Problems returning

Hello all,

I was semi active here a year or so ago and had a number of LDs in that time.

Now that I'm returning I'm having a couple problems.

1. I'm having a hard time developing my dream recall again. I've been waking up around 4am to try and write down my dreams but all I remember is that I had a dream.

2. Since I started trying again a week or so ago I have had 2 lucid dreams 2 nights in a row. But in each of them I have trouble clarifying them. I mean they seem fairly real but at the same time they have that obvious sureal dream look. So while it's pretty real it's by no means mistakable for real life.

Any tips in these areas would be of great help!

Thanks!
