Forever's Gonna Start Tonight

Good morning! My name is Trenton, I live in Michigan, and I am somewhat of an experienced dreamer. Though I have not achieved lucidity yet, my biggest personal goal is to finally reach it this summer. I have made attempts in the last couple of years, though by the time school rolls around, dreaming is the last thing on my mind.

I have kept dream-logs in the past, and cannot wait to share my upcoming dreams with this great community! My dreams have a funny correlation, it seems the better my dream recall becomes, the number of nightmares I have increases. Being a person who loves horror and being scared in general, I usually use my dreams as a source of inspiration for stories.

In my personal life, I am an animal lover. I have a German Shepherd, Grizzly, and a pet Russian Tortoise named Tonka.

I will be a high school graduate this coming Sunday, and plan on going to college for journalism, communications, and creative writing. I love writing editorials, short stories, scripts, anything with the written word. I also love acting, and am a huge theater nut- owning dozens and dozens of cast recordings of musicals.

If my body were my interests, music would probably be my right arm. I love it and am always on the prowl for my next favorite song. I love Meat Loaf, he is my favorite singer period.

That's me in a nutshell! See you all out there!

Nice pets. Do the tortoise bite?

Welcome to dreamviews.

If you haven't allready, take a look at the sticky at the top of the page, that will help you. Also tutorials.

Good Luck.

:welcome: to DV, I look forward to reading your dream journal.

Are you a fan of Bonnie Tyler?

Welcome to Dream Views.

Meat Loaf is awesome. Paradice by the Dashboard Light and Two Out of Three Ain't Bad are my favourites.

At any rate, hope you have fun here. I know I am.

My name is Kevin and my friend recently told me about this site, so I decided to join. According to this site and my friend, I am a natural lucidity achiever.:banana:. Btw, you probably haven't seen me before because I'm new.

I see someone caught the title reference :D

I love Bonnie Tyler, 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' especially. A little trivia, Jim Steinman wrote that song, along with Meat Loaf's first two Bat albums. I love his music, and he sure finds the best voices to sing it!

Jim Steinman wrote almost all of her songs. In fact, he wrote a song called Stark Raving Love for Meat Loaf that was never recorded, he reused the music for Bonnie Tyler's "I need a hero" :D Jim Steinman did write a few of the songs off of the third Bat album too, but not all of them, most notably "It's all coming back to me now," which of course Celine Dion butchered.

Jim wrote "Stark Raving Love" and performed it, himself, on his debut album. I recognized the intro immediately as the same from "Holding Out for a Hero"!

Though I love Bat III, I still have mixed feeling about Meat. He basically stole Jim's music after he became too ill to go on with the project. Though I think he improved "If It Ain't Broke, Break It" (which Jim wrote for an MTV adaptation of Wuthering Heights), and "The Future Ain't What It Used to Be" (which appeared on the Steinman-produced album, 'Original Sin', by the girl-group Pandora's Box).

Regardless, I am happy to meet another Steinmaniac!

P.S.
"It's All Coming Back to Me Now" also appeared, originally, on 'Original Sin'. I love all three incarnates of the song (Original Sin, Celine, Meat & Marion). I have a soft-spot for Meat's duet, because a very close friend and myself always sing it, haha.

I don't, for me it only works as a duet.

He never meant for Bad for Good to be his own album, he intended it to be Meat Loaf's second album, but Meat Loaf's voice was trashed from touring and he needed to recover before making a new album so Jim recorded the songs himself.

:D

:welcome: :D! I hope you will enjoy sharing your dreams here, and I'm certain you will get Lucid this summer ;)!
