Thread: How did you discover Lucid Dreaming?

I was really into the Nightmare on Elm street series. One day while I was watching part three, I started to think to myself, "Wow that's weird, it's like they always know when they're dreaming". I started to wonder if it was possible. Actually, I kinda had a feeling it was, because I had one lucid dream as a boy and for years I tried to tell people about it but they never understood me. Anyways, I looked up "knowing you're dreaming". I found the definition on wikipedia, and I was amazed. I was originally on another forum but that place was whack, so I eventually found this site .

I got told about it from a friend who found DV and now I'm here.

I really don't remember even though it was recent. I may have stumbled across it on the web and I always had these handful of dreams in my life I always remembered and it turns out one was a lucid dream when I was 8. I flew and I still remember how crazy it felt and I wanted to do it again.

I suffer from regular sleep paralysis. In search for advice I came across Lucid Dreaming and how I can use sleep paralysis to induce it.

One night, I randomly had a lucid dream.
Then I google'd it and found out you can do it intentionally (I found out about Dream Journals, WBTB etc )
But for some reason I never started to practice until around 1 month ago I decided to google it some more then I found this site and found out about DILDs/WILDs and other methods.
