Hi, and welcome Sanome - when I started getting that, my first LD came within a few days, so you’re definitely almost there 
hello Sanome and bcomp, welcome to the LD4all community 
Sanome: when I saw your nick, I had to look twice since we already have a Sanoma on the forum 
That moment in which you realise it’s a dream can easily wake you up when you are new to LDing But soon you will be able to continue and enjoy long LDs 
bcomp: I hope you enjoy and get a lot out of being a member of both forums. We have a DJ forum here if you wish to start your own LD4all dream journal 
I think being a forum member and also keeping an online DJ can really help with keeping the motivation high
bcomp!!
We’re all familiar with Dreamviews and hopefully you’ll come here more often 
Hi to all
I’m member for a while now but I was shy to write 
I’ve been trying to LD for months and finally I had one LD now that’s how I started to write
I hope I will get better and have more LD’s
This forum is great and I’m reading it everyday
I also read other books and websites about LD and OBE too
I’m happy to be part of this community 
If somebody wants to talk more with me about LD and other stuff then PM me 
I was searching for answers, and stumbled upon this site. I’m not a lucid dreamer. As a matter of fact, I hardly ever dream. Too much caffeine, maybe? I take Melatonin + B6 + nutmeg daily, just for kicks, but the most I get out of it is vivid hallucinations. Anyway, i’m more into the Sacred Calendar, in any shape or form. While looking through the Dreamspell discussions in the archive, I felt a certain kinship immediately with a lot of you who were so enthusiastic about it.
The Dreamspell crowd usually shuns my ideas because I for the most part use the traditional count and names, although the Trads don’t like the fact that I manipulate/transform/deform their precious day-names/tone-names/labels, which I don’t care for at all–I dig the archetypal meaning behind the name. They get PO’d over my heavy use of the “loom of maya” which they believe to be a farse. Again, the Dreamspellers are often troubled by the way I construct my looms (I believe that the loom used by Arguelles supporters are only the loom for 1-Imix.) Every sign, in my view, has its own portal days.
And almost everyone is repulsed at my use of the Real Zodiac (13 signs) and the “fact” that I shouldn’t compare 1-Sagittarius to 13-Ophiuchus to the 13 tones, and by extension, the 13 lords of the heavens. I’ve also been counting the days using the 13 Attributes of Mercy (as revealed to Moses at the end of Exodus) and the Tarot, begining from High Priestess(Imix) to The World(Ahau).
Anywho, I hope i’m accepted in this community. We’re all fellow travelers in this cosmic game of chess. I forfeit! :-P. Peace.
hello dr3amx and Teopiltzin, welcome to the forum
do we look that frightening? 
All that reading and browsing paid off … I read your first LD [LINK] and because of the knowledge you had gained, you managed to have quite a long first LD 
I hope you add your future dreams to the topic so we can follow your progress
We are a very accepting community. There aren’t too many members who have a full knowledge of the dreamspell etc which is why pasQuale finally decided to let the dreamspell forum disappear and move the topics into mainly lounge and a few in gathering. I would suggest that you send a private message to explora since he has a deep interest in the 13 moon calendar.
I hope you both enjoy your time at LD4all
Guess I forgot to introduce myself as well.
Howdy! I was an on-again-off-again visitor to this site since 2005, but finally grabbed an account when I started visiting frequently this year. I’m also planning to get good at WILD and make this my best year for LDs ever!
Hi! I just registered this morning, I think dreaming is fun and I started to make a journal yesterday, I had a ld when I was little, and I want to have more. So, here I am. Wish me luck
hello Timothydreams and HairSpray, welcome to LD4all 
I would have been too curious about the member only forums not to register right away I’m glad you finally registered
Will you be starting an online DJ here with your 5 LDs from 2008? I notice you have posted some dreams in the adventures forum and the first LD topic already
We have a topic to post first LD experiences in, so if you remember that first LD it would be great if you posted it in The BIG “My First LD” collection- Part IV 
Good luck with your lucid quest I’m sure you will enjoy more frequent LDs in the future
to all of the new ones here!!
The introductions continue in the BIG “Hi, I’m new here!” topic part 53
