I joined the forum today and wanted to drop in here and say Hi and throw out a little background on what's drawing me to lucid dreaming.

I've meditated on and off (more off than on!) since the early 90s. The last 14 months I've taken a more serious and disciplined approach. Basically a daily practice with a few months drop off during the summer. For me I can say the state of being is vastly different between daily practice and sporadic or no practice.

I've known about lucid dreaming for some time, but never paid it much attention. I've recently become much more interested and even intrigued by the possibilities. I view dreaming as just another aspect of being that exists below conscious awareness. Since meditation enhances and expands awareness and I'm exploring that territory of mind, I'm thinking LD dovetails nicely on a conceptual level and I'd like to explore the possibilities further.
