Well, hello!

My name's Ryan, I'm a student and I love myself a little bit, then again, who doesn't?

I started this whole journey back in April 2012. I had no success. My attempt was on and off over that year, with maybe 4 long attempts at it all. As I said, literally no success. I raised my recall, and that's about it. 7 weeks ago I decided to start again, because what the hell. This time, however, I gave it my all. I Reality Check maybe around 5-10 times an hour now. Before now, I was lucky to remember to do it once every 2 hours.

I have a lot of knowledge of lucid dreaming, and know most of the ins and outs, I just don't have the experience to back it up.

This time, however, I have had success. I've had 8 lucids in the past 7 weeks, my first was in my first week of attempts. It was incredible. I'm hooked. I can also see why people say it is part of a lifestyle because it really is, it's becoming engrained into mine, and I love it!

Anyhoo, I lucid dream because of most of the reasons you'll have read before. I want to experience the impossible. I want to be Iron Man, I want to fly, I want to go to other worlds and explore them.

I have trouble doing anything out of the ordinary in my dreams so far. I've managed to slowly kinda float above the ground, which I wouldn't even count as flying. It was close, but no cigar. I know that it's my dream, it's all mine. I own it, I control it, everything about it. I know that, however, every time I try to do so, I get that niggling doubt in the back of my head and it just shuts down my control. I can't do anything out of the ordinary. I think it has something to do with how realistic it all seems.

I have a feeling your exercises to help with stabilization will help me to train my subconscious what's up with dreaming.
