I regularly attended this board from january this year to about April/May-ish, I'm not entirely sure. This is the first time I've been back here since then. I first started a dream journal which is currently a few hundred miles from my current location right now. Through this site, I was able to achieve my first lucid dream in about 2 weeks from when I first started keeping a journal and doing RC's. I was hoping I could continue this trend and continue to more advanced forms of achieving LDing like WILD's and stuff but I kept coming so close only to fail every time.

I was in 12th grade during this time so with a normal sleeping schedule of going to bed at about 10:30 and waking up at 6 (9-10 on the weekends), I was able to keep a steady cycle of when to attempt LDing and when to just work on remembering dreams. But slowly, I unknowningly showed signs of forgetfullness in doing RC's and remembering to write in my journal. At one point, I put my journal down next to my bed on the table and never touched it again.

I'm now a freshman in college at Penn State University - Main campus. My home is a few hundred miles east on Long Island, NY. My college experience hasn't lived up to everything I was hoping for and I feel I should try getting back to this.

But there are a few concerns for me.
1. Should I just start a new journal or wait until I go back home during thanksgiving to retrieve my old/current one, skip a page from my last entry and start a new chapter? (not a big deal, but it would also be a waste of a lot of paper. There was a little more than half the book left I think. But that would mean I postpone my starting of this until the end of November)

And the big and most important question/concern.
2. This is college. I have a roommate who doesn't go to bed the same time I do. He doesn't get back to the room at 3 AM but still later than me which could affect my attempts to do various types of _ILDing. And not just that, because the 10:30 bed thing was sort of a rule my mom enforced, that means that in the 2+ months I've been here, I haven't gone to bed at that time at all.


Anybody here in college but still able to persistantly get all their dream stuff done?

Thank you. And hello again to everybody even though most likely noody here probably remembers me.
