Thread: intro: Experienced Lucid Dreamer with more to learn

Welcome to Dreamviews, Novise!

Normally I would direct you to the tutorial section, or ask you if you have any questions about dreaming, but it seems that you're way ahead of me there.

As far as seeing dreams in a more spiritual way, I can relate to you there quite a bit. Many people here feel the same, and others want to view it in a more scientific, black-and-white manner. Beyond Dreaming is more of a place for debate than discussion as it is, but if you stick around for a little while, I'll invite you into Deep Dreaming, which is more philosophical discussion with little debate, leaving more room for exploring different perspectives.

We're glad to have such an experienced dreamer here! You're more than welcome to post your dream journal entries in the dream journal forum where people can read and comment.

Thanks Naiya. I've been impressed by what I've seen so far. Some things in the tutorial like WILDs I had never heard of, but they ring true with me. I've come across some good explanations for things I previously thought were unexplained, so it's a bit of a shift for me.

I actually tried the jump and spin technique for clarity (er stability) last night! Spinning like a figure skater in the air. It did work, but I was well on my way to waking up by the time I did it. I'm already following tips I've read in the tutorials. It's probably going to be quite a change for me.

I've read some other's dream journal entries and I was quick to learn that they have done much more than me. I like them, they ring much more true than most "dream recounts" I have come across on the web. I want to read a few more tutorials and spend some time reading other's journals, get used to the lingo a little too. I want to incorporate these things before I really start adding to the discussion. And frankly it's really cool to see some honest dream journal entries, the likes of which I don't think I've really come across in much quantity ever.

One thing this site seems to have done is shut down the "super power" mentality when it comes to lucid dream ability, so people aren't in a hurry to try to prove something. That's a very good thing. I haven't seen much of the site overall, but that's the feeling I get right now.

The philosophy forum is one i'll get into definetly, once I've gotten accustomed to the way people talk about dreams around here. Seriously considering starting a dream journal on here as I read others, again once I get used to all this. It will probably be a bit like starting over, it seems.

Welcome. I yet to have my first lucid dream. When my friend told me about this site I was so excited. I hope you learn many new things!

Thanks Mancon. I have a friend who has never recalled going lucid before and I'll be telling about Dreamviews if he asks me about dreams again. Until now I never really had anywhere to point him to. My advice for you about your dreams and trying to get lucid: focus on your dream journalling. Also don't get down if you aren't getting lucid, focus on that recall. Wow, you really reminded me of some things, I need to take my own advice.

I'll be staying with your journal and commenting if I have anything I can help with.
