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

Hi All,
I’m new.

hii im also new here, and i already know much about lucid dreaming, but now im gonna try to do it by myself! i hope it works!! and moogle, if i can ask you something: your signature is saying you only had 1 lucid dream in some years, is it really so hard like i only can have one in a year while it put so much efford in it? :neutral:

Hello Roongoron and LucidMe, welcome to ld4all :welcome:

Well I’m quite stressed at the moment, going to bed way to late!, not putting active effort into it and playing too much of a certain facebook game. :help: In addition I am nowhere near a ‘natural’, first experience of LD was in my late 20s and two more before joining ld4all in my 40s. As an aside, a researcher studied my dj and asked about the orientation of my bed and pointed out that my dreams/lds went down when I moved the bed 90 degrees! (It was to do with the earth’s magnetic field)

I always say if I have been able to have some LDs anyone can! I don’t take them for granted, they are awesome when I experience one and give me a real boost for a week!

Hi there !

I’m Claire, just a young and french woman, studying english language and history, so excuse me if my english isn’t a perfect one !
Well, I’m here in order to understand what lucid dreams really are, and how I can experiment these dreams.

I’m interested in this subject since a very little time and , at first, this is more curiosity than anything else.
Another thing is bringing me in this forum : writing. More exactly : a current writing project, a story of pure fiction, but I want to know everything I can on the subject of the Lucid Dreams for this project.

So, if I could quickly sum up my ideas, I would say that I’m here to improve my personal experience and to make my writing as realistic as possible, with your help.

Then I hope I haven’t write to much here, because i’m going to post on this forum right after I have clicked “Submit” and I’m impatient to reading you !

See you !

Hello, my name is Andrew, I’m new to this website and to the idea o lucid dreaming but since I got introduced to the concept I really wish to be able to have LD. I’ve never had one before and my dream recall is almost nonexistent. I find this community very interesting. I hope we can be good friends :smile:

Hello Lyvenia and Kraska (alias Claire and Andrew) :content: welcome to the forum.

Well, ‘they say’ write about what you know so a big motivator to experience some awesome lucid dreams. :thumbs:

Dream recall can be improved. A few tips…

  • Set the intention to remember your dreams BEFORE you sleep
  • On waking. lie still and gently search your thoughts for any fragments of dream - when you find one gently reach up and down the dream ‘timeline’ recalling as much as possible. Don’t get out of bed until any dream fragments/memories are consolidated as an actual memory.
  • Optional but highly recommended write them down either in a journal or online.
  • Get enough sleep!
  • If you get no recall, after a number of days experiment with the time you go to bed or wake up. You are probably waking at the wrong point in your sleep cycle.

I hope you both enjoy your time at ld4all

I love all things lucid dream like.And hope to chat on the message boards soon! :smile:

Hello everyone!
I am DreamTech MkII or DTDownunder.
(DreamTech was the name the other guy went by, it was the only name I found in the DJ. (further expatiation below))

I am a roping instructor/environmental technician/Hacker for hire (legal hacks only) from Western Australia.

About three years ago I woke up in a hospital with a large cut on my face, a broken nose and cheek bone and believing it was the year 2032. I had no memory of my life before that time. The only connection I had of my past self was his DJ. I read it and found it quite interesting. I started my own new DJ and started having LD s.

I have had problems with memory loss and false memories created in my dreams and I still struggle to tell the difference between real and dream memories.
I also have several problems with facial recognition. I believe these all to be caused by the head trauma.
But that’s enough about my problems.

I have joined LD4all to meet other LD’rs and to learn all I can. I also want to share my own experiences with whoever will listen.

I have conducted a few dream experiments in the past but never with anyone else. I would like to participate in some with other experiments if I get the chance.
Also,if I was to share my personal experiments where would be the best place to do so? In the Lucid Lab? Or is that for proper experiments only?

One last thing: if anyone has ever known or heard of someone that went by DreamTech, Please, PLEASE let me know. I still know quite little of him (or me?) apart from what my family have told me, although I know what he dreamed about.

Hello DTDownUnder and frgoad welcome to ld4all :welcome:

Sorry for the late welcome frgoad, I had internet problems last night. There are a lot of topics to browse :smile: and I’m sure you will soon be helping to create more :thumbs: I hope you enjoy your time on ld4all.

Depending on the experiment, the lab or lucid adventures (don’t worry about posting in wrong place, a moderator can move it to the best forum in a moment. :wink: ). If the experiment is only done by you, DJ forum would work too.
What type of experiments did you do previously?

I have mainly focused on things like melatonin dependence, effects of sleep deprivation on LDs, sleep cycle slingshoting (altering my sleep cycles to get a period of up to 24hrs uninterrupted sleep) and my latest one (and the only one I have written up a kind of report for) looks at the effects of binge-watching a TV show on my dreams. (It went a bit ¡ʎzɐɹɔ)

hallo hehe my name is kasebrot. i come from germany. sorry for my english!

i found this site because i wanted to do somethings you cant do in real Life hehe. like fly but i also want to try otherthings. many of the “while lucid” on the site is very interesting.

what is most important first step? is it mild? or what should i do hehe? :help:

thank you i will start a dj soon!! :peek:

DTDownunder. They sound suitable for lab. The older ones with incomplete results you could place at the beginning of your online dream journal if you make one on ld4all.

Hello kasebrot. In my opinion best first step is to improve dream recall while reading up on the subject of lucid dreaming. Then when you are ready, I would recommend MILD with WBTB. Good luck :thumbs:

Hello all!

I’m new-ish to this place, but wanting to immerse myself more in the cultivation of a richer, hopefully more lucid dream life. My dreams have always felt central to my life, and have always fascinated and fulfilled me so much that I began journalling at a young age, still continuing to this day. Actually, dreams feel like the most sacred, significant part of my very existence, and to learn about them, explore them, and behold them, is a mystical pursuit for me.

In waking life, art and design are the practices that continue this mystical pursuit - apart from spiritual practices, but to me they’re all part of the one same thing, woven into the fabric of my being.

I’m hoping to increase lucidity overall, waking and dreaming, but especially dreaming in order to get closer to my dreams (if that makes sense) and also for the purposes of healing, discovery and exploration, experimentation, and creative inspiration. I see there are a ton of veterans here and hope to not only learn, but to make some like-minded friends!

Blessings to you all :smile:

Hello Phoenix Rising, welcome to ld4all. I’m always just a little envious of the artistic members since they can incorporate their dreams into art.

Hope you enjoy your time at ld4all and please create a topic in garden for your art/design if you wish.

Hello fellow dreamers. I’m Rayth. I’m new here but not new to lucid dreaming. I’ve had spurts of lucidity before. My last lucid dream a few days ago had me wildly flying an xwing fighter. When I woke up I thought, man I gotta lucid dream more often. And so here I am at ld4all cuz I like the spacey theme of the place. Hope to be sharing lots of lucid dreams soon.

Hello Rayth, welcome to ld4all. :wave:

There’s nothing like a lucid dream to kick start your motivation again. :smile:

Hello moogle. Thanks for the welcome. I’m anxious for more lucid dreams soon. :smile:

Hello, I am Juggaloner. I’m not actually a Juggalo. My girlfriend told me about this site. I am new to Lucid Dreaming. She has had hundreds of Lucid Dreams throughout her life and was obsessed with it. I knew about Lucid Dreaming but never thought I would be able to have one until I met her. For about three weeks I have been trying to Lucid Dream. In my dream last night I started to feel conscious and kind of knew I was dreaming and then I said “I am aware I am dreaming”. My body started to get excited and my heart raced and I woke up. I became aware towards the end of the dream, but wasn’t able to control it. I got excited and it faded. I tried spinning around which is something she mentioned but my dream faded so fast. I hope to have this experience again soon but learn to stay calm and control it. Lucid Dreaming is exciting and I hope it helps with my anxiety dreams and nightmares!!! :smile:

You are getting there and have even experienced some lucidity. :thumbs:

Welcome to ld4all Juggaloner. I hope to read about your first stable ld in the near future. :content:

Hello, my name is greenfly and I found out about this forum 2 days ago. I have had lucid dreams since i was a kid. The thing I found very interesting when i was browsing this forum was the explanations about the techniques you use to get into LD. I didn’t know anything about it, but i used variations about them as a kid, so i guess that is how i got into LD. :happy:

I made quite some journeys through my dreams. At some point they got really scary, so i was really scared about going to sleep for a long time. I stopped with LDs and later started to read about it. That was the first time when I realised LD was “a thing”. I started again with moderation, but I’m really looking forward to getting to know more about the whole subject and share my experiences. :happy:

Also it is really strange for me to read the techniques written out, like a rulebook. I always assumed that i was alone with the dream controlling stuff for a long time (because everyone would treat it like such a unnormal thing). Also until some days ago, I didn’t know that it was SUCH a big thing. And that there already exists so much shared knowledge about lds. Praise the internet! I’m really looking forward to reading thourgh all your experiences and start to understand what the hell is going on with my subconsciousness. :yay: :hyper:
