UPDATE: My personal experiences 1-7-09

I'm very new to the whole idea of lucid dreaming and dream recall. I'm trying very hard and i had only a little luck on my first night of trying to dream recall (the night of 1-6-09). I did recall about 3 sceens and a few facial expressions. I'm having a hard time staying motivated, because every time i fail i get discouraged but i still want to do it and thats why i am. Dream recalled: I remember it was a mystery. People were in someones office and this guy (unknown) found metal black stake like things wrapped up in a white cloth. His expression led me to believe that whoever those things belonged to that he thougt they were a murderer or something...he had a very surprised look on his face, like a "omg, look what i found" look. The guy who found them was about 24 to 32 looking and had a light mustache and beard type thing, it was close shaved but still noticeable...even in a dream. The setting seemed to be an office or something similar.

Neat! Judging on the dream you described, you are doing very well for your first night! You were able to infer not only the plot, but key details and emotions. Well done! Just keep doing what you're doing, and you'll continue to progress. If you want, you could even make a dream journal here.

I forgot to mention, i also had remembered a sceen were i was looking at a computer screen and it was showing all these different codes in green...don't remember any writing on the screen or any of the codes. It wasn't like windows xp or vista it was like a black screen with green writing and the writing, or typed information, was codes. p.s. one weird thing, i don't remember being IN THE DREAM, i just remember LOOKING AT THE DREAM, like a ghost or something, i saw people and stuff but i don't recall any one talking to me or noticing me. Normal?
