wow thanks for the great advise guys! I havent been at this for more than a month and I've alreaady LD'd like 3 times!! how is that possible? I havent kept a Dream Journal, haven't identified a single one of my dream signs, havent in general had time to practice ANYTHING that I've read in this great site, and yet I've had 3! I really dont see how this is possible; I suffered a somewhat debilitating "accident" I guess u might call it recently (heart problems) and ever since I came home it started, and its not that I can control anything that happens in them, like Mario92 said, it appears LD and dream control are two completely different things, but still, could just thinking so much about this topic have caused me to gain lucidity without trying? If so I really dont want to get my hopes up that it will be so easy in the future, I'd already made up my mind that it would be a long and complicated journey!! thanks all!
