Sivason's Dream Yoga Introduction Thread. Read This First.

[oniman7]

I am a 16 year old from Saint Augustine, Florida. I am a night owl. When school's out (I've recently graduated) I tend to read because night is the time when I feel a desire to learn and to do things. I do a lot of reading on metaphysical topics. I don't know what I consider myself. I used to consider myself atheist, then agnostic, then agnostic with Buddhist tendencies. I experimented with Wicca for a while but it seemed really contrived. I don't believe much in spells or anything that would come across as magic (talking to the dead, telepathy, sharing dreams) though I consider myself an open-minded skeptic. I do believe in the universe being made up of sacred energies, but only to a degree. I have used meditation for a while as a tool to calm down or to help me sleep, but have never taken it further than that. EDIT: As far as my personal life: I have just graduated high school. I have a girlfriend named Emily. Music is my passion, in particular bass guitar. I also play classical guitar and a little electric. Right now I am in a band called The Magistrate that sounds something like Avenged Sevenfold or Black Veil Brides. We plan to record a full length album this summer (from our own funds) and release it in physical form and on the internet before shopping it around to different agencies. I read a lot and play video games when I'm bored. My name is Dakota.
