Hey, fellow dreamers.

So here's my story. All my life I've been an avid dreamer and have enjoyed dreaming immensely. It wasn't until recently, while discussing dreams with a friend, that I became aware of Lucid Dreaming. My friend, you see, is a natural lucid dreamer and immediately stoked a jealousy in me that would not be quieted until I learned to do this for myself.

For the first time in my life, I was dissatisfied with my dream life.

So a couple of days ago, a quick google search brought me here. I read about the simple techniques for doing a Reality Check and immediately put it into practice. That night I was very excited, and being a natural insomniac, I didn't get much sleep. Lots of tossing and turning. When I did manage to fall asleep, alas, no lucid dreams.

I was not discouraged. My vigilant reality checking continued the following day (yesterday) and I looked forward to my first night of success. I was not disappointed.

Last night, while dreaming, I became aware. Unfortunately, I was so excited by this, that I immediately awakened. This happened two or three more times; lucidity, wakefulness, lucidity, wakefulness. Eventually, I decided I needed to stop trying, or I wouldn't get a good night's sleep! Nevertheless, I am thoroughly excited and encouraged by such immediate success. After all, it's only been two days!

So I wished to share the beginnings of my success and hopefully the start of a long life of lucid dreams with you all. Thank you, to all who contribute to this website, for your generous instructions.
