Thread: Hello from a spanish dreamer

Hi!

My name is H, and I´m from Spain. I have been lucid dreaming since I have memory, but never realized that was something different until a few years ago, when I started researching about it. Studying psychology I met a friend which made me think more seriously about this and we started together to try new things.

I remember having dreams when I was a kid where I realized I was dreaming, and I looked to the sky thinking about something I really wanted until it appeared. But I started having my main lucid dream after facing a recurrent nightmare, when I was about 12-14. For some years I had a nightmare where something was staring me in front of my bed, and I tried to move but it was imposible. Neither to turn the light on or to call my parents for help. When I was a kid I tough this was real, and I was scared of it. But at some point, near 14 years old, I started thinking this was just a dream. It went worse because when I tried to wake up from the dream, I had false awakenings, waking again into the nightmare, ant that could be repeated for like 8-10 times. One night I was so angry about the nightmare that I tried to move, feeling pain in my body, until I reached this presence staring at me and I strangled it. After that I didn´t wake up, and I was sitting in my bed thinking what to do, so I decided to go out to the street through the window. Since then, until now, I never had that nightmare again, but I use to wake up in bed in a lucid dream. Every time I move to a new bed, the dream changes to the new bedroom.

I found this page quite recently, looking for more experiences about lucid dream. I had one year where I saw this friend a lot, and we tried many things with lucid dreams, so I dreamed a lot. Now I´m not having many lucid dreams, and I even have periods where I´m worried about something and I don´t remember any dream, waking up in the morning with a blank mind. I don´t like this, and I would like to keep improving and learning new things. But sometimes, I lack the motivation to, and I don´t know why being dreaming something that important for me.

I´m looking forwars to use this forum and read about your experiences. I´m sure this will motivate me! Thanks to all of you.
