Hi guys.

Three years ago I became interested in dreams and sleep - mostly the biochemistry and stuff like that -- I'm not particularly interested in Freud and Jung (the coolest psychologist on the subject IMO is Medard Boss).

After reading one of Allan Hobsons books I was introduced to lucid dreaming (which was briefly mentioned in the book). After some google fu I found DV and started practicing reality checks and began to keep a dream journal. It was during the summer holidays so I had plenty of time each morning to write and I had plenty of sleep.

But when school started I felt I didn't have enough time to keep a dream journal and stopped doing reality checks. I have had 40+ lucid dreams I can remember - most of them quite short - so I know the feeling.


In may I recovered my interest in dreams wanting to use it for more than "just fun" - like getting inspiration for my music. Since then I have worked hard and I have approximately 90 entries in my dream journal (which I am happy about) and I try to write every day even though I have to get up early.
But I have trouble getting lucid (no prob with recall). I have had one WILD (dream-reentry technique) which was awesome but besides that I have had only about 4 and every time the thing that convinced me that I was dreaming was that the dream was ending and everything fading.
I do RC's and I try not just to make them routines but to consider the situation every time.
The only problem I have with the RC's is that I forget to do them when I am really concentrated or deeply involved in a conversation...

Can you think of any other possibilities why I am failing?
