Thread: Hello

So I'm new, hello everyone, my name is Bonnie.

And well, I heard about this site from a friend, I just discovered tonight that I've been having several WILD dreams over the past few months, and I didn't even know what a lucid dream was till tonight so I feel pretty cool about that, and would like to learn more.. and figure out how to control it.

So yeah. Hi everyone!

Uhm, yup that's all I have to say so. Take it easy. I'm excited to be here. Off to read more about these dreams I've been having and figuring out more about them.

to DV Bonnie!!


If it's control you want to learn, then check out the Dream Control section for some tips.

See ya around!!!

Welcome! You had a spontaneous WILD? That's pretty cool. How did that happen?

Well.. more than one actually.

I've actually had one ever night for the past four nights.

I've just been waking myself up before doing anything because it was scaring me really bad because I didn't know what they were.

I don't know how I did it, it just.. happened.

Well it's cool that it comes natural like that. Most of us have to work pretty hard for it. I could see where it would be scary at first, but I'm sure you'll learn to enjoy it.

Yeah I can imagine I will, I won't be scared the next time it happens though now that I know what's going on.

I'm really excited.

Hi, Bonnie. Nice to meet you and welcome to DV! I hope you'll enjoy your stay here.

Hey Bonnie,

Welcome. I'm a newbie as well! I joined the forum a couple days ago. This site is a great resource for LD's. Reading the information on this site has help me induce and practice LD's. Also, I'm reading Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by LeBerge and Rheingold - paperback for about $10. Many things crossover to this site but it's a good reference to have when you're out and about.

Best,
Dwight

Thank you both.

And thanks dwight, I'll be sure to check that book out, sounds interesting.

Yeah, definitely pick up EWOLD, it is like the lucid dreaming bible. Most of the information you will find online is directly from LaBerge. I always keep an extra copy or two, because I've found I end up giving them all away to friends.

Hi Bonnie,

I started getting spontaneous WILDs when I was 16 too. Probably for the same reasons you are, because I didn't get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation is most definitely what's causing your LDs.

Interesting, I figured that might be it.

But I've never really... gotten enough sleep.

Because no matter how much or how often I sleep I am ALWAYS tired.
ALWAYS. Has been that way for several years now.

Do you think so? Due to my schedule I often have to go one day a week with no sleep at all and sleep like a bear the next day. It's usually 10 to 12 hours that goes by in a very fast black flash of nothingness. I wish it were otherwise.
