Hello everybody,

This is my first post on these boards, so i figure i will share a little bit about myself and my dream habits.

I am currently 23 years old, and i'm about to celebrate my 24th birthday on the 12th of next month. I have always loved dreaming and having dreams. As far as i can remember i have always had vivid dreams.

When i was a youngster, starting around 3 or 4, i remember always having nightmares. These presisted for many years and came in different forums, some reoccuring, some just different. I remember praying every night at one point so i would stop having them, and eventually i they stopped.

During my teen years, i was plagued by deja vu. This occurance become such common place that i began dismissing them as just another deja vu. I blame my dreams for them personally, and i feel many of my unremembered dreams are related to my deja vu.

As i approached my 20's, i have begun to have lucid dreams. I tryed to find out if anybody else has had similar experiences as myself, but many of my friends didn't know anything about it. Until tonight, i didn't even know that there was a term used to describe the experiences i was having during my dreams.

I did a quick google search last night on dream interpretations because i was interested in finding information about some of my reoccuring dreams. While searching through the site i read mention about lucid dreams. I also found a link from the forums of that web site to this one.

I read through this sight, and here i am on the forums as a new register.

It's cool to know other's are having the same experiences i am within my dreams, and i'm looking forward to honing in on my abilities to become concious, and aid in the shaping of my dreams.

see you around the forums.
