I am not new to dreaming and lucid dreaming. I'm been keeping a dream journal for less than a year now, and it has had great value for my life.

I took a class called "The Psychology of Dreams" at my school over the summer and it was excellent. I gained a great amount of insight from it.

I have had about 4 or 5 lucid dreams which I can remember. The they are absolutely awesome.

But lately, since august, I have not had a lucid dream. It seems ever since the class ended I've gotten more complacent about recording and recalling dreams. For the last month or two, I have been asking nmyself through out the day "Am I dreaming?" Proceed to look at my hands and surrounding to determine. I've been doing this to no avail.

I know that, if I'm doing something and it's not working, I NEED TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE!

So I figured there must be some type of dreaming forum on the internet, and shazam! Found this place.

I am hella excited to begin my journey here on this message board, and know I'm going to get a lot out of it.

Checking in with this place frequently will help me further atune my mind to the realm of dreaming.

So yea, I just wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know I am here to help, to get help, and have a lot of fun

:peace:

SO today I decided to keep a tally on the back of my hand of how many times i asked myself if i'm dreaming or not.

I asked myself 49 times today "Am I dreaming?" proceeded to look at my hands and answered myself, "No, I am not dreaming."

and CHECK THIS. I spent about 45 mins reading this site and then registering last night. Here I am signing back on and my mom comes up to tell me, she had a lucid dream last night!

How awesome is that!?!!! I don't know how that can be explained, maybe ESP or something, like she was picking up on my studying and contemplation of dreaming and lucid dreams? Idk!

SHe told me her dream and said when she finally realized she was dreaming she said "Wait, I must be dreaming!" then she proceeded to use the tactic I use to fully induce lucidity when i figure out I'm dreaming, and that is looking at the palm of my hands to re-affrim. SHe told me when she told her self she must be dreaming, she thought "Oh wait, Bonafide Oneironaut told me to look at my hands if this ever happens." and WAHLA! It worked like a charm

I was so excited and happy for her.

I can tell me registering for this sight is going to serve me in tremendous ways

I am so grateful
