Thread: Hello!

I'm Leah.

I read a book-The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula Leguin a few months ago which involved lucid dreaming, and I thought it was just something of science fiction or something, until I ran across this site a little bit ago.

The more I read about lucid dreaming, the more it seems that I do it without even knowing it. I suppose I'd like to get better at it, but every time I become aware that I'm dreaming, I feel pain and stiffness in my body, and a lack of control over myself. Simply an awareness. I also sometimes get panicked and need to take quick short breaths to wake myself up.

I remember quite a few dreams that I have, but I'm only aware of myself in maybe a quarter of them. I only remember when I go to sleep extremely tired, or take naps. Most of the dreams that I do recall are either nightmares or dreams of very deep love.

I'm still reading up and researching all of this, and it seems like a really interesting thing. I think that I can get stronger with it, but hope that its not painful once I get more into it.

I look forward to getting to know people here and improve my skills.
