Thread: Hello!

As usual, I can't think of good titles.

So I've been lurking for two and a half months and I can finally join!

I'll probably wait a couple of days before posting (outside of this thread, and maybe start a DJ), so that I can calm down and won't sound like an immature kid (even if I am. ).

Anyways, hi!

EDIT: I forgot to ask my questions:

1. Is it bad that I'm relying on a mantra for dream recall so much? I started using it (diligently) a few days before March:
   
   There were 4 dreams in January (starting on the 24th, about when I started a dream journal), 12 in Febuary, 60-ish in March, and 22 so far in April (several of those are fragments, and several of those were on the 6th).
2. I read somewhere on Wikipedia (can't find it anymore) that it is better to write your dreams as if they were happening while you wrote it, is that true?
3. How big of an image can I put on the front of my DJ? The one I have is 600x801.
4. Some other questions that I thought of before, but I can't remember now.

If it's working for you, keep doing it until you feel that you don't need to use it anymore. It's great to see that you've gotten a lot of progress from it.

A lot of Lucid Dreamers I know like to write any dream they have in the present tense. I forget the reason why, though. I personally think it's just preference. I write mine in the past tense, although I'm thinking about switching to see how it affects my recall.

On the front of your DJ? Not sure about that one. I believe we only have a size limit for signatures, so there shouldn't be a problem.

I'm not sure if I want to ever stop using it. I'll probably stop for a couple nights to see if I need it, though.

I'll just write it past tense then, since it's habit.

I guess I'll put that up later today then (It'll be a nightmare to post everything. ).

Kitty cake!

My brother also got an iPod shaped one.
