Well the title kind of says it all. I NEVER Read my dream journal after entering dreams and I was wondering if that could be affecting my... um non lucid-ness? Or uhh ability to have lucids?

All the lucids Iv'e had have been accidental and VERY vague, honestly I am not even sure they can be called full on lucids!

So back to the title and overall questoin...

Is reading your dream journal periodically important for lucid dreaming

Also I NEVER do reality checks are those REALLY important too? All I really do is try FILDs and WILDs sometimes but give up like an hour after AND sometimes I slip into sleep paralysis on accident but I NEVER take the opportunity and the reason is... I usually only get SP when I am sick!

example: I get up at like 6 on the weekend and I am painfully sick to blow my nose... I doze and then slip into SP BUT! I can't breathe through one nostril or I am uncomfortable so I SHAKE myself out and go to regular sleep... So... Really I dunno what to do
