My avatar is the album cover of my favorite album (And Justice For All) by my favorite band (Metallica).
Dr. Turk because I love him (in a totally manly way).
Scrubs happens to be my favorite TV show.

Mine is an old picture of Ty Cobb, "sliding" into home plate. Not only was he one of the greatest baseball players ever, he was also one of the meanest motherfuckers ever to swing a bat. Seriously, the guy used to sharpen his cleats (which he called claws) before every game so that when he slid into a base, he could cut up the baseman if he didn't get out of his way. He also tried to stomp a crippled man to death after the man called him a half-******... not a nice guy.
Terra, because her Japanese and English name have been combined to produce my username, and because Magitek Armour is awesome.
My avatar is, in my opinion, the best, most well-developed (not in the chest sense), female character of any video game I've played.
My avatar is a cropped image taken from an image titled Stuff I Learned from Video Games that features a stylized Sonic and Tails with subtitles that read, "We're better when we work together."
I'm a fan of the Sonic franchise and I picked this image because of the release of Sonic 4: Episode 2 (in which Sonic and Tails, indeed, work together), to demonstrate that I enjoy alternative, stylized versions of Sonic, if done in good or humorous taste, and because the image itself is full of things that I actually did learn from video games and later applied to my life.

The full size image is of Akuma sipping a cup of tea with one hand, with a blook held open in the other.
I posted this image on 4chan when there was a thread of fanboys complaining about an Avengers comic in which Black Panther puts Silver Surfer in a bent arm bar, taking advantage of his humanoid pysiology to compensate for their difference in strength.

A dozen replies of 'Oh, well, if you say so' later and the thread was over. I found that incredibly amusing.
It's tricky to do...but what I do is once I wake up (preferably groggy), I focus on what I last dreamed about, any shred of it at all, and re-enter sleep immediately. The dream needs to be in REM either way.silver wolf009 said:
The sooner you "consciously" realize the absurdity of what is happening, the sooner you can take control.
(and it's been a great inspiration for short stories and conceptualizing, I'll tell you that)
A way to develop your method is, after each morning, FORCE yourself to remember as much of your dream as you can; every detail, from any point backwards.
Do so immediately upon awaking; do not think of ANYTHING else if possible, and try to identify common themes. You're looking for "triggers".
I have several triggers in my dreams that I've identified (certain athletics performances, grappling combat, racing through odd locations, catastrophic weather events, tall silhouetted "melted down" power plants, high jumps and the onset of winged flight) that I begin to recognize that I'm dreaming.
The triggers don't always work; especially if I'm under a lot of stress, physically or mentally.
All of this is done by my own observation, and I do not know if any of this is mechanically tied to actual lucid dreaming. But I do frequently attain it, at least when I do dream.
