Hello and pleasant dreams!
Sometime last October '2013 I looked on Youtube for "Lucid Dreaming". I had read a book about it when I was in my twenties and found it fascinating but did not pursue it until recently. Now that I'm recently retired I have lots of time to be able to dedicate to learning about it. I have had dreams of floating above tree top level and being able to guide my direction and speed at will in the dream but not realizing or knowing if it was just a great dream or if I was lucid and didn't know.
The Youtube video described the easy steps to lucid dreaming. Keep a dream journal, look at your hands as many times a day as you can think of it, and ask yourself..."Am I dreaming". I tried this and within a span of two weeks had six LD's.
The first was so strange just looking at my deformed hands woke me.
Eventually I found this site and have learned a lot. I've only had one quick LD since my first string of six and an almost LD (alarm woke my while looking at my deformed hands).
I have been having dreams of former bosses (now deceased) from two different jobs harassing me and I want to tell them to go pick on someone else, this is my dream and besides, I don't work for you anymore...and by the way...you're dead!
Anyway....hello to you all and sweet dreams!
