I have been observing the forum for quite a while and I am really interested. I have always known about lucid dreaming in my subconcious I think.. Because there was always somthing that I knew but I didnt and it really came to me when my friend was talking about LDs. I was over his house and he had some crazy mp3 file that was supposed to make you control your dream. I was like.. "Heck why not". I just had this strange sense I already knew about lucid dreams.

Edit: I remember when I was very young I had this dream that was so realistic. It was like I knew I was dreaming. It was extremely fuzzy like the bright bright sun in my face. I kept focusing and focusing on my gameboy and I wanted to see it so badly. But I focused so hard I think I woke up. I realise now that this could have been a near-lucid experience.

Somthing I am proud of is Dream Recall. Ever since I was old enough to really remember things I could remember dreams. I have even kept a dream journal since 8. It was always natural for me. I liked it a lot too! Recording them is quite fun and I never have trouble remembering any details. The only exceptions are when I drink caffine and stay up late. This interferes heavily with your dreams I believe.

Anyway I know all of my dream signs. There is slight consistency in them. 80% of the time I dream it is somthing with nuclear war, the world ending, games, barren places, machines, futuristic things. Very weird things. I am always the person in the dream and am usually the one that knows all the stuff and is good at whatever is going on.

I have been trying a lot and studying LDs and I haven't been able to do it. I'll be in a dream but my mind doesn't remember to actually say I am in a dream. I usually 75% of the time KNOW im in the dream but can't take that small step. I even try playing the lucid induction mp3 where a man is telling you you are dreaming and stuff every now and then. In the background is strange sounds to stimulate your mind or somthing. Anyway I can't sleep very well with this on. HOWEVER, with using it I experience more dreams and I come out rested. I find it really intriguing. I need advice on how to actually get my mind to LD. I do reality checks in the day, I think it before I sleep, its big for me!!

Also.. PSI got me REALLY interested. I thought I experienced this once because I was so intent on starting a fire and it felt like I was actually trying to make it just start that I saw somthing go up. It was a quick flash and it was really weird. I can't really explain it well and I wasn't using matches. I dont know any of the Psi Terms.. Gyrokenisis, pyrokenises... I dont know what any of it is. Could somone show me a link or explain all of the PSI things discussed here!?
