Laicey: lucid dreams have been used by psychologists to treat nightmares, it works on my nightmares all the time.

everyone can always get Dr. Stephen LaBerge's book "exploring the world of lucid dreaming" out of the library, I own a copy and found it extremely helpful

Which may be my problem... I rarely sleep more than 3-4 hours a time (and usually a night).  Mostly because I have nutso dreams and wake myself up.  Scare myself out of going back to sleep.  About once a month I get a whole 6-8 hours.  I'll check that book out, though.  It's a subject my best friend has been pretty interested in, but I haven't done much research. (Good thing I actually LIKE research though!  It keeps me occupied.)

Well my plan to restart general dreaming kinda worked .

Do tell jaggsky!

Ok then Drake. After turning off my reading light and putting the pillow i was using as a head support on the ground and shutting my eyes. I started to dream but it wasn't super clear I could only vaguely figure out the setting(took me a good portion of my day to get a answer i could live with) , next it seemed only after 10 or so mins after starting the dream, that my brothers dog decided that 12:30 am would be a good time to wake me up(which he shouldn't have), pulling me out of it and after that i couldn't get another one going.

that sounds like very good progress to me

[Jaggs]

Now to set another goal. Any ideas??

Any Furry LDers (Lucid dreamers) out there? if you dont know what lucid dreaming is its finding out that your in a dream, and do whatever you want, delve into your subconscious, run around your dream world blowing stuff up, or just have an adventure and test out your powers. There are many forums and websites to help you to learn how to remember your dreams (for all of you who say your "dreamless" your not you just cant remember them) and then proceed to LDing.

Anyway, if your a furry and LD like me post your experiences here
I really just want to see how many furries on this forum like to LD.

I just made a LDing thread because I didnt see this one... oh well.

Yes I LD also, I go to the dreamviews forum for all my LD needs.

What I do is RC'S (reality checks)
for example
In dreams your hand most likely is missing or even has more than one finger, so if at any time I think I am dreaming, or I simply think about anything that reminds me of dreaming, I look at my hand, It eventually becomes a habit and even carries on into your dreams, So eventually I will be in a dream look at my hand, and say "Oh look I'm dreaming!" then the hilarity ensues.  oh and if you say you dont have dreams, you do. you just cant remember them, if you want to remember them follow these simple steps.

1. when you wake up, stay still (dont be stiff and you can move a little but dont do something like get out of bed).
2. Sit there and really think about what your dream was about.
3. withing a couple of days you will be remembering your dreams and you may be surprised to find out that you have more than one dream in one night!
