Now what...

I have good dream recall, but I don't know what to do next. Yesterday I had one dream, the day before I had three. I usually have one atleast once a day too, and I do a reality test, but I am still not achieving lucid dreams. Help?

Keep trying, it took me over a week for it to start appearing in my dreams, plus it helps to get a good 8 hours of sleep....if you have trouble sleeping take a benedryl....Sometimes trying too hard messes me up, since I've joined this group I've been really gung-ho about having lucid dreams, and they have been less frequent, last night I barely even remembered my dreams and I went to bed early too...Just curious what the xxx in your name is

I am a Porn star. Just kidding, I was trying to make the last letter of my name uppercase....i MaDe ItLiKeThIs....When i was making an aol name. I knew i could put one X, but I didn't like it.. Anyways, I have been keeping a dream journal for a little over a week, and nothing has happened yet.

Give it some time and like jill1978 said dont push too hard, you sound like you are on the right track keeping a journal and the fact you have good dream recall. You say you are doing the reality check in the dream and it dosent work? Or that you are tyring to program yourself doing checks normaly when your awake. Reality checks dont usualy work for me, my dreams are to damned real most of the time, so who knows they might not work for you. I'm actually at the point especially after my last powerful dream, (see too real in lucid experiences) as to not care whether or not I am dreaming anymore, now is real, thats all that makes sense to me at the moment. oh crap late fer werk

technically I was already AT work, sitting around, All I had to do was Don a goretex suit and make myself visible in the Cleanroom... YAY goretex sucks..... One thing, you will have to try and give order a shot, if you let your subconsious and imagination run rampant in chaos, you will not gain consiousness you have to try and focus, whether it be on a task or just the features of your hands or feet, give it a shot. Luck to you in your journey

Yeah, give it time eternal. It took me almost a month before my recall was good enough and I started noticing strange occurances in such a way that they made me lucid, or suspicious enough to reality test. Patience and determination are the number two keys to becoming lucid for me. Number one is recall.

You will get there its not a fast thing to pick up for most people anyhow. Most people are not even aware that you can dream this way. Awareness is the key to lucid dreaming in my opinion.
