Hello everyone.

My name is Ben. I am new to the concept of lucid dreaming and have had one. After having this experience I then started doing some research. Through the power of Google I found this site. Now I am exited.

My dream history is pretty empty. I do not often remember dreams and like I have said have only been lucid once. I hope this journal will help me rectify that unfortunate truth.

Let me begin with my first lucid dream. Feb 25th 2009

I do not remember much before becoming lucid. I remember I became aware I was dreaming when I tried to adjust light levels in my English class,it did not work and so I tried it again. Just to be certain I tried it one more time and when it did not work I became very exited and displayed this emotion for everyone in the class to see.

I wanted to do so many things but really did not know how to. I was very unsure and to be honest, a bit nervous, there are parts of my brain I may not want to explore.... I came to the conclusion I was going to make this a very relaxing, peaceful dream and take it very easy.

I walked out of the class into a pretty sweet forest. Big evergreen trees like we have where I live. I started walking around exploring the trees and ferns, smelling flowers. After awhile of enjoying the things I dont take advantage of in my waking life I woke up.

This experience was amazing. I will being trying to have more opportunities to explore my dreams and expand reality.
