Dream Views (or DV to its familiars) is one of the main internet communities about lucid dreaming. It contains a comprehensive introduction to lucid dreaming and an active forum, which also contains tutorials on various topics, and users' dream journals. The main project behind this website is to offer a broad content concerning lucid dreaming, without relying on "new-ageish" subjects such as astral projection and the similar. Apart from the website itself, its forum is a meeting point to a wide community, providing extensive support to lucid dreaming.
Aesthetically, it has a cool, blue and gray theme. The site has changed from its phpBB software to Invision Power Board (IPB). However, due to member feedback, it was recently changed to vBulletin software.
As of March 2007, the forum was under new ownership by Top Cola Web Design, and Asher joined Seeker and Howitzer as an administrator.
This website firstly introduces lucid dreaming and the website itself. Then it extends the concept of lucid dreaming into further articles, mentioning the advantages and rewards involved with it. It then presents the induction techniques. Finally, a reader comes to a page containing tutorials on different techniques. Something worth pointing out is that these tutorials are the ones located in the tutorials section of the community forum.
[edit] Dream Views forum
The Dream Views forum is open for reading, but guests can only post on the meta forum a section dedicated to feedback and resolution of problems concerning the website. Still, anybody can register in order to post, acknowledging the forum's rules and providing their email. A great place for newcomers to start posting is the Newbie Zone, where experienced members will be glad to answers questions concerning lucid dreaming. Apart from the subforums dedicated to lucid dreaming, there are the sections about general dreams, sleep, and beyond dreaming a place for discussion over topics not exactly proven by science. Dream precognition, out-of-body-experiences, and other paranormal things belong there. The dream journal sections allows a member to create and edit his own journal, something really helpful when it comes to lucid dreaming. Lastly, the off-topic boards let members discuss about anything not exactly related to lucid dreaming.
