Heyyy :)

So I'm new at this whole dream-awareness thing. Dreams have always interested me, and I don't remember how I first came upon the concept of lucid dreaming, but it's always been a dream of mine. I've had a grand total of three lucid dreams in my whole life The first one I acheived just by keeping a dream journal and practicing those dream-question-trigger things (you know, like looking at a clock or your reflection in a mirror) throughout the day. It was a bit nightmare-ish though, and I remember being aware that I was dreaming and controlling myself throughout, but desperately wanting to wake up but not being able to. After that I quit trying to have lucid dreams. I had another one quite by accident about a year later, and it was so much fun that I decided to work at it. I'm currently reading what Charles McPhee, Andrea Rock, and Lisa McMann have written on the subject, and checking out websites and other such information sources. Hope to find some advice here as well Peace.

Awesome! Glad to see somebody knew interested in the world of Lucidity. It's also nice to hear that you've had some already! That's great...some of us aren't so lucky =P. Here are some useful links for you, check em' out if you wish! All the tutorials here in the DV archives: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=74 FILD technique tutorial: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=52001 WBTB technique tutorial: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ead.php?t=5397 That's just the tip of the iceburg; I only chose them because those are good starters for people that just begin (regardless of how experienced they are with having spontaneous Lucid Dreams in the past). There are PLENTY more techniques; just find the one that suits you most! Oh yeah, just so you know, the Lucid Dreams you were probably having are called "DILDs", or "Dream Induced Lucid Dream". That's when your in a dream, sound asleep, and something triggers you to realize that your dreaming (such as you looking in the mirror, or the clock). Just figured I'd say that incase you didn't know! I hope to see you around! also, you can message the staff at any time if you are in need of some assistance; just click "staff" at the top of the website.
