Hey everyone,

I found this website yesterday and I have been immersing myself in all the posts. What an amazing forum!

I've had lucid dreams since I was a child. I remember being in a nightmare where I was being chased by a bear and it suddenly occured to me that I was dreaming. So I stopped running, turned to the bear and said, "Okay, I'm not playing anymore." To my happy surprise, the bear replied, "Aw come on, it's so much fun." Then he turned around and went home with his head hung in disappointment. This was the first time I clearly controlled a dream. I might have been around 8.

Throughout my teen years, I controlled my dreams so that I was a princess from the planet venus (in a parallel universe). I had powers of flying, telekinesis and teleportation. I battled men from the planet Mars and was usually victorious. Every time I would find myself in a nightmare, I would remind myself that I am the Venusian princess and in that way I would take control of my dream.

As I've gotten older, my dreams have become less lucid, so I am very, very happy to find a site full of thoughtful people dedicated to lucidity.

I know I will learn a lot form this forum and I hope to be able to help out others in my journey.

See you in the forums!
