Hello to lucid dreamers!

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone.

I found out only today, while watching a movie about dreams, that understanding you are in a dream while dreaming has a special name and is actually a technique. Then I found this web page and read all the theoretical pages and I am very eager to start drying to control my dreams.
I see a lot of dreams. Usually I always remember at least one dream per night. Very rarely I dont remember anything from the night (once after every some months or so). Then I am usually very tired and have been sleeping the whole night. More usually I wake up several times during the night.
Quite often when I am escaping from someone in my dream I realize that it must be a dream (because otherwise things could not be that bad) and then I wake myself up by pinching myself or lately I tend to jump of from a high building. Or sometimes in a dream when I am about to fell from somewhere I realize as well, that it must a dream and its okey to fell as I will just wake up and everything is okey. All those things always happen just before I wake up, because obviously waking up in a dream has worked.
Once, when I was still a teenager (now I am 27) I had a dream where I realized I am dreaming but as well I was able (or more like aware) that I could do what ever I want because its just a dream. It lasted only some seconds, in a measure of dream time, but it was nice. I am amazed that all those things happened just in my head without me wanting it or forcing myself to do it.


Sweet dreams to all of us,

Hey Sinope, welcome to DV! =)

It's pretty cool that you could LD before knowing what it is. What movie is it that you watched?

the movie was BBC Horizon "Why do we dream" 2009.
Its quite interesting. I have always wandered about dreams and how they come and why. As I see many of them its almost unreal to me that some people dont remember any :p.

I think I watched that one. It only mentioned LDing briefly, right? It was pretty interesting.

Yes, it was quite brief mentioning but nevertheless got my interest :)
