So for a good 6 months now I've been keeping a dream journal off and on, for the most part it's been going good but i sometimes find myself in a rut unable to recall previous night's dreams, so i stop for a while then go back to it. I've only been lucid a handful of times these 6 months, and I'm trying not to stress about it. As of now i have pretty good dream recall but I can't seem to become slightly lucid at all. I even have a big sign that i put beside my clock that says 'YOU'RE DREAMING' . This doesn't seem to help much, even though i awake for short periods of time early in the morning and glance over to see what time it is.

anyways, I'm wondering if some more experienced LD'ers could help me out.
