My name is John, I'm a student living in England and a couple of days ago I read the wikipedia article on lucid dreaming and became very interested in the subject.

I'm a biochemistry student and I have no trouble becoming enthusiastic about and interested in most of my projects at university, but this is the first undertaking I've come across in a long while that has gotten me really excited.

I've only ever had two lucid dreams in the past and in both instances the realisation that I was in a dream caused me to wake up. I hadn't realised that these dreams could be extended or that greater degrees of control were possible. My dream recall is unfortunately very limited at the moment; I can only seem to remember fragments of dreams at best. Then again I havn't made the effort to remember until now so hopefully things will change.

I don't have any specific intentions other than exploring this process and seeing what is possible. I will go to the 'Dream Journal' section now and record my recollections from last night. I'm looking forward to a long and fascinating experience on this site
