Thread: Hi

Hi all,

New to the site, so thought I had better say hi.

My name is Josh, and I am from Australia. I had another example of being aware I was dreaming last night, so it encouraged me to do a little reading.

Since I was quite young I have, on and off, had experiences of being dream aware. When I was young I had a lot of nightmares. At some point I started to realise during nightmares that it was only a dream. I then became able to either remove myself from the situation in the dream (ie take myself home or somewhere I considered safe), or to just wake up. Over the years the nightmares reduced down and so has the instances of being dream aware.

Last night was again started through a "nightmare". These don't hold fears anymore as basically as soon as I start having one I become semi-aware, and I am able to adjust what is happening. Generally at some stage during it I will become fully aware. Generally I wake up not long after nowdays, so have never really explored the experience.

Anyway, that is enough about me. I hope I can learn a little about "LD" and what can be done.

Cheers,
Josh

ps, just reading the abbreviations post, and following the link, I realised I have also experienced what is referred to as HH. To say it was unpleasant is somewhat understating things.
