Thread: First posts are awkward.

yes... discovery and realisation are quite like... burping.
*slowly steps away*
pffft... anyway



welcome to dreamviews, hope to see you around! if you need help, send us a PM

btw I think polilla is an awesome username
can i call you moth???

Originally I wanted to go with 'PaperMoth' but then I decided that sounds more like it ought to be a poem about the perils of conformity.

Moth is fine (if that was a serious question. I can never tell =\)

And thank you for your friendliness. It has been well noted.

Heya. Its great finally finding out that Lucid dreaming is something that can be practised and improved.
The fact you parkour is cool, is that something that influences your dream life?

It is a very noble ambition.

Also, welcome.

You know, I never thought about it before, but the answer would be yes. For me both are a form of escapism, freedom and I guess one definitely, to some degree at least, influences the other.

Haha, nice.

Ok then, we'll see.

Hola Mothy, welcome to Dream Views.

I must say, your intro was much more interesting than the others I've seen.

You should definitely go to the chat sometime (top right corner under the "Welcome, Polilla." section); It's an exciting place.

See you around.

- Moose

Heya Moose,

Thanks [:

I'll consider the offer. Even though real-time communication (of any sort) has never been my thing.

Welcome to Dreamviews, where the lucid dreamers roam and the skys are not cloudy all night!

Nice intro, Polilla, and awesome choice of username. Looking forward to seeing you around. If you need anything, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM personally.

Welcome to Dreamviews.
Here's some advice:

^THIS.

Haha, I'm determined to have the last say in this thread.

So thank you dreamnoob (nice)!

Desert_Claw: Forum bummin' all the way brah!

Hey, there, Pollila. Just got some guidelines to help you have a happy, healthy stay in our community.

1: Religion and Sprituality (R/S) is a minefield
2: In case R/S is not available, Beyond Dreaming (BD) and Extended Discussion (ED) will serve as replacements.
3: Don't feed the trolls.
4: The trolls include Mark75, Carosoul, CarmineEternity, Guitarboy, and Man of Steel. ESPECIALLY Man of Steel.
5: Chat has absolutely nothing to do with anything else on this website. Not even itself. Lucid dreaming chat is never about lucid dreaming. And prepare to be desensitized to anything and everything within 3-4 days.

And now for the real ones
1: You should probably go ahead and start a dream journal now. Even if you already have lucid dreams, this should increase the frequency, and give you more control and memory over them.
2. About the forums:
If I remember correctly, R/S and BD are largely, if not wholely, un-moderated. Seriously, careful where you tread.
Technical discussion belongs in Tech Talk, Technical discussion about the forum itself belongs in the Meta-Forum. I know that sounds stupid, but I find it's a hue mistake.
3. Make sure you read all the guidelines for each forum before posting. This will save everybody a lot of time and trouble.
4. If you get into the website some more, there are "teams" you can join. I'm pretty sure right now these are the writing team, which is working on a book (I was accepted, but don't have the time ) a research team, and art team, and an education, although the last two don't seem to have been very effective lately.
5. If you feel like you would work best with another person, you can join the "adoption program" after you've been here for two weeks. Stick around for the DV Academy coming soon, supposedly new and improved.
6. If you don't want to work with another person, or need any questions answered, you can PM one of the staff members, especially Dream Guides. Although I'd prefer you sent me a PM .
7. Emphasis on the last guideline.

Let me know if I left anything out.

I parkour. I poetry. Grammar, on occasion, is not my friend.

My objective in life is to be a good person. What that has to do with anything...

Bleh, that was tragic. Oh well.

Great start Polilla, you already made a lot of new friends here , truly wonderful keep it up !

Enjoy your stay here at DV

PS: Yes, you picked a good username its better than the 'PaperMoth one !

Omiman7 how you make me laugh! Thanks for that.

And here I thought this would be all buttercups and pleasantries. Mistaken right? At least the nice folk of DV such your swell self have got my back, warning me of trolls and the like! One point though: Man_of_steel commented on this thread, surely that alone exempts him from that list of yours *waves at MoS.

[: Again thanks for the ace tips!

Last say, huh? bring it on!
anyway, the forum is totally the place to be, hands down. that place just happens to have DV members in it - and that is probably all it has in common. the topic discussion is rarely lucid dreaming at all...

You're welcome. Contact me any time you need help.

Also, I added Man Of Steel to the troll list solely because he had replied to this, and would get to see my response. He's actually a pretty nice guy. And he throws some great parties .

DC: Don't sass me boy. Mama means what she says!

And thanks to bad cop shows to me chat rooms= child molesters. What? I'm paranoid is all.

Oniman7: will do [;

eeep

That's DV for you. Buttercups and pleasantries are around, you've just got to look a bit harder.

Thanks, by the way. Waves back.

Oh, you. See if I invite you to any more of those parties.

Paranoid is not necessarily bad. However, I can assure you that there are no child molesters in DV Chat. Crude and distasteful commentary, sexual innuendo, profanity, a lot of flirting (that's mostly me, honestly), the occasional freestyle rap battle, deep philosophical meanderings on the state of existence itself, and very little actual discussion of lucid dreaming, yes. Child molesters, no.

And usually the Lucid Dreaming room actually IS about lucid dreaming. If you happen to pop in and see that it is not, feel free to PM a staff member in chat (if one is present) and let them know.

Anyway, enjoy your stay here at DV, and again, if there is anything I can do for you, from helping you out with dream recall to technical solutions, don't hesitate to let me know. 'Tis what I'm here for.
