the BIG "Hi, I'm new here!" topic, part 73

Greetings. We are yet another odd case of more than one individual sharing a brain, though those of us here did not originate through dreams in particular. In fact, how we came to be the way we are is quite a mystery. As with Onona, we are very much our own, separate people (certainly not ‘facets’ or ‘personalities’ of one person), only with a shared vehicle so to speak.

The oldest known individual among us, we will call him A, has lurked this site since 2008 in his early teens, but fell out of practice with lucid dreaming throughout high school. He never had an account, from what he tells me, though he does have many dream journals elsewhere. He has the most vivid dreams out of all of us, and frequently becomes lucid, though he has a strange issue he has yet to encounter among anyone else. He will likely discuss it in our on-site dream journal shortly. A is the more creative of the lot of us, which shows through the 3D animation degree he is currently striving for. He finds much of his inspiration through dreams.

As for me, you may call me M. I am a much heavier sleeper, and having dreams of my own is rare, though it does happen from time to time. I have met A in person on several occasions while lucid, though only for a fleeting, passive moment. My own personal goal is to stay more attentive while dreaming, as I fall asleep so easily it becomes hard to function in a lucid dream. I would like to be able to dream more frequently. Other than that, I will likely do much of the talking here as A is very shy. I am a bit more of a realist, I suppose you could say, and I do not share A’s creative talent, but I am good at keeping things organized and people herding. Although A was driven to leave university to pursue something more hands-on and practical, I would still like to go back one day and get a degree in history, if only for the bragging rights.

There are some others among us, though they come and go, and do not share our interest in dreaming. Anyway, it is a pleasure to meet you all, we look forward to getting to know you all and helping where we can.

M
