Thread: Introduction: AdmiralJedi

Hello, a friend of mine referred me to this forum. I was describing some of my dreams on another forum that we post on and he asked if I was into Lucid Dreaming. Told him I'd heard of it before but that I don't think I do it.

After reading the definition here that LD is just being aware and lucid within a dream then: yes, I do it. Probably once/twice every two weeks. So not very frequently, but I think that's because I can get really crappy sleep for various reasons (bad sleep cycle, snoring, etc.)

I have DILDs (I think that's the proper acronym) where I realize that I'm dreaming within a dream using dreamsigns.

I had really bad nightmares (scary ones, like alien movies and such) when I was a kid, and occasionally I would realize I was dreaming and fly away. Very high into the clouds. I never did anything with the lucidity at that point except escape.

I'm 30 now, and probably about 2-3 years ago I completely lost my ability to fly. In the past 2 years though, my dreams have shifted to a more "gradual and progressive" "discovery" of dream abilities. In my dreams I teach myself to fly better, levitate objects, and so forth. It's very slow and tedious though.

Current dream powers available to me:

Flight
Levitate (objects up to the size of a small car)
Levitate (up to 2 additional human beings, causing them to fly with me)

I'm teaching myself now how to phase through walls, but it's slow. I usually end up inside a wall and lose the dream.

I've ALWAYS wanted to be able to throw some kind of cool, destructive fireball type power (more like the Street Fighter equivalent, and less like the magical equivalent) but I feel that there are aspects to my dream self that are limited by my conscious definitions of what is possible/impossible.

Flight and levitation, however, are _SO_ real for me in the dreams that I SWEAR I can do them in real life. It's like I'm "broken" outside of the dream heh heh.

Anyway, look forward to learning a lot more here and hopefully sharing some experiences and making new friends.
