Hello! Sort of an Intro Here
Hey everybody. I'm a returning member under a different name. I've been away from the lucid dreaming game for too long, and it's high time I've come back.
A little background: I'm a high school student, a senior this year. I enjoy school for the most part. I enjoy learning, and there's good socializing at school. Mostly a fan of math and science, although I really like Roman and Greek history (mostly Roman), which was a primary reason I took a Latin class. After realize the immense use of this classical language, I continued in my study. I'm also in French. My teacher is little more than useless, but I do what I can, and she does hit the note a couple of times. I like psychology and philosophy; I find both interesting.
In my spare time, I just enjoy the normal teenage rituals such as socializing, although I do find that I'd rather spend my time in a state of soberness rather than a drunken or high stupor as some do. To each their own. Video games are fun. I kick it old school with my PS2 and a laptop I bought 3 years ago which can hardly run games on their lowest settings. It's around time I buy a desktop, which I'm likely to do within the next couple of months, more towards the end of my senior year, before college. Guitar Hero is always fun, Baldur's Gate series is a great hack'n'slash a couple times through. Need for Speed series is great, high replay; Most Wanted is the definite favorite.
A little of my lucid dreaming history. I've had a total of 11 lucid dreams. Not a large number, but I hope to increase it. My ultimate goal: Be able to lucid dream every night. It's a big goal, but hey, I'm only 17. I have the rest of my life to practice this :D. So far, I've attempted to do a WILD multiple times, all with failure. I prefer not to perceive this inability to WILD as a failure, but rather an indication of a lack of experience. I really hope I can learn a lot from all you knowledgeable folks! In turn, I hope that one day I'll be able to contribute something! Naturally, all my LDs to date have been DILDs. I almost always use the MILD technique before I sleep, hoping that it'll cause me to do an RC in my dream. I also try to do RCs through the day, but I as of yet have no real dreamsigns (I'm restarting my journal and hope to derive some after a few nights), so the process is greatly hindered by this. Unless I'm mistaken, the practice the MILD technique, it's a good idea to set up a routine to do RCs, such as: every time I walk through a door, see a specific person, every hour. I hear that reinforces memory.
Anyways, thanks for reading this book. I hope to learn a lot from this great community and give back anything I can! :D
