So, I've been trying to lucid dream for a solid month now. I sort of succeeded once, but I still have crappy dream recall. This may be because, even though I am absolutely motivated to become a consistent lucid dreamer, I still haven't gotten to the point where reality checks, self awareness, and dream journaling are habitual. Especially for reality checks and self awareness, I would like some help turning these things into habits, so that they are more natural, and therefore more likely to happen in my dreams.
