Thread: Hey, new member

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself..
I had basically only heard about lucid dreaming from a book before visiting this website (though I had experienced it). I've read through some stuff now, and am very motivated to learn to control my dreams. I have as far as i can remember only experienced lucid dreaming like twice, and want to learn lucid dreaming just to have fun.

In the only lucid dream that i remember more or less clearly i was mostly having fun. Can't remember what made me realize i was dreaming, but when i did, i "spawned" my favourite friends and made myself fly all around the place (pretty dreamy and unrealitstic allright).

Anyhow, after reading on this site about dream awareness I realize that I have had dreams where I have been aware that i was dreaming, however i was not in control of those dreams. (i guess it's a start).

Also I did read the tutorial on how to fight nightmares with lucid dreaming, and I noticed... "Hey! I've done this before!".
In that dream i was being chased by flying dinosaurs, and no matter where i fled, they kept finding me. (There were a masacre near the shopping mall). Anyway I hid in the chirch, but they came after me still. So cornered inside the chirch I closed my eyes (I think i knew i was dreaming) and simply thought very hard on how i wanted the dinosaurs to be gone.
Next to me a remote control appeared (I had seen the movie "click") I pushed "pause" and all the dinosaurs froze.. Then i clicked the standby button, and they were gone!


Quite a bit of dream recalling for a introduction, but it will have to do
I hope that with my previous "experience", and with some of these methods, i will be able to have lucid dreams mostly at will.
