Thread: Hello

Hey, just saying hello im new to these forums.

I'm Nineteen, male and from the uk.
Hobbies include: Basketball playing and watching, Skateboarding, Graphic design which im currently studying at university in London, poker and Gym.

For future references my "p" button doesn't work.

My interest in all this happened around a two weeks ago when I had recurring dreams of my friend after he passed away. The third time I dreamt of him I realised I could control my hand movement. Grabbing a DC's shoulder, I woke shortly after falling asleep.

I had my first real experience of lucidity this morning 'Jan 2nd' when my surfboard shrank into a miniture one haha! I was so excited but managed to supress the feeling. I moved my hands around and decided to test out flying and to my suprise I began to float out of the surf, but wasn't in full control of where i was going. Eventually I fell hitting the sand?. I then tested if I could revist Thailand... where i had recently been to last July. Closing my eyes i really willed and tried to envision the scenery changing. When i opened them nothing had happened. When i closed my eyes once more I instantly woke up.

1st question, is closing your eyes a bad idea whilst lucid?

2nd. What is the name for this type of lucid state?

3rd. I've been reading about lucid dreaming for 2 days now and i have two dreams currently in my dream journal starting 2 days ago. Is this normal for me to have had one by now?

Thanks,

Harrow
