Thread: Hello

I'm not sure why you've never heard of it before, it's so much fun. I'm sure that you'll have one soon. You might want to check out the Induction Techniques tutorial and focus on the DILD and WBTB techniques. Also the Dream Signs and Reality Check tutorials.

Welcome! Yea, I'd never heard of it until I had my first one and was like, "whoa what was that?!" Strangely, not so many people know and it seems to be taboo. I guess just not enough people are open-minded?

I'm glad you've discovered the world of LDing though And you seem to have embraced it

I think the other problem is that it does take a little bit of work, as you've seen when it comes to writing in a DJ, that most people don't seem willing to actually put in. You seem to be off to a good start with your journal in general though, so I am sure you will be initiated into the world of LDing soon Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to be able to help

Make sure to do a reality check (http://www.dreamviews.com/community/....php?p=1057431) every time you think you've woken up to catch those false awakenings

Thanks for all the useful advice guys.

Shift - thanks, I can't think of anything to ask right now, but I'll be sure to ask when I think of something.
I shared my discovery about lucid dreaming with a few friends and they weren't too intrigued. Either the idea of entering a world without boundries where anything is possible doesn't sound appealing to them or they just didn't believe me. Their loss I guess...

Actually, I do have a question. What are the chances I'll meet the "dweller" ? I read about this occurence last night and to be honest, I'd love to experience that, even though I know it's supposed to be fightening. How often does this occur ?

Anyways, two nights ago I recalled two dreams, waking up after each. I used autosugestion and told myself that I'd wake from and remember all my dreams. Last night I only managed to remember one although in very little detail. I wrote them down immediately, of course.

Hey and welcome!! The most important infomation i can give to you is do reality checks, and keep a dream journal and never ever ever say "I can't do this" Never doubt yourself and soon you will have a LD.

Good for you!
I'm not sure what these dwellers are, and I don't believe in any of these dream walkers or whatever else, I believe such things are complete and total nonsense. It would not be difficult to summon a dream character who is personified by what you imagine a "dweller" to be, and I think that this is why people think they are real. Scary things are bad enough in dreams, but when you lose your rationality and assume that they aren't even a figment of your imagination, of course they take on a more "invincible" role. The most powerful creature you can imagine can be in your dreams if you want it to (or don't want it to). All you have to do is expect, suspect, or fear that it will be there.
