Hello all, this is my first time posting on these forums but i have over the past couple days been browsing these forums so I'm not a complete noob. I have also had 2 lucid dreams, not the best experiences though. My first one was when i was really young and i realized i was dreaming when i was getting chased by a green invincible blob thing. Although i knew i was dreaming i didn't realize that it couldn't hurt me so i still ran away trying to get out of the dream, which i did by going cross eyed (lol). the second time was about 5 weeks back when i tried to lucid dream and the first night i did but i was only lucid for about 5 seconds before something distracted me and i forgot it was a dream.
Sorry about the wall of text but the reason why I'm writing this is because I've begin to try to have lucid dreams again (i had forgot since the second time i lucid dreamed) for about a week now and i haven't gotten anything and i was wondering like most people on these forums if I'm doing anything wrong, or if there's anything i could be doing better. I would consider my dream recall pretty good. I can remember about 2-4 dreams a night and i think i have found a dream sign which is water. It comes up in at least 1 of my dreams a night so I've been doing reality checks whenever i see water in an attempt for it to pass on into my dreams. so if I'm missing anything or if anyone can give any suggestions it would be most appreciated. sorry for making you read so much..
