I've been lurking in these forums for a while now, and getting a lot from the site Thanks for putting together a site that provides helpful information without being too new-agey or speculative.

I'm a scientist who studies the mind (though not dreaming specifically) and I'm interested in exploring the mind's possibilities from within, as well as without. I've been meditating for years, and when I heard about LDs I wanted to try that as well. I have a lucid dreams in fits and starts, with as many as a few a week and then a dry spell as long as a month or two.

I've learned that as silly as it seems, regularly keeping a dream journal increases my chances of lucidity tremendously. I think its something about making dreaming part of our personal narrative. I hope that by participating in these forums I can get a similar effect, and learn more about dreaming in the process.
