to all of the new comers that have come!
Please have a good time and you can PM anyone questions; don’t be afraid.
Wow thanks. The people here seem to be some of the nicest I have met in a while 
I’m glad to have joined this forum and hope to become good mates with you guys 
A more formal introduction i guess.
I have had lucid dreams since i was little, but i have had trouble even recalling dreams for the last few years. 
Well last week i was thinking “I wonder what the wiki article has to say about dreams” so i looked it up and eventually found out about lucid dreaming, did a quick google search and found this website. After reading many posts and techniques and expieriences, i’ve gotten very interested in the idea and practice of what is lucid dreaming.
I started trying for lucid dreaming, well yesterday. For first huge block of sleep lasted for 8 and a half hours with several (in two years) recalled vivid dreams. 
My 30 minuites (never figuired out how to spell that) of self-proclaimed REM led to atleast 2 very weak lucid dreams (which in both i just thought about longboarding) but the moment i figuired out i was lucid i woke up.
Anyways, i’m keeping a dream journal and i might as well put it up here once i get going for a week or so.

hello Towel 
well, now you have joined a lucid dreaming community, your interest in dreams should increase and so your recall will improve too 
Plus you will find techs to boost your lucidity level and find topics to give you ideas of what to do when lucid 
you could choose a quote from the hitchhiker’s guide for your LD4all signature 
Hello every one, I´m new here 
And I´ve found this page some days ago and I thought this was very intressing. So my goal of this lucid dreaming stuff will be to learn WILD.
I want to appologize for my bad english (I´m from Sweden 
)
welcome to LD4all Nickvald
Good luck with WILD and remember it is more likely to be successful if combined with WBTB 
You shouldn’t apologise for your english … I am always amazed at the high standard of english by non-native speakers on LD4all
I hope you soon feel at home here 
hey, I’m new. I don’t really know what else to say so hi!, and i’ll see you around.
Hi people!
Been lurking around a bit cause I could’nt get my activation email through my AOL address. Any how I started a dream journal in August 2006 as well as researching the various methods for LDing after I had a ND where I was a shark swimming around a tank through various hoops. (Had bodily and audible sensations such as water rushing through what would have been my gills).
I had my first documented LD in August 2007. Just under a year after I started researching it and the various methods for ataining lucidity. Right now I’m focusing more on increasing chances of lucidity.
hello moocey welcome to the LD4all community 
I’m terrible at doing intros for myself too 
/me sees moocey rushing off to read forum topics 
hello james_uk2008
So you had experienced other forms in NDs, no wonder shape shifting came quite naturally for you
/me thinks everyone who needs motivation after a short time of trying should read that and then read your latest LD in your DJ
/me waves a UK flag 
Hi people, I’m new too!
I’ve been looking around on ld4all for months now, and finally registerd too!
moocey, james_uk2008, and aptennap to LD4all!!! 
hello apttennap, welcome to LD4all.
Now you have registered, quite a few new forums are now accessible 
so you have more topics to browse 
I saw your topic (link)
Good luck with WILD 
I also noticed you have had a LD already … we have a big My First LD Collection in the dream journal forum if you would like to share that very first LD with us
Greetings, everyone!
I’m Smoo. I’ve lurked on the site on and off for a long time. My interest in lucid dreaming is very strong, yet very cyclical; I’ve tried and only found tiny success before, but I’m taking a much stronger and more analytical approach this time. I also started my dream journal so that I could have a place to record my thoughts and progress and also hopefully have the encouragement of other members.
I look forward to talking with you. Thanks!
Smoo!
Came on leap year eh? 
Good luck with your DJ and you can contact me through AIM, MSN, PM if you wish.
welcome to LD4all Smoo
I think it may be easier to keep motivated as an actual forum member
you can be sure I will be there 
following your progress
Smooo, and every1 else!
Hi guys, new here and this looks like the place us newbies post?!
ok well… I had never ever heard of lucid dreaming before, until i decided to try and work out what these weird dream-type things i was having. Basically what happened was I kept getting the feeling that I was drifting off to sleep but I still had awareness that I knew I was awake…every time it happened I would feel this whooshy-ness where I’d sort of feel myself sort of be pulled into this “whooshy” type thing and feel myself twirling around. All the time during this I sort of think to myself right thats me being pulled in to my dream. Although I never have really experienced an actual dream…its more once i’ve finished twirling I’m still in my bed but kind of feel as if I’m hovering over it in a weird sense. When the twirling stops there is always someone there and its always someone I know…either a best friend or someone i work with etc. One time the person was saying things to me but the words they were saying were like rushing around in the back of my mind really fast and really random things. I have no idea, now, what the words/phrases were but at the time it actually felt like i was hearing all of the thoughts in my mind…it was like all these voices of people i knew saying things but all at once really quickly…quite freaky actually! And i remember sort of thinking to myself that i was hearing the thoughts in my head. After reading the guide section on this website (v interesting i must say!) it sounds as if this is sort of like an out of body experience??
I have a few times tried to control who i see in front of me when the twirling and whooshing (!) ends but I don’t normally manage. Haven’t had one in a while though, it seemed to happen naturally for about a month but it stopped, so I might try and see if i can do it again myself this time. The only other thing is sometimes when I’m trying to fall asleep i have my eyes closed and concentrate on sort of the shapes and colours u see when your eyes are closed and i keep watching them and they eventually start moving and form shapes and its quite surprising that they turn into images which start moving. - i read something about this in the guide as well… I think its really cool to be reading the guide thing and realising that all this weird stuff has names and other people get it too…phew!!
well sorry if this is a looong post…but was just really interested in the site and wanted to share my experience.

It sounds like u had WILD
/me to freckles88
With the ability to stay aware naturally while going to sleep I think you will find WILD easy to do
HI is brilliant.
It must feel really good to have explanations and descriptions for them now
there are topics on OBE and Astral Projection in the beyond dreaming forum. But it is possible it could be a dream set in your bedroom too
I hope you enjoy your time here and share your expertise with us
