Also, I mean: While remembering what I did during the day, I will also start to RC and keep at it until I fall asleep. Like, watching a clock and then you start to think back, while you think back, continue doing the clock RC until you fall asleep.

Ight, cool.

I've been writing brief notes from the time I awaken.
Then writing more in detail later when I have time, thanks for the advice.

When you become lucid, stay calm. Getting too excited will wake you up. If you want to control your surroundings or your actions, visualize what you want. A dream is just what you are thinking about while in R.E.M. sleep.

If you want to keep a dream journal, I recommend a tape recorder for reporting your dreams after you wake up. You can say stuff a lot faster and record a lot more before the memory fades significantly. You can play the recordings later and write them down or type them.

Okay,thanks, I think I'm going to try that floating technique. Because for me I remember a bunch of dreams, but to often I don't realize that what I'm experiencing is a dream. I even am sometimes repeating a mantra threw the dream, but I never realize its a dream ahah. I do find success in the WILD technique, but I want to see how good I can get at the MILD before I just stick with the WILD, because from others advice they say that once mastered the MILD it can be very useful.
It's seems to be always about school, and I never remember to do a reality check even though I do them constantly through out the day, I think ima switch to try to float idea. haha. (:
