I now few techniques, i'm doing reality checks during the day and I am normally able to record my dreams but so far I've had no success.

I was hoping talking to people on here might help. Any advice which you think might help me have my first lucid dream? All responses welcome.

Thanks

Notice your waking world

To be conscious in your dream world means you have to be conscious in your waking world.*That might sound crazy, as you are conscious when you are awake.*However what I mean is ‘consciously focused’ .*For example you are consciously focused when learning a new task, you are thinking about every action you are taking to get the right steps. When you have learned the new task you no longer have to focus as intently as you did when learning it.*Being consciously focused means looking around you and saying what you see, feel, hear, smell and touch and voicing it.*This has the added benefit of being in the moment and can help you to inner calmness, it’s almost zen like.

If you start to consciously focus on the world around you, you will carry this over into the dream world.
