I am glad to help. It's exciting to see others learn about lucidity. I am sure CanisLucidus feels much the same way.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I especially like the hand gesture for the fire. I may give that a shot. Thanks for the idea!

And i also little by little try meditation/dream yoga exercises, i try to feel my skin sensations while doing my usual daily activities, it really quiets down the mindstream. Lucid dreaming methods do actually give quite much besides lucid dreaming

Oh you are sooooo dead on there. You will start to see many parallels of lucid dream and real life stuff.

I think all this is common. You just have to find what works best for you and with practice its gets easier. You sound like you are right on track though.

I had a very vivid scene this morning where I was looking at hard packed earth with fall leaves scattered about. I could feel the cool wind on my body as I watched the leave swirls around and blow away. Then in an instant I was back in bed. I think this is just being on the border line of entering the dream. When you get that you know you are close.
