I had a dream once where me and a friend were walking down the street and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Christmas had been probably only a week before, and after realizing that I knew I was dreaming. I thought this was funny but didn’t think about it again for a couple years until I thought to google it.
i learned about lucid dreaming from experiencing it naturally
I first learned about it when I ere reading about OOBE, psy-balls and astral projecting and stuff. The only reasin I started to read about LD were beacuse I found it to be a way to achive astral projection. 
But these days I’m more focused on LDing more then AP and OOBE.
I can’t remember when I found out about lucid dreaming. It feels like I have know about it forever, I guess I have know about it since I was 10 or something. And I probably read about it in some book. I also thought about practicing it years ago, but I didn’t have internet then. And I couldn’t figure out any RCs that I felf comfortable with. So I just have up after 1 day 
I’m just happy that I have internet now and that I found ld4all 
On a tv show but later on this sait
I originally found it on wikibooks.
No, only joking. I can’t remember, but I think that the wikipedia page on lucid dreaming was very close to the beginning. Maybe I was reading up on dreaming and found it.
First time I read about it was in a book about dreams I read five years ago. However, I wasn’t hooked at all, I just thought it seemed fuzzy. Then, some months ago, when I browsed under Psychology in a general forum, someone wrote about it and I got interested.
Once I was rummaging in old newspapers, hoping to find one big enough to cut out a pattern. In one of these newspapers, I read about Senoi system. I didn’t understand it properly, so the idea I got about it was more likely lucid dreaming, though I did not know the right name for it. Recently, a neighbor asked me to translate some texts for her test work. She is studying to become a psychologist, so the texts were just magazine articles about psychological stuff including dreams… That was when I got to know the real name for this. But I really began to think about having LDs myself only when I read EWLD and some other books…
I had no idea that our brain has such miracoulus abilities. One day I did a google search about dreams, generally, because I was bored.
I found a MSN group about “Lucid” Dreams. I was like “wtf is ‘lucid’ ?”. I now know…

I’ve read an article about it in a popular magazine almost ten years ago, it was an interview with an expert, probably Paul Tholey (dead now) or Stephen LaBerge. I found it exciting, but only found the motivation to try it a few years after I read the article, and only because I had a wonderful spontaneous LD. I hope to find that article again, it was my first encounter with the subject and therefore has emotional value to me 
Paul Tholey is dead??? 
Do you know anything else about that?? Wow it was a little shock when I read it He was a great researcher of the practical use of LDs to improve waking life sports activities.
Thanks for the link. That’s really sad news
I found it out from ags_rule when he was excitedly telling me about it, his explanations were a bit…vague so i googled it and came up wit this site and stopped the confusion lol
I first heard about lucid dreaming from a narcotics subforum of a a norwegian webforum called “freakforum”.
There was a discussion of herbs for dreaming or something like that.
“Some post in some other forum”
I was talking about flying in dreams and someone mentioned, that this “superman style” flying is nothing compared to flying with crossed legs, or with carpet style. He also invited me to visit certain place what he uses to visit in regular basis. I started to think about that, but even before finding out any site about lucid dreaming, or without knowing any tech how to induce it i had high level LD what was pretty decent.
I had an unintentional LD. That lead me to seek info about it.
I had one LD naturally and since this time I interessted LD,s.
a friend told me… too bad I laughed at him at first…

I have about 3 LDs that I can remember from childhood, I remember flying and changing my enviroment. But as i got older and my life got more stressful I had lost most of my dream recall and no longer knew anything about “controling my dreams”
I was watching the dead zone one day and John was in a coma, and when he read a newspaper the words were all jumbled and he could not tell time because there was wierd symbols and whatnot. My dad told me that alot of people actually do experiance that in a coma. I said “well I remember dreaming and doing stuff just like that” my good ol father completely denied that that was possible. I kinda spaced his comment off for a good year. until I saw that episode repeat, I said “I wonder if it is real” I went onto some newsgroup. or forum or somthing and people were talking about it. One of them brought up lucid dreaming, so I said “why not” and I googled it.
and here I am!
