Thread: Hello Everyone

I just discovered this site today. I have always been a very vivid dreamer since I was a child. I occassionally sleep walk, as well as talk in my sleep frequently. I usually do remember my dreams as I have had several reoccuring ones through the years. Often times my dreams are so realistic that I do not realize that I am dreaming until I have woken myself up. Sometimes if I have a nightmare I wake up in a sweat and it will take me several minutes to realize that I was dreaming. For example last night I had about 3 dreams, the last involving my teeth, which I recently had dental work performed on. I woke up for a split second at the end, touched my teeth and went back to sleep.

After reading many of your posts I have decided to start a dream journal and attempt to achieve lucidity. I am looking forward to practicing some of the mentioned techniques for controlling my dreams. I am excited to see what the outcome will be.
