That's all I could fien that's bad for you.

You could use this to your advantage.
Pay attention to what games you are playing before bed, then prepare yourself for those dreams.
Tell yourself that when you notice the dreamscape that is similar to your video game that you will realize you are dreaming...
Should help a little...

This goes for the OP also; with the assumption that he plays games.

Well the thing is that I never have any vividity or recall at all, so I would blame it on being on the comp 21/7

I actually don't play games that often. I usually fuck around on the internet for most of my time. My dreams usually involve games, though.

I think something is really fucking with my progress, but I don't know what it is.

I can't concentrate on doing awareness work when I'm on the computer. This is the main reason I'm not on that much, other than to record my Lucids.

The more time I spend focused on attaining Lucidity, the more Lucids I have.

Funny how that works.

If you keep your mind on your dreaming, your recall should pick up. Don't let yourself get distracted. I know, sometimes easier said than done. I sometimes get distracted easily myself, and my Lucidity suffers for it too.

Thanks for the idea.

However, I still find the dreams less vivid. I like it better to dream about being in real life than in a game or browsing the internet.

Btw, what does OP mean/ I've been wondering for a while.

Lol, MMO logic

Hell, this thread could be overpowered, though. VEGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT IT'S POWER LEVEL?

It's Over Nine Thousand!!!

I'm on the computer all day, and I can have lucids every night if I really try :/

Sorry if this has been posted, I just skimmed. You could always install stickies, and set a recurring one to pop up every now and then, reminding you to do a reality check, be more aware, etc. Change it up, mix up the fonts and colors, and what have you. I've got one set up underneath my google search bar on my browser as a permanent sticky. Works like a charm for me.
