Hello to Suus (going by your avatar another cat lover 
), EmperorPsiblade (I think I read somewhere on the forum that nightmares can often help you get lucid) and Quickbeam.
I agree with Quickbeam information is power and the best way of attaining information is reading.
Hope you all become regular posters of the forum.

Hi All!
My nick is Ev which stands for my initials.
I’ve discovered this forum few days ago. It looks great!
I’m not new to LDing, I started learning it about 4 months ago. I had great progress, with frequency of my LDs greatly increasing.
I hope I’ll become a part of this forum.
holla EV, welcome to the forum. Trust me you will love it here there are so many people here that cna share so much on this stuff. well done on the increase of ld as well. Take a pos around and see what you can see and you may find that they are increasing faster that you are here as well
Welcome EV 
Great to have another new member.
Feel free to ask questions. There are many people here who will be more than willing to assist you in exploring the world of lucid dreaming. Though it sounds like you are already doing quite well. Great to hear about your LD ‘s.
Like every other person who posts to this message I’m new here.
I’ve had lucid dreams in the past but not recently, I believe the lack to have something to do with some recent physical trauma. Recent being almost five months ago now, but recovery will be another year or so. Anyways I miss the lucidity and started looking around the web for something to help get it back. This is the best site I came across so we’ll see how it goes.
Good luck and welcome to all the newcomers!
This LD4All is an amazing site. I only discovered it about a week ago, during yet another search on Google for something related to lucid dreaming.
I’ve always been a vivid dreamer with fairly good natural dream recall. As a kid, my bro/sis and I would often exchange our bizarre dreams at the breakfast table over corn flakes. I still have strong memories of a handful of dreams I had as a youngster.
I never understood what lucid dreaming was until last fall, when I discovered “Waking Life” by Richard Linklater. In short, the film pretty much blew me away - I must have watched it at least 6 times so far. Since then I’d bought “Lucid Dreams in 30 Days”, which I find is a bit iffy. The info I have found on the web seems vastly better.
Also, since last fall I’ve moved to South Korea temporarily (I’m Canadian). It’s a good spot for reality checking, as life can sometimes get pretty surreal here. Often things look similar but… different. McDonald’s with Korean script all over it, for instance. Baskin Robbins. Taster’s Choice. Another bonus: I don’t start work until the afternoon, which keeps me from being rushed in the morning and gives me plenty of time for journal writing.
I now keep a journal, of variable quality. Usually I have decent dream recall but there’s no way I can write the kind of detail I usually remember. Anyways, I’ve had some lucid and near-lucid moments:
(1) Spontaneously, about 3 months ago, I realized in the middle of a dream that I was dreaming. Losing my composure, I instantaneously tried flight, and it worked, for about 10 seconds. I then zoned back out and finished the dream in a non-lucid state.
(2) More recently, after my first WBTB attempt (thanks DreamAddict), I got lucid at the final instant of my dream. My brother was being hanged, to my horror, and I realized it couldn’t be. I yelled out to him “this is impossible”, and another copy of him is suddenly standing next to me. (“He” was also still at the end of a rope.) I guess it was the relief combined with the realization: I woke up that moment.
(3) Another time, I dreamt my brother lent me a CD. Impossible, since he’s in Canada and I’m in Korea. Nevertheless, I go through a false awakening, and I’m back in Korea. Yet I still have the CD. The setting is largely rational. Yet something vaguely seems off, and when I start questioning the possibility of having this CD, my girlfriend is somewhat evasive. I don’t get lucid beyond that.
I guess that gives you a good idea of where I’m coming from. It’s nice to see such a huge community of people interested in LD!
Seeya later
Hi Ultravisitor 
Welcome to the LD4all community! Seems like you’re doing pretty good in dream recall and you also have the right critical attitude towards dreaming, which makes you become lucid. Yeah seems promising for the future Enjoy your stay!
Also welcome to Kimochi, Ev and Quickbeam 
Hi i’m new here!
…
I’ve been interested in dreams since forever but I only got really interested by lucid dreams since about a month when I found a lucid dreaming site by mistake. I’ve searched more and I found this site. I lurked the forums for some times and yesterday I got a LD. (lasted for only a few seconds, I realise it was a dream after I found out I just drank a complete vodka bottle I one shot 
) I decided it was good time to start posting, so yeah… well i’m starting…
I’m interested in LDs because in my youth I had many LDs, but it seemed I lost a part of my imagination while growing up : ( I’ve just started making a DD and I’m also starting to make RCs a couple of times a day.
Some more info about me: I’m 17 and I live in Quebec, Canada. I takes me a long time to fall asleep, but it also takes much for me to wake up. Oh well, can’t think of anything more to say. I hope my time spent here will be fun and informative and will help me make more LD
PS: pardon my poor english 
EDIT: I’d like to know what is in your opinion the best book about dreams… Plz no books about spiritual world and those kinds of things 
I’ll only believe when i’ll experience it
Welcome to the forum
and congratulations on your first LD 
As for the best book there is a hole topic to this but :
Creative Dreaming- by Patricia Garfield
Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen Labarge
Hey, I just stumbled over this forum and it looked pretty spiffy, thought I’d join
I’m an 18 year old uni student from australia, to put me into context. Dreaming is fun, what can I say? Sometimes better then reality what with the limitless potential, no barriers and all that.
Just joking, living is good too^^ I’d miss my mates and reality if I slept all the time.
Although I did once sleep for 17.5 hours straight…
anyways, hope I get some good advice and am welcome!
Welcome to the LD4ALL forum shianra! Hope u like this totally awesome forum and get some good advice as well

Lots of good advice here. The best thing I can tell you is to keep your exploration of lucid dreaming fun and don’t make things hard on your self. Everyone can learn to Lucid Dream just stay persistent and practice.
Enjoy
Happy Dreaming

Well for all new ppl to Lucid Dreaming…id sugest the book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Mr.Stephen Labarge
Tks for all your welcome
I just want to say hi to everybody and tell a bit about myself. This is my second post in this forum.
I’m 17, live in BC, Canada, but originally i’m from St.Petersburg, Russia and I’ve been living in North America for only two years. I’m going to school (of course), and my interests are computers (programming, games, hardware, etc.), aviation (airplanes, air traffic control, flight sims), science (physics), and, since a few months ago, LDing.
How I found out about LDs:
Sometime in February, I had a conversation with my parents about something, and the topic of sleeping (actually, not getting enough sleep) suddenly came up. So I went on the Web to look for some information about sleep and having dreams, and I stumbled upon the newgroup about Lucid Dreaming. I didn’t know what LDs were about, so I looked for some info about them. Once I found out what LDs are, I really got interested in the whole idea of understanding that you’re dreaming. I didn’t actually believe in it much until I had my first LD (it was a few weeks after first finding out about LD). Since that moment, I’ve been having LDs approximately once a week. It’s funny that most often I have LDs on Fridays.
I found ld4all forum a while ago, but I’ve decided to join in only last week.
I hope to become a part of ld4all community.
Thanks.
This is my 3rd post, but I just joined no more than 10 minutes ago or so.
I probably never would have found this place had it not been for a few nights ago where I experienced SP twice in one night, hallucinating the second time. It really freaked me out and I didn’t know what to think. So, what else to do but search for it on the net. Eventually I wound up here. I think LD’s are amazing. I never really talked to anyone about them before last year. I asked my roommate if he ever had one. He thought it was weird that I’ve been experiencing them for a while. I just thought it was normal.
I think it’s great that this whole community exists just for LD’s. I’m glad I found it when I did.
