Thread: My Story: An Introduction of Sorts.

Hello fellow boardies and dreamers.

I stumbled across this website and forum whilst conducting a Google search of "lucid dreaming" over a week ago. It is not a subject that I am unfamiliar with, but one that I would like to "bring back to life" in a sense.

I'm a twenty-seven year old artist and writer. Florida born and raised and forever sun-kissed and salt-skinned. For as long as I can remember, I have had the ability to obtain lucidity while dreaming. Although this wonderful occurrence has happened mostly during my youth, teenage, and young adult life, it seems as though I have encountered a dry spell over the past several years. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is due largely in part to the stresses of everyday life and parenthood. Apparently, for me, becoming a "grown up" has taken a toll on achieving lucidity, and even dream recall, as I've fallen out of the habit of keeping a journal and such.

I'm hoping that through my participation with this forum and it's members, I'll be able to pick up where I left off several years ago. I'm looking forward to posting a "dream journal" thread.. As well as sharing some of my experiences regarding lucid dreaming, reoccurring dreams, OBE's that I have experienced in the past, along with a string of "nightmares" that I've recently encountered almost nightly upon receiving a surgical procedure a week ago.

I'm also looking forward to many discussions, shared experiences, and future friendships along the way. Thank you for reading my intro!
