Howdy!

[blackmagiclizard]

Just thought I'd drop a howdy to everyone and give a little info about myself. I've been having random lucid dreams since I was 8 or so. Rare for me to remember them, but I never really thought about them till a few months ago when we were discussing them at work. Spent the last couple hours or so reading through the forums and noticed a lot of things that I either do already or have happen a lot. Case in point, I seem to have auditory hallucanations about 2 or 3 times a month. Very vivid dreams, when I can remember them very often. Seem to have woken up and have my whole body just lurch though I think I'm awake I can't ever tell when it happens, usually that will bring me completely awake....freaks me out a bit. And I usually form my dreams by going into a trance like state as I fall asleep, mainly due to my vivid imagination. Might as well do something interesting while I wait to pass out. For the longest time I thought most ppl did the same. It wasnt till one of the guys at work said that it sounded like I had lucid dreams. So I looked it up on the net and found myself here. Which now I know where to go, I'll have to really start trying to figure out how to control them. Now I hope to start a dream journal soon, and also to start working on my dream recall but is there any good suggestions on what works the best for keeping a journal, like a pad of paper and pencil, or should I look for a diary type book?
