lucid dream struggles

Hey,

I`ve been struggling to lucid dream for a while now.
I think the main problem is that my dreams are really close to reality, like I had a dream where I was in school and my physics teacher returned the test and i got a C-(usually I always get As in physics tests). And its like that for all of my dreams, usually there are only really small differences. Sometimes its the plots that dont make sense e.g. I threw a fire cracker in a hosptial once and it started to burn.

My dream recall is really inconsistent too for example sometimes I remember three dreams in one night and sometimes I dont remember anything.

Has anyone had similar problems?

Well there is only one advice. Keep practicing...
Yeah it might sound a bit cliché but so is the problem :D.
Use a diary for the dream recall and learn some Reality Checks.

What's your sleep schedule like? Typically dreams, in my case, are much more vivid between the 6th and 8th hours of sleep.

Also drinking/marijuana (and I'm assuming other drugs) right before heading to bed make it more difficult to dream vividly.

Welcome!

It doesn't matter where your dreams are; chances are that even if you're battling a dragon, you still won't notice you're dreaming. Have you done any reality checks? Have you been aware of yourself and your surroundings? One of the most important factors for lucid dreaming is awareness. If you're not aware in waking life, what makes you think you'll be aware in your dreams?

And recall fluctuates anyway. No worries there. :)

Also, don't want brag, but I am very good at DILD's. Here is my guide, :D
