Looking at new worlds.

Hello there.
I'm DingoBoy (Though I answer to Dingo as well), and I hope my travels into Lucid Dreaming will be as interesting as some of the tales I have already read.

I am a long time Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan, have written several "short stories" (as Yanks like to call it), and also acted as a Game-Master for a RolePlaying group for years. So I am pretty used to working my imagination.

Before stumbling upon the concept of Lucid Dreaming, I had never considered there was other ways short of Narcotics (Not that I'm to uptight to smoke a Blunt, but really..) to literally alter your reality. So I am already eagerly awaiting my first Lucid Dream. I have so many things to do.

I hope I'll be able to maintain an interest in this forum, though that should not be overly hard. It DOES seem more interesting than other forums I've been to (and even been banned from! - But that's another story).

If order to give my internet persona a bit more flavor - for, really, who cares about yet another faceless poster? - I'll describe myself in short terms for those interested (and for those not, as well. There runs my sadistic streak).

First and forth most, I am a Communist. I am a strictly Atheist, devoted Marxist-Leninist, and have been a Communist Party member for years. I am an Anti-Revisionists, and have little or nothing to do with appoligistic or Trotskjist stream of the Communist movement. Though I an not a fan of the sadly religious view of Communist thinking some movements seem to have adopted. In extension of this, I am also culturally liberal. I refuse to take part in demonization of innocents based on their sexuality or belief. No matter what the hell people are into, I try and judge them from their actions.

I am also a bit of a bookworm. Aside from the obvious (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Hoxha), I rather enjoy Stephen King, and other writers such as Lovecraft, Poe, and Shakespear. Literary art is one of my primary sources of enjoyment.

Currently I am working on being a better C programmer (C++ mastery yet to come), and learning Arabic. Both are purely for my own enjoyment - I am not a professional programmer, and have little or no reason to learn Arabic. Apart from "I want to".

So, I hope you're still alive from having read all that crap, and interested in including me into your virtual fellowship.

Salaam, (and whatnot)
DingoBoy.

Hey welcome.
You should have a steady sleep schedule and start a dream journal to help your recall. And I would also recommend that you check out the tutorial section.

Thanks for the advice.
I do keep a dream journal, have for some years. I had some dreams about some unpleasantness as a child, and knowing what they were about helped a bit. So that part's already covered.

Comradely,
DingoBoy.

Dingo!!!

We have a plethora of information to get you started. The biggest, as eppy has mentioned, is the Tutorial Section, that has new tutorials posted every once in a while. The newest being the Dream Stabilization tutorial.

Since you've never had an LD before, once you've been an active member for 2 weeks, if you chose, you can make a post in the Adoption Program under Additional Resources. This program is designed for inexperienced Lucid Dreamers of DV to be "adopted" by a more experienced or more knowledgeable DV member for one-on-one learning about Lucid Dreaming. You'll also make a friend in the process!

I've never met a Communist before, so that was cool to read. But since you said that, I feel I may as well warn you that unless you like overly-overheated arguments that go nowhere, I'd advise you stay out of The Lounge. It'll make your DV stay much nicer.

If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome to DV, Dingo! I'm also a sci-fi/fantasy aficionado, so I share your excitement of exploring the world of lucid dreaming

Even just the feeling of realizing that you're dreaming is a treat in and of itself. I wish you the best of luck and many sweet lucid dreams!

Snowy and eppy gave great advice, and feel free to let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

The Lounge isn't too bad, but there are some *cough* interesting discussions in some of the other off-topic forums, namely Extended Discussion (ED), Philosophy, and Religion/Spirituality (R/S). Not really my cup of tea... at all.

I can see all your interests leading to some great dreams. I imagine learning to lucid dream is nowhere near as hard as learning Arabic.

Remember. Despite what the US want's you to think, we DON'T all eat babies. I don't really need more political discussions, so I suppose I'll take your advice.

Thank you. All tree of course.

Well, it's good I don't know what the US wants me to think, then.
