Hello everyone, my name is Mike. Glad to be here....I was specifically looking for this type of forum and just found it yesterday. I really need a community of dreamers to converse with to push my practice along. I believe that dreaming is always happening, I need only be conscious of it. It is that consciousness that I seek. I've had several lucid dreams, half lucid dreams,...and other types of curious dreams. I've noticed that some dreams occur in the same "world" or "realm"....where everything in that place holds something in common. I have a number of these different places that I seem to travel to from time to time. And so I have begun to categorize types of dreams (though largely untrained in common dreamer language...I use mostly my own). I have had 1. Unconscious dreams (although I remember parts of them I didn't know I was dreaming). 2. Unconscious dreams in "worlds" or "realms" that seem familiar after waking 3. Lucid dreams in which I have tried to bring in my physical body (thereby creating much stress - from fear without body - not knowing how to move. 4. Dreams that begin lucid and then merge into unconscious dreams (I must forget that I know I am dreaming). This last one is to me that most interesting and confusing.
I've gotten decent at securing a method for lucid dreaming however, after obtaining lucidity for a few nights in a row I eventually have a really intense experience that scares me enough to hault my dreamin practices for months. Eventually I get back into it again.
I suppose that's enough....for now. Can't wait to get to know you folks. I'd be interested in experimenting with sharing dreams at some point, as well as more than open to the idea of dreaming for divine purpose....do tell
