the BIG "Hi, I'm new here!" topic, part 73

Hello Zooey, welcome to ld4all :wave:

It’s good that the French version is still available to read :yay: it must make it a lot easier to learn about LDing for our French speaking members. :content:

I hope you enjoy your time spent on the forum.

Hello Moogle - Thank you for your message :wink:

Yes, it’s a chance that it’s opened!! It makes it way easier to understand all the concepts! Because clearly at the beginning it’s crazy all the informations and techniques you have! But from what I read so far, it worth it!!

Now I “only” have to practice (still learning, but it goes through the practice now!)

Thanks again :wink:

Hey guys,

My name is Ferne and I used to have an account on the dutch version of this amazing forum. But now that I have become more well versed with this language and wanted to get into lucid dreaming again I decided to create a new account, and well, here I am!

Have a good one :smile:

Hello Ferne,

I hope you enjoy reading the old and new topics on this forum. :smile: You may find the lucid adventures topics particularly inspiring.

Hi there

I’m Nate, I started to have lucid dreams during childhood but really interested I became just a few years ago. I’m the hell lazy and write dream journals not that often but my memory about dreams works very well. I can recall several dreams and many details every morning because I spend a lot attention to my dreams since childhood. They’re sometimes just cooler than real life.
Now I have problems with my lucid dreams and I’m always looking for inspiration, new techniques, experience of others stuff like that.
I hope that I’ll be able to improve my lucid skills and meet other people who share the same hobby. All of my real friends are pretty cool but none of them is interested in their dreams or lucid dreaming.
Guess that’s it. Thanks for reading if you did! :happy:

Hello N@t3 welcome to ld4all.

You joined the right forum :yay:
I recommend the lucid adventures forum to begin with. :spinning:

I hope you enjoy your time here.

Im Jenni, a 27 years old artist from South America.

I learnt about Lucid dreaming at age 17/18 (while chatting with a friend who knew a lot about the theme), but started to trying to have them just 5 years ago (2011), until I had my first one on 2014.

I practice the “dream yoga” discipline which seems very useful to raise my awareness. Currently I have 2 or 3 lucids by week (and lots of non lucid ones too XD), I love to draw and paint those experiences and I feel that they aren´t getting noticed enough on other places… (not many people know about LDs on my circles)
So I started to search for some community with the same interests that I have and… voilá! here I am! :wink:

Im hoping to learn more about dreams & to share my art with you all! :heart:

Welcome Jenni! :welcome: I would love to draw my dreams too, but I’m not great at drawing. I noticed your first artwork and the story behind it. Beautiful dream and artwork! :content:

Hello Lady Yomi, welcome to ld4all.
I loved your artwork too and look forward to your next ones. :content:

Oh my—! Thank you lots Letaali & Moogle for the warm welcome! :happy: Im glad that you like my stuff, it’s amazing to be able to share my works with other dreamers for once! :content: ha ha

Hi everyone
My name is Ash known as ALS5, I’ve been into lucid dreaming and the mind for about 25 years although yet to go lucid (to be honest studied more than practiced). Hope to possibly help/find out as much info as possible it’s a pleasure to be surrounded by so many like minded people.

ALS5

What the mind believes the body achieves

:welcome: hello Ash, welcome to the ld4all forum.

Just read and knew about it or got to know the various methods too? Is your recall good? Since if it’s poor it is possible to forget lucid dreams especially if they are low level.

Anyhow I hope your first lucid is now on the horizon!

Hi everyone!

I made a lucid dream this night and it made me think of coming in here.
I am French but since the French forum is closed, I came here, which is not a problem since I’m fluent in English.
I’m 16 years old, passionate about History. My hobbies are reenactment, figurine painting, drawing, writing… My favourite period is the 19th century but I reenact the Middle-Ages, the Napoleonic era and the First World War.
I am a literature student, specialised in English language.

My nickname is an old, 19th century French word that designated the guards of 19th century prisons, the ‘bagnes’ or more vulgarily ‘chiourmes’.

See y’all later!

Hello Garde-chiourme, welcome to ld4all :spinning:

Had you previously been reading the read-only topics on the French side?

Will you be keeping a DJ in our Dream Journal or keeping a private one?

I’m also wondering if you intend to set your LDs in the 19th century.

Hi everyone!
My name is Lucia and I’m 32. I’m italian :smile:
I’ve been interested in LD for a long time, but I’ve never really tried to have one until now. I have no trouble remembering my dreams (and I have the most complicated dreams :happy: ), but I’m finding it difficult to get lucid. I was able to when I was a child and I’m still able to wake up from a dream and go back to it. In june I had my first (recent) lucid dream and it was amazing! But it lasted just a couple of minutes (I’ll talk about it in another section). I really hope to get to know you better and maybe with your help become a more experienced lucid dreamer.
Bye for now :smile:

Hello Lucia, welcome to ld4all :content:

If I was able to do this, after waking in night I would tell myself
“When I see <insert main thing/scene from previous dream> I WILL be dreaming.”

It could help with your awareness when you re-enter the dream.

I hope you enjoy your time on the forum. :spinning:

Hi !
My name is Madison, I’m 15 and I’m french .
I don’t think that my english is really good but never mind , the world of lucid dreams interest me and this website is very cool :tongue: .
So I discovered the lucid dreams not long ago . At first , I thought it was impossible to do a conscious dream :eh: . But one day , I wanted to try something . So I read articles , forums about lucid dreams and the same night I had one :content: .However , it did’nt last long- I mean 10 seconds .
I would like to learn differents techniques to enter in lucid dream .
It’s so fascinating ! We can do all that we want in dream .
Ps : Sorry for my bad english .

Hello Madison, welcome to ld4all :welcome:

Your English is brilliant! :content:

Congrats! The first ld is often very short due to the excitement and strangeness of becoming lucid. The length and stability will improve.

I would recommend reading the topics

How to Choose your Technique
and
Links and short descriptions to all new and known techniques

Have fun :spinning:

Hi!
So nice to have found this place. I am Lakshmi.
I first heard about LD (around the time the movie inception came out :smile:
Friends of my teenage daughter would tell me about their dream practice and I couldn’t even begin to grasp what they are saying even though the concept of awareness and spiritual practice had been an important part of my life for many years already. Also I had always been interested in my dreams and what they might mean.

Next thing I find myself reading the book of Robert Waggoner and was instantly blown away. I started lapping up everything I could find on LD and practiced as much as I could for a year. The outcome was one LD of flying to music like a dance.
It was marvelous like an amazing real life enriching experience. But… never again.
After one year of intense practice I got frustrated and decided I have no talent for this. (After all my son was able to have LDs after I just told him about the possibility.)

Three years later I am ready to give it another serious try and here I am.
As I am also a student of Vedic Astrology I would like at some point do research on LD and planet constellation at the time of birth of successful LDers.

:wave: Welcome to the forum Lakshmi.
That first LD sounds awesome! :fly:

So had you practiced awareness in waking life?
You could find The importance of Awareness interesting.

It is good that you appreciate normal dreams

The above was taken from The Lucid Dreaming Wall (mainly for new members)

Lastly my favourite scene in Inception was when all the street was bent. :eh:
