I’m from America, but live permanently in Osaka Japan. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a kid, but began really developing it in the last year. I’m using the NovaDreamer and doing lots of reality testing. I do educational research and I am putting together a project related to lucidity and learning.
Lucid dreamers in Japan, and especially Kansai, definitely leave me a message. I’d like to get a Lucid Dreamers in Japan group together. (And I’d really like to find more research subjects. )
This looks like an excellent and active forum.
Super perfundo on the early eve of your day!

I try to LD from about a month with unsatisfaing results
I started with dream journal (which increased my dream recall from about one per month to one per night) RC, and autosugestions.
I had 2 sleep paralysis, but they were kinda strange. I read that most people are afraid of them, I was rather surprised that sth like this happend to me.
I’m Jack, in my twenties and from England, and I’ve just started to get interested in lucid dreaming again after a dry spell of a few months.
In the middle of last year I began reading heavily about the subject and suddenly started spontaneously getting LDs. Sadly since then they’ve dried up but hopefully I can kickstart my brain into entertaining me again.
Hello - I’m Gwyneth, I’m 16, and come from Wales. I used to get lucid dreams way before I knew what they were… when I was a child I’d fly around and use Sabrina-type magic all the time! Now I never get them when I want to, the last one I had was when I was in the bathroom - I looked the clock and the hands were spinning, so I realised it was a dream. I spun them round more with my mind, then I turned the carpet red and made some stuff appear.
I’m really interested in them as they’re the perfect “escape” from “reality” as we know it. I hate the mundane day-to-day reality of life, where many things aren’t possible because of the laws of physics and courseality - but in dreams, anything can happen. I’ve always loved sleeping and stayed in bed late because I love dreaming. I’ve started recording my dreams when I remember to - I’ve kept a dream journal since July 2002, and did one for a few weeks in the start of 2001 too. What I hope to achieve from becoming a frequent lucid dreamer is an insight into my inner self - and to meet people like my ancestors and spirit guide. Also I can do the things I want to do in reality but can’t. I love escaping reality basically, which is probably why I love computer games, writing, reading and acting.
What else can I say? I’m in year 11 at school, hoping to study drama and media studies next year in college. Nice to meet you all.
Hey all! I’ve been lurking around these forums for a few weeks now and finally decided, “What the Hell, I guess I’ll join in the fun.” Seems like a pretty decent forum and a great place for a free exchange of ideas.
I’m 19 years old and I heard about lucid dreaming on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell a few years ago when Dr. LaBerge was on. I have only recently decided to devote the time necessary to master this realm of consciousness, and I thought what a better place to start than here.
I have only had a few “true” lucid dreams since I seriously began a few months ago.
I’m a smartass by nature, so don’t be offended at things I might say. I’m probably just goofin’
Well, I guess I’m done saying Hi.
P.S. I know there are probably some questions about my name(there always are on every forum I’m ever on ). Maybe one day you will discover the “Mysterious Origins of snotpox”
Hello people.
I’m 15 years old and in 10th grade. I’m really interested in lucid dreaming, and I’ve only had one lucid dream on purpose but I’m determined to have more. I remember having one a long time ago but I didn’t think much of it, especially since it was a nightmare from watching the twilight zone when I was way too young.
I like to write and I’m getting close to finishing a novel, but I realized that when I get deep into writing a book that it’s not near as fun for me, so I don’t think writings totally for me, even though it comes natural.
My biggest interest right now is music. I love punk rock and psychadelic music, like Pink Floyd. I’m learning how to play the guitar. It’s such a blast.
I like martial arts a lot, and I’ve taken many years of a couple different styles, including Tang Soo Doe and Tae Kwon Doe.
I’m a little bit into politics and I like to know what’s going on in the world, and not just what the mass media tells you. It bothers me when people just don’t care what’s going on in the world and just believe what they’re told like a bunch of mindless drones so that the government can take advantage of them as much as they want. I feel that it’s everyones job to fight at least a little bit of happy stupidity, but I know it’s a lot easier for people to resort to comfortable lies instead of the uneasy truth. I could write many pages on that topic, so I’ll end it there.
I’m really looking forward to having more lucid dreams and experimenting in them. I’m sure that with all the smart people on this forum I’ll have more luck, and I hope for good luck to everyone.
hi i’m stacy. i haven’t tried LD’s, just trying to get info about them. i’ll probably try tonight. i first heard about them a few days ago on the tv show Ed where he has a LD. some of my hobbies are playing softball, field hockey (my school’s the state champs!), piano, and flute. i’m 15 and in 9th grade. my favorite tv shows are the whole thursday line-up on NBC (friends, ER…), alias, gilmore girls, CSI, ed, american idol, and my new fav, boston public.
Hello everyone. I’m 15 and have been having (low level) LDs since I was about 9. Around half of my recent dreams are lucid, and of low-medium lucidity (I think).
Hi I’m John, and I’m 13. I like dreams they are like realy fun. So I wantto have LD’s cause they sound fun. I get some weird dreams. I was once in this fantasy world where I had to run from these guy shooting at me. But I just kept rolling instead of running to dodge the bullets. Then I started flying in this weird plane. And I was a friend with a bear. And i saw weird people who live like beavers in there houses, and i had to sgoot down planes that were all flying the same way. And once, well I’l shut up cause i know you people want me too. But it was a cool dream. Any way, uhh, happy dreaming.
My name is Z and my first lucid dream was about 6 months ago. Then i watched Waking Life and realise it was a lucid dream and since then I have had approx 6. Usually I will have one LD per month but this month I have already had 2. Yay!!
Anyway I think this site is great. To have a place to communicate with other intelligent people and share knowledge and info about LD’s. Thank u to the founder of this site may it bring many people to have LD’s as often as possible:)
Lowers his head and accepts the encouraging nods and claps of sympathy from the fellow dreamaholics.
So. I’m a 20 year old student from Finland. I had the first LD I can remember a couple of years ago. I ran from someone, jumped off a tower and noticed I could fly. The moment of lucidity was relatively short but, well, I was hooked. By then I hadn’t heard of lucid dreaming. At some point I read about it somewhere, and found a link here.
Been practicing more lately. I’m looking to master the art by the time I have grandchildren.
i found this site from another forum…i’m dawn, 21 and in omaha, ne. this looks like a good board, and i hope to have some good conversations with ya’ll and learn things as i go along…
I’m Daron ,yeah I know I have a guys name. Haha Does anyone have any suggestions on good dream journals to read? I love hearing other people’s experiences.
Dreams are the funniest things. No one really knows where they’re coming from, or how they are made. Maybe that’s a part of why I’m drawn to them.
I love dreams, ever since I remember I loved to wake up slowly, let the dreams go on.
I’ve been lucid years and years before I even knew what “lucid” meant. Thought it too, that that was “the way everyone dreamt”. Then I read somewhere that most people don’t dream in collour, that most people don’t have the ability to smell in their dreams.
Dreams scare me sometimes, not because of what happened in them, but of one specific smell that keeps coming back. A smell that means “beware”.
I’m play the recorder and piano. Love to read fantasy, and I try to write as well. So I’m kind of an artist Hey, that gives me the right to dream!
Am 23, live in Belgium, and I consider Oxford (England) my “second home”. This june, if all goes well, I’ll finish my studies as journalist.
Hey Jeff, Hey Gwenyth and of coarse all u other lovely people,
Thanks for saying hi
Hey Jeff when did u start LD’s? U seem to be a veterin on this site.
Gwenyth, how many LD’s have u had. DO u usually remember your dreams?? No need to be scared of anything u seem happy and positive and therefore no negativivity can affect u.
I had my first ld in 1984 lol Z!
There was no internet for me then…2 years later i found a book by laberge! I just had lucid dreams from 1984 out fo the blue…lol…
Tried most things in a ld, i will always love lucid dreaming…i think you get hooked to it once you have them for your whole live, its addicting lol!
Thats so true Jeff. It’s very addictive. But it enable u to live for almost 24 hours a day, which is amazing. For how ever many hours awake in this reality an then however many hours in a playground of dreams where u r the boss or god or whatever u want to call it.
I have found that my dream recall since having LD’s has increased but 100’s of % and also my LD frequency had just started picking up. I find LD’s so fascinating. That is I find all dreaming fascinating.
Wow u have been having LD’s for yonks. Do u have really long LD’s and r they really vivid? WHats your longest and what is the thing u most like to do in them??
