Wow what a great place you have here. I found it by clicking on one of Lilacsky's links on another site. I was kind of drawn to you (not to sound weird). What I mean is I have been searching for a place much like this so that I could learn and chat with others with same interests as my own.
Ok now your all probably wondering who I am....
Well I have been trying to get to know myself better spiritually for the past 3 years. I have done a lot of reading and spent a lot of time tuning into myself to see where I stand within the universe I live. I have studied Wicca, witchcraft, and a few dreaming techniques. However I am still not quite sure where I stand. I can't say that I am Wiccan or a witch. I feel I am getting close to finding myself but maybe it might be time for a little guidance (Lilac I have sent you a pm on another site for this purpose). With all the information floating around in my head I feel overwhelmed and lost. I hope I can get back on the right track once again with a little help.
Sorry so sounding so vague, I have a terrible headache again and it's late. If anyone has any questions for me to help get to know me please feel free to ask. I would probably do better with specific questions rather than trying to think of what you want to know.

Hello there" We have some really good members here. And you will know what I mean when time goes on. If you won't to find your true self. Try meditating for the answer. To me watever you are is dependent on whatever you have interests that makes the true you. Your perfect you in the present time. Since nobody is ever perfect. Perfection seems eternity depending on what your perception of perfect is. If you made the choice to explore witchcraft it's what you won't to findout. If you are interested in long term exploration it is what you are. Your changing Interest is your changing identity. Your changing identity is your changing real you.

Hi Anise, I thought that was you on last night!hehe.. well Im happy you made it...and happy you joined us!! thanks for the compliments and many people say that they were drawn to this site or myself lol...I am thankful I can help people find what they are looking for and perhaps help them find their true paths in life.. I think many people get lost sometimes or perhaps have trouble following what is inside of us because the mind can cloud our true destinations.. I have often had the same trouble but I found going with the flow of life and letting it lead me into what I desire is not only trusting myself but letting my innerslef guide me..but thats just another one of my theories haha..that you attract the life around you with your inner self/subconscous.. I would not say Im on a particular path myself because Im always changing/growing so my path is as well..and I like to remain flexable and open to life and to me that is just how I am..I have learned to trust myself and thats important in life I think.. okay anise..hehe so what exactly are you looking for as far as dreams go? are you wanting to try astral projection as well, and have you ever had an out of body experience? and what other interests do you have as far as metaphysics go? feel free to ask myelf or anyone here questions as michael said everyone is very helpful here..Im sure we can help you.. also I read some of your poetry..very good stuff..however it shows that something is missing or you are seeking something more profound..could it be maybe that astral projection/obe's is what your looking for..I think obe's can be very helpful in spiritual aide, and I know they have shown me many things about myself and the world around me that I needed to see and know for myself..obe's offer something this reality can not..a truth that we all seek I think within ourselves.. anyway..Im pleased you found us and I hope to help in any way I can!! ;D Lilac

As far as dreams go...I would like to have better control of them in whatever way fits me. As of right now I have had a few lucid dreams but they were very short. I have been using the time as a RC and that seems to work pretty well for me (I don't know why but I'm always concerned about the time). I have had several precognitive dreams that I wish to learn more about and possibly develop them more. As far as OBE or astral projection...I'm not sure. I would need to learn more about them to make a decision.
Thank you for the kinds words about my poems. I do feel that I am missing something or looking for something more but in all honesty I don't know what that might be. I do suffer from severe depression and I wrote most of those right before I sought help and while I was begining the medication the gave. So perhaps that has a lot to do with what I wrote. I know the story I wrote is a reflection of that time if nothing else. And since then I have felt a little better but I am still lost but not as shy (timid) as I once was.
I have also tried meditating but haven't quite got the hang of it yet. I'm still working on that as well. I think I will find whatever I'm looking for while I am here. And I thank you for your warm welcome.

Hello Anise, welcome to the forum, nice to meet you. Wow if you already had lucid dreams then you`re right on the track, cool. You will find lots of memebers who are advanced in LD and they have great and clear tips and hints how to grow further in these matters. Michael expresed it in a nice way, like wherever you will put your energy - there you will be growing and just become that what you are longing for. Hope you`ll soon feel home here with us. lgn

your welcome anise and as nani said If your having lucid dreams and precognitive ones as well thats great! you are welcome to open your own dream journal and also join us in the next study we are doing which is a walk through of the book"the art of dreaming" by Carlos Castenada..Im sure it will help you out a bit as well as everyone on the forum..me inlcuded lol.. and to sign up that is in the astral projection learning programs. I would like to hear more about your dreams as well..I love to read others dreams/ld's and try to help them the best I can.. if your not ready for techniques yet I would simply try reading a book before bed that is on the subject of dreams..this will help open your mind a bit and reading before bed usually helps in dream lucidity and vividness. good luck and I too hope you feel at home here!
