JC's intro

[jcd1958cc]

Greatings, Never thought I would find an online forum on this subject, so I'm quite excited really. Anyway, that's my intro.

Welcome to Dreamviews JC. Are you already a Lucid Dreamer or aspiring to be one? Or do you just find the subject interesting?

[jcd1958cc]

Already a lucid dreamer, aspiring to be a better one, find the subject fascinating. But what I'm more interested in is OBE...ing, done it once or twice. Definitively something different from normal lucid dreaming. You?

[jcd1958cc]

Seems like just having the subject on your mind causes you to start doing it automatically. Since I started learning about the subject I started waking up in my dreams without even trying. "Our focus determines our reality"

I got into the habit of looking at my hands before I started lucid dreaming & every time awake in a dream my hands looked normal. Until not so long ago when I looked at my hand in a dream & it looked weird, when I woke up I realized that I had slept on it funny & my hand had gone numb. So this trick only works if you sleep with a weight on your hands & that seems to trick your mind into thinking that your hands are a different shape to normal. Funny really, like when your asleep you don't really know what your current body looks like. Off subject; have you ever looked into a mirror while lucid dreaming? once I looked like I did when I was a lot younger, another time I looked like I did at another stage in my life.

Welcome jcd! It's great to have you with us. It sounds like you are already pretty well acquainted with the basics of lucid dreaming, so just look around the forums, check out the Dream Journal system, and just have a great time! If you need any more specific pointers on where to find things, feel free to reply here or hit myself or any of the other Dream Guides up on PM. Off subject; have you ever looked into a mirror while lucid dreaming? once I looked like I did when I was a lot younger, another time I looked like I did at another stage in my life. Ahh, mirrors are great! I have never looked the same way twice in mirrors, but it's always interesting. In general I'm myself but usually dressed like a goofball and possessing an idealized, super-buff physique. It's often a remix of old looks -- perhaps the way I wore my hair in high school, or I'm in glasses again like when I was really a kid, etc. Mirrors are also great for when you're trying to do some sort of transformation or body modification. If you have any goals such as changing into some kind of animal/werewolf, growing additional limbs, or otherwise modifying your dream body, mirrors are fun for watching the process unfold. I was removing my own head once in a lucid dream and this was so much cooler to do while watching in a mirror.

JC. You came to the best forum on the subject. My hands usually look strange in dreams. Especially if I focus on them for any amount of time. And I never look normal in mirrors. Dreams are so cool!

Definitively something different from normal lucid dreaming. You? I'm pretty new to Lucid Dreaming. I got lucky enough to have a spontaneous Lucid a night or two after first reading about it. Since then I've had about 5. I'm a beginner but determined to become a really proficient lucid dreamer. I don't really know anything about OBEs, but I know that there are forums here for them. Enjoy your time on Dreamviews friend. It has been an amazing resource for me.
