I never did the forum thing until DV, I just wasn't interested. Just ease into it and you'll do great! It helped that I was motivated by dreaming/LD'ing so it wasn't as daunting.

Tutorials here!

I recommend starting simple and moving on from there depending on your interests.

Starting tutorials:

Dream Recall
Dream Signs
DV Dictionary
Lucid Dream Induction Techniques
DILD
WBTB
Reality Check

Also recommend reading the main site information if you haven't already.

Hope you enjoy your stay here!
