Lets do this!

My name is Shawn. I had some natural lucid dreams scattered throughout my life before I discovered this site and lucid dreaming in general as a hobby. Since then I've made a good amount progress in inducing lucid dreams via the Intro class but stabilization and dream control still lag behind. Thats why I'm here.

I lucid dream because I find it to be not only fun but also mentally challenging in a good way, sort of like a fun puzzle or strategy game. Also, I like it because I try out things I couldn't do in real life. The cherry on top is that is doesn't take much time out of my day so it's convient for me.

As far as the amount of lucid dreams I've had, I remembered 19 lucid dreams before I joined this site. I think I joined this site September 10th and have had 92 lucid dreams since then.

I struggle most with stabilization. Like I said, my average lucid dream last about a minute. My longest was probably 4-5 minutes. I've tried the hand examination technique, not thinking about stabilization, and "making out" with the dream (I licked a tv). I don't believe I've ever made any progress at getting better at stabilizing. I struggle sometimes with dream control at times as well but I've made more progress there than I have with stabilization. Stabilization is my main focus.
