      Hello Everyone

      Through a random chat with a friend I have met on an online game, I came to the conclusion that I would very much like to start studying about dreams and especially Lucid Dreams. I have very little background in this area so it will be alot for me to take in from day to day. I picked up a book on Lucid Dreams after my friend and I chatted at some length and have just started to read it. Every since I was a teenager, I have always wondered how dreams worked and even how to intrepret dreams. I thought I would start here being that I have scanned the forums and have found many excited people who now share in the same interest as myself. Remember! I'm new so try to be patient with me as I start a new journey in life.

      One topic that I would be interested in is how dreams affect people with mental illnesses, including Bipolar which I have been diagnosed with. I take medication to help induce sleep. I'm eager to learn how these medications will or will not affect my limitations of dreaming.

      Thanks in advance for having me and I am anticipating a great ride here on these forums.

      Hey, welcome to the forum! What book did you pick up? I highly recommend Exploring the World of Lucid Dreams by Stephen Laberge, it's really good.

      Also, the tutorials on the site are really good! You should definitely check them out.

      Hi! Welcome to the forums.

      I've heard a lot of good things about that book. I'm contemplating buying a copy myself...

      I think you'll find that the majority of the information on this site is (at least loosely) based on that book. Most of us are familiar with it, so if you come across any questions, feel free to ask.

      Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I have already found some very nice people here and have been enjoying reading the dream journals before I try to make my own.

      Like they said, that book is great, and everything they say about dreams is right.

      I just had my first lucid last night, after I picked up that book 5 days ago and started training. I might be a natural, but it's encouraging to have tested and see that alot of what they say is the truth.

      Good luck, don't give up after a short period of time. It'll happen. ^^

      About time you started posting.

      (about time I started noticing it I guess too.)

      I recommended you that book cause it's just awesome. It's our bible, and Stephen LaBerge is our God.
