Been checking out the site and it all seems very interesting. I’m very into spirituality and recently had a spiritual breakthrough that just hit me during the day. I now see things a lot clearer than before as I am not clouded by indecision and insecurity.
Big believer in adventuring and experiencing new things and I always heard that some people believe the euphoria gained without any “help”, shall we say, can be better than that with. So who am I not to give it a go?
Currently I remember my dreams sporadically, but when I do they are VERY long and very detailed and I don’t believe I’ve ever had a nightmare. They are quite bizarre and bring up parts of my past mingling with the new to create a timeless “me” (if that makes sense?).
So at the moment I’m at the stage of beginning a dreamdiary. Beginning to try and remember and ultimately beggining along the path…
Sorry if I’ve bored you with standard “newbie” rubbish, just thought I’d give you a little background info…
Hi everyone. It is as if I am zombified by day and live a whole new life on my other side. When I am lucid, I seem not to care and rather just acknowledge I am dreaming. Here is a bit about me.
I’m a 21 year philosophy student who one day wants to bring metaphysics a way of life. I want to wake up individuals spiritually, I feel it is my calling. Anyways… I am a spiritual hippy who is all about love and compassion. I practise meditation daily and am a vegetarian. I noticed that not eating meat changes your breathing pattern. The most thing I am consious of in my daily life is my breath, just not when I am dreaming, only some times. I am spiritually opened minded, and intrigued about the occult, the paranormal, and the unknown. I look forward to learning from this forum and perhaps making new friends.
I’m really glad that I found this site. I am trying to “rediscover myself.” Several years ago, I was much more in touch with my spiritual side and routinely had LDs, OOBEs and similar types of experiences. But I found that the demands of life can make you stray from the path of self-realization, and the further I strayed, the less “aligned” I felt.
So here is my attempt to experience some of the amazing things that I have in the past.
Welcome to the ld4all community dharma_girl and Chimera
You may both like our Beyond Dreaming subform, since you both interested in the spiritual side.
i hope you both enjoy being members of our forum.
I call myself Holmcross. I hardly ever remember my dreams, and only three of them have been lucid. I was once an ambassador to a Sleep Dep convention. I take lots of long walks alone, and I have read many books about Zen Buddhism. I’m currently taking steps to repair my sleep cycle and get Lucid.
Hi there!
I got to this Forum (and website) via a link in the “Sonhos Lucidos” (LD, in Portuguese) community in Orkut. Actually I came across that community while browsing Orkut. I had never heard of LD. I got so interested that I started reading a book called “LD in 30 days”, doing all the “homework” from the book, in order to get LDs. That all was a little more than one month ago. Since then I started writting my dream journal. I had my first LD after 3 weeks. It was awesome: there were red dunes and a deep blue sky. It looked like I was in “Star Wars”! I’ve had other two LD in this period, about one a week. Of course they were short and of low level lucidity, but I really enjoyed them.
It’s really good to find this forum!
Cheers,
Cicero
Also new here
i found out about LD when i picked it as a senior thesis for high school
now i’m interested in what LD are and if i can do them
so i’m just here to get more into it
Hi everyone
Just like to say that of all the forums ive been on (3) this one looks by far the nicest. been reading through the posts and havent seen a single flame, just friendly help & advice.
havent had a LD yet, but some pretty vivid NDs, think i might be close…
keep up the good work guys!
Yes this is a very friendly community. Don’t get me wrong, like any community we have our arguments but, when all is said and done we all remember that we are still friends. It is not uncommon to see to people disagreeing in one topic then helping each other in another.
Hello Holmcross, Ares, cicero, diegovldz and Mad Doc Makes Appetisers
It’s always great to see new people join the ld4all forum.
cicero, I read LD in 30 days too before joining ld4all
This forum is a really welcoming community, and everyone is always ready to help new members get better at LDing. It is also very addictive
I look forward to getting to know you all better in the future.
Hi, I’m Bradu, from Portland, OR. 29 years old, been lucid dreaming for about a year. I have high hopes for dreaming…my experiences so far have been mainly for pleasure and experimentation, but I’ve already experienced firsthand that shared dreams are possible, and hope to become skilled enough at dreaming to use it to help spark my creative side and improve my quality of life overall.
Welcome to ld4all bradu
We have an experimental shared dreaming forum here which you may like to have a look at. There are also dream teams at our sister forum SeaLife … there’s a link to it at the top of the page.
I hope you enjoy being a member of the ld4all community
Hello, everyone I first heard about lucid dreaming when I was staying up late watching local cable for some reason and I think they were having a speech contest of some sort. This one guy said stuff about saying “its only a dream” and about the nova dreamer and stuff. I went to the lucidity institute website (which I have found to be dead now pretty much).
Anyhow, I had my first lucid dream when I looked at a watch I put in my headboard or pocket or something and I looked at it when I “woke up” and invisioned them twisting or turning and they did. so I walked upstairs and found it was day and I started making things fly around the room until I had my next dream which was like going into color fog in third person and my voice was all cut up while I yelled “its only a dream!” but I lost control after that.
I stopped doing lucid dreams from then on for some reason I just quit thinking about the subject. Now I have found this very nice website (which is still active) and I will post as much good stuff as I can.
