Thread: Newbie with some experience

Hi there,

I see from some threads that you guys are you having some fun!

I just wanted to introduce myself and share my experience with you. I had some fun with my brain too.

Dream recall
I generally have a good dream recall, almost every night I remember one dream, but if I don't pay much attention, I forget about it. When I was about 12 I was reading my mom's Freud book about dream interpretation, and also a less scientific interpretation book (for lotto purposes . Just the fact that I was reading that in that period gave me good dream recall every night; I also kept a journal. I know that the journal really works.

Out of body experiences
The first one happened when I was 15, I didn't even know that such thing could have been possible, so I genuinelly thought I was dead! But I was extremely calm, also in the future these experiences have always been good.
For a period I did relaxations every day and in the end I was able to actually provoque the experience... every time it was me floating about 20-30 cm out of my body. Now it's been a few years, and it doesn't happen if not in very rare cases..
Sometimes I would get lucid during a dream, feeling a vibrating sensation and think.. yes, I can get out of my body. I would jump in the dream and wake up out of my body. (seems crazy!)

Lucid dreams
I got occasionally a few of them.
As a child I probably had the best one. Since I can remember I used to dream about dinosaurs chasing me until I fell down from a mountain cliff. Every single night!
One evening (I was about 4) I was really fed up, and while getting to sleep I thoought to myself "it's just a dream, it's just a dream". When I got asleep and starting to see dinosaurs I heard my voice saying the above... At that point I became lucid and I had no fear anymore, all the dinosaurs went down the cliff this time and I had my first no-nightmare dream! That had been amazing.

As a child I often dreamt to get up, go to the bathroom etc.. and this ends with a wet bad Or I would dream to get up in the middle of the night, watch the time in the kitchen and come back to bad, feel a jump telling me that that was a dream..

The most recent ones: I was in a spectacular city, really something never saw before; I get lucid and start congratulated myself because if that was all in my mind, I had been wonderfully creative
Sometimes I would realize that I am dreaming, getting excited because I can do whatever I want, but often I wake up or not controlling or getting something I don't want.. I should probably learn some techhniques..

In the latest one, I was suprised of how everything looked and felt exactly the same as reality; I touched and scratched my arm to try and I felt the "real sensations".

All this is fascinating, I look forward to read and learn more from you!
