Ive been finding it really hard to gain lucid dreams, I dream alot but can never become lucid in any its like I fall asleep then wake up the next morning but I know I can remeber what I did in my dream perfect, acutally I see my dream when Im asleep.. really I dont know which way it goes.. either I have the mental image in my head when I wake up or I sleep have the dream see it then wake up. Anyone able to explain this part to me?

Anyways I do reality checks all the time when im awake but it hasnt moved into my dreams yet. My dream journal hasnt started yet, i've been alcking on that one greatly but I plan to start tomorrow morning. I just feel lost, I dont know what to think before I goto sleep besides I know im going to have a lucid dream and I really do feel like im going to have one but in the end its a failure. I think maybe if I giev it time it will start to happen but the times been awhile now already. Any tips out there from people who where in my position before?
