the headaches alright. I personally haven't heard of that before. Good luck with it though, and glad to have you here!

      xoxo,

      Hey maybe the headaches thing is related to your diet? Or maybe an advil or something before bed might help.

      Thanks everyone. I think I figured it out about my headaches. I tend to sweat a lot when I sleep, so when I have headaches in the morning, it's usually due to dehydration. I've been having an extra glass of water before bed lately and I haven't had the problem in quite some time.

      I also don't sleep in as late...

      Smart boy

      Hey Chris,

      The water thing is a good thing to do...as you know or maybe not I do it too. Though I also tend to chug water when I wake up. I'm glad you don't get headaches in the morning, cause headaches tend to make you cranky!

      I hope to learn a lot more about lucidity and LD from you. You are a cool guy and smart too, what a rare combination.

      Sassy

      I wonder why that is... I get it too sometimes. Been under my sheets a long time watching tv or something, and everythings fine. But then suddenly I'm waking up covered in sweat. and no, it has nothing to do with nightmares or anything like that. wierd
      A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
      It said that life is but a dream.
      I've spent so many years in question
      to find I've known this all along.

      Sweating while asleep

      Well the sweating while asleep seems to be a common guy thing. It seems their body temperature rises. This isn't a scientific fact but rather from experience and from talking with male friends and acquaintances.

      I wonder though if the rise in body temperature during the night has anything to do with the types of dreams we have. As when I've had a particularly vivid/intense dream I find that in the morning or in the night when I wake up I'm sweaty too.

      WELCOME CARLOS!!!!

      It is great that you are lucid that often, without much effor as well. I hope we can teach you several neat thing to do while you are lucid...

      I'd be more inclined to bow
      Powers that be would have swallowed me up
      But that's more than I can allow...

      Welcome, Carlos !

      You sound very similar to me in a couple of ways - eg. the nightmares and the early start on lucid dreams.

      You seem to be doing really well in fact!

      Hopefully we can all learn from each other
