In 40 years I have had lucid dreams on very few occassions and considered the experiences to be fascinating but without any repetition control. I now learn otherwise.

With 3 young kids it's hard to commit to anything (other than them) but I thought this was worth it. So I'll start at the beginning and write down all my dreams immediately on waking (those nappies can wait a bit) check my watch regularly, and try to concentrate on becoming aware of being in a dream state before falling asleep. I'll log my success or otherwise, as a discipline to myself so sorry if this sounds a bit self-centred.

What I do need is some pointers which helped anyone start because I'm flying blind really.

Thanks
