Well I'll start off by introducing myself.
I'm Leo and for the past week have been immersed in this brand new phenom.
I've always been a skeptic when it comes to dreaming in general; when someone would tell me how they could control their dreams and have lucidity I flat out didn't Believe them. If I couldn't do that how could they? I also found it impossible for people to have such recollection and vivid detail of the dreams they had, I sure couldn't.
Well, the other night something happened. I can usually remember the gist of my dreams or come close to recalling it. I think sometimes I tend to associate déjà vu with forgotten dreams but anyways, I was dreaming that I was on vacation at some lake or resort. I remember watching other people do recreational sports like water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, fishing and then I saw someone hang gliding above it all. I thought to myself that looks so amazing I wanna do that! The next I remember I'm flying above everyone else just gliding in the air as free as a bird it was so awesome! I looked into the lake and thought flying straight in doesn't seem dangerous, or deadly, so I begin a dive straight into the water. I am able to breathe and see and I know I'm safe.
I didn't really get as excited about it as I am now after I woke but a few days ago I read about astral projection which led me to the introduction of lucid dreaming. I have never been so excited to go to bed! While I haven't had my first lucid dream since I am confident I will, soon! All my free time is spent reading up on this. The fact that every website and forum or youtube video is filled with nothing but affirmation that it is possible and not a load of bull just adds fuel to my flame that I will be ale to one day (or night I guess lol) master the skill.
One thing though Is that I have lately been ale to see through my eyelids when I sleep which I've read could just be photographic memory? I'm to quite sure on that one.
But still if anything it is motivating me to work harder and research this more.
Any tips or advice would be great.
