I understand i'm new, the "new threads" wouldn't be much help opposed to ones who have been pushing this experience for a while now. I bought a book. "Lucid dream in 30 days." (good piece by the way.) I'm on day three right now. Last night I read a bit further. Last night (night of day 2) I almost went lucid. I was in a hallway and I turned on the light to see a distorted out of place photograph on the wall, but just my luck my phone's vibration woke me up. Now aside from that I have a couple of problems I was hoping for some insight on.

1.So last night. I had a weird paradox, I'm pretty sure that it's because i'm putting to much pressure (subconsciously) on myself to remember my dreams and write them in my dream journal. Anyway. The paradox was a dream in which I was writing in my Journal just to wake up and find it empty. (Agree with my theory?)

2.Another problem I had on day one and two was that I keep waking up. I had probably 10 different dreams last night only two (the journal (I think I had it more than once) and the distorted photograph.) that I could remember. On night 1 I could only remember 1 out of several dreams.

My theory to number 2 is that I realized I was dreaming and woke up, but i'm not sure if that's accurate because I can't remember them. And due to my experience of this study my dreams aren't very vivid. (I put Celestial Seasoning - Tension Tamer herbal tea on my grocery list to test tonight.)

So my real question is has anybody had trouble in countless waking up throughout the night too? If so do you know the cause? If you didn't do you think you know the cause? Thank You.
