Lucid Lobby Welcome Wagon
132

Welcome korothism :wave:
Since you’re a frequent lucid dreamer you might want to join in the Lucid Adventures. Every moon Q creates a new one. She picks out really nice ones, so it are mostly fun things to do. Currently it is to get your own dream pet.

:welcome: Buda,
LD4all has indeed a great atmosphere; it’s great to be here :content:

Welcome Mari0mega, :content:
Good luck with LDing again. I hope you will stick around some time.

Welcome Havi, :boogie:
I hope more lucid dream will follow for you. Good luck.

Welcome back Rarg, :yay:
Certainly don’t give up on it, because Lucid Dreaming is worth it. I hope you will experience a full LD soon. Let us know about it :content:

Welcome Misoshiru, :woot:
I hope you have a great time over here, discussing, philosophing and dreaming. I hope you’ll begin a Dream Journal in the DJ section.

Hi all!

What can I say about myself then? I’m 22, come from Sweden, I’ve been interested in LD, AP/OOBE for a long time now. Tried LDing alot when I was younger but then I got put off trying. It all seemed so impossible and I started getting other interests. Now I’m back for another try! :smile: I guess my fall was that I never had a DJ, and I’m intent on getting a book next to my bed every night from now on. I haven’t had much lucid dreams but I had some spontaneous dreams that were very vivid that I could ‘control’. At least my actions within it.

Flying in dreams is fun and the few occasions I ever get to it is like heaven. :wink: My personal techniques for this is flapping my arms as if I were trying to pull myself out of water, as if I were deep down the sea. Sorta swimming, but a mixture of flying. I try to visualize the air around my arms to be dense, and that seems to help alot. Otherwise it’s jumping higher and higher or leaping off a little height and try to pull up just before hitting ground (imagine you’re an airplane and your arms are its wings). The latter one usually leaves me hanging over ground, never reaching any heights, or makes me racing over ground at high velocities, and that can be quite overwhelming :tongue:

Personally, I try to seek an understanding about human psyche and explore “occult” phenomenons. I like to see and experience new things all the time. Life is wonderful, and there is always something around the corner that makes it better now and then. I hope to be spending some time here, perhaps have my first ‘real’ LD in a while too! :smile:

Well, anyway. Hello :smile:

:welcome: hello devmelon, welcome to LD4all :grin:
Last time you tried, were you an active member of a forum? I think that knowing that others are there to support you is a really good motivator to help you get through the occasional frustrating times when learning to LD :boogie:
Anyway, good luck this time :thumbs: and feel free to start a LD4all dream journal in our dream diary forum if you wish to do so :wiske:

Hello! I’m MisterKarnage. But just call me Antony or somethin’. I was on the GameFAQs boards, and that got me interested in LD. I never really tried seriously, until now. Last night, I tried a few techniques on the main LD4all pages. Although I didn’t get a LD, I got a huge boost in rememberance. In fact, I have some lucid foods next to me now. XD (Bananas)

Well, I hope you guys can put up with my randomness… Tata!

Hi, i’m alex i found out about lucid dreaming only 3 days ago. I always loved dreams, because it was the only place i could fly and i never had a problem remembering them. Today i had my first lucid dream, but it only lasted for a few seconds…
I was dreaming of something really weird and i asked myself: ‘am i dreaming? Yes i am!’ so i became lucid, but i got soooooooooo exited that everything went black and when i tryied to go to the place i wanted, i woke up. The problem is, i didn’t really wake up, i was still dreaming, but i lost lucidity :cry:

137

:wave: hello MisterKarnage and i_have_weird_dreams, welcome to LD4all :grin:

We are used to a bit of randomness here … I think you will like the playground forum when not reading up about LDing :smile:
/me posts some random bananas for fun :tongue:

firstly … congrats on your first LD! :yay: :thumbs:
that is very common when LDing :cry:
It is a good idea to do reality checks after you wake up from a LD since you will often find you are still dreaming! :content:

138

I want to learn a quick way to lucid dream, i cant just sit there and wait for it to happen!!

PS: what’s lucid food?!

139

I’m Alexandra and i’v only had one LD, for a very short time… When was the last time you had one?

140

Hi y’all. I am new here :wink:

I have been practicing dream work for about a year and have had a couple of LD and some OBE. I hope this site can help me further on my journey

141

:wave: i_have_weird_dreams
lucid foods are foods that may help you to LD like…
bananas, cheese, energy drinks etc … more information can be found in the Lucidity Tools forum.
For last LDs … often members put their LD count in their sig or you can look through the ranking topic in the quest forum :smile:
oh and it would be great if you posted about your first LD in our “big First LD Collection” in the dream diary forum :yay:

:welcome: hello Heka.Hu

:yes: there is information and discussion for dreamers of every level here :smile: I’m sure you will find lots of interesting stuff here :content:

I live in Zagreb-Croatia,and i have been remembering dreams all
my life,well most of them.reeding Castaneda s books changed my
perception of life,amung the other books such as:Damien by Herman Hesse,Bardo thodol,doors of perception by Leary and some philosophy books(platon,pascal…).Also i must say that i have been experimenting with perception altering substances
witch showed me some things about myself.i found that some feelings and fears that i felt dreaming and being under influence
of substances are same,and now present in ordinary life.i think
that ld exploration can be better way then psychedelics.I have some ld from time to time,and i usualy practice passing trough doors and walls,and flying pointing direction with fingers.i will send my reports on dream diary .

Hi!
I’m new to these forums, (writing on them anyway, I’ve looked over them before,) but not new to lucid, (am I the only one who doesn’t really like that word? :confused: ) dreaming. :grin: I’ve always loved dreams and have always looked forward to going to sleep at night just so I could have them, I just had three nights of lucid dreaming in a row, (I think my record is 6,) most of the time I’ll just realize I’m dreaming by atempting to waterbend, (anyone who watches Avatar the Last Airbender will know what I mean,) and it actually works. Most of the time I’ll just get this nagging feeling that won’t go away and then I’ll go, “I’m dreaming! Doy!” laughs I’m lucid for at least part of the dream a lot but I’ve only fallen asleep while knowing it once, I could still hear the tv in the next room but I started seeing dream stuff and gradually the other noise faded away and I was completely in the dream, it was one of the coolest ones ever and I had complete control the entire time so, Unlimited Power!!! laughs :grin: One of my biggest problems is that I share a room with four of my sisters and they never shut up! :wallhit: The two-year-old will wake up sometimes screaming so I have to get up and shut her up, (but that can be a blessing in disguise because that acts as a WBTB, :grin: ) Another problem is I take awile to get to sleep, (I’m a BIG time night person, sunlight is not my friend, laughs) and I’m VERY easily distracted so MILD is hard for me, (even though that’s what works the best and I have the best and most lucid dreams when I’m successful with it,) so if anyone has any ideas on these two problems that would be great, gives you all cookies I have to go now, see you later!

laughs My parents called me a vampire too when we went on a trip and I had to cover my eyes the entire time because the sun was so bright, (for me anyway,) that I couldn’t really see, I get instant headaches for some reason if I walk outside and the sun just hits me so I try to avoid it, (I don’t like bright light much anyway, never have, I can’t be a vampire though because I like garlic, especially garlic bread, yum! laughs :clap: )
I discovered a weird thing last night, my dad was talking about someone being paralyzed so I remembered that sleep paralysis is controled and and activated by a mechanism in the brain so I figured, “Hey, why not try to activate it?” so when I went to bed last night I’m lying there, tossing and turning trying to get to sleep when I remembered what I wanted to try earlier. So I just lay on my back and closed my eyes and thought to myself, “Paralyze”, (I said it that way because I was thinking of the scene is Spiderman where he’s trying to get his webs to shoot out by saying stuff like, “Fly! Up, up, and away web! Go, web, go!” laughs :twirl: ) and to my surprise, I felt all tingley and stuff, so I did that like five times and I had no feeling anywhere, it just kind of felt like I was falling into the ground. I was counting, “one, I’m dreaming, two, I’m dreaming…” and the noise in the next room was starting to fade away and I thought I started to see something but then I felt something crawl all over my face and I opened my eyes and saw this big spider on my face, I don’t really mind spiders, I kinda like them but I didn’t want it crawling in my mouth or anything, laughs So I tried to move my arm to swat it and I couldn’t! So I’m going, “Oh, crap, I can’t move,” so while this spider is crawling all over me I had to wait five minutes or so, (it felt like forever,) to get enough feeling in my arms to flick the spider off of me, (I still couldn’t move anything from the waist down,) when my mom bellowed for me to come and type in the computer password for her because she didn’t know it. She kept calling me and I kept having to say, “just a minute!” because I couldn’t move my legs, I couldn’t even sit up. So she wasn’t happy when it took me five minutes to get upstairs, laughs :ebil: I tried it again this morning while sitting down and it worked so it looks like I can paralyze myself whenever I want to, (wow, there’s a useful skill for ya, I can just picture myself at a talent show, “So, what’s your talent?” Me: “I can paralyze myself,” “What?” falls to floor laughs :gni: ) Ebil Cookies for All!!! :cookiemon: MWAHAHAHA!!! :wolfbite: laughs, Ok, I’m done now… :adored:

Hello all. I’ve had a few LDs in my life. Probably about 10 in the past 5 years. The last one was I don’t know how long ago. The strangest thing that happened to me in an LD was that in two different dreams, a few days apart from each other, I met a person that was not from my head. The first showed me how to challenge him and the second was a witch who kept telling me “you know who I am”. They were quite bizarre, but all the more interesting. I have been doing extensive dream recall for the past 4 months (I do have my off days)–writing up to 4 or 5 dreams a night. Messy as hell, but I can usually piece it together in the morning. I reckon that LD is a relatively unknown and more un-experienced (?) source of human potential. So many things that I want to do, aside from the obvious. Looking forward to it. Peace and Love.

Welcome thedeez!. I agree with you on the point that LD’s are relatively unknown and/or unexperienced, I think that a lot of people don’t delve into the dream world and those who come across the term usually do so by accident but I also think that it is becoming more widely available and we have extensive research going on. One day maybe everybody will be able to have an LD whenever they choose.

again, welcome, i’m new here also but I’ll try to answer any questions I am able to :smile:

:wave: hello thedeez, welcome to LD4all :smile:

I think you may like to read Testing the “Realness” of DC’s III in Ye Olde Lucid laboratory … there are also two earlier parts of the discussion in there :yay:
I hope you decide to begin a LD4all dream journal in our dream diary forum :smile:
