Lesson I
-It will be several days before I can wake up without an alarm. I'll record wake-up times but they won't be natural.
Welcome Kael! Focusing on recall is the absolutely the way to go. It's such a strong base for becoming familiar with what your dreams are actually like and beginning to understand the nuances of your dreaming mind.
My #1 piece of advice here is always to make a serious, concerted effort at dream journaling. I started basically from zero, thinking that I hardly ever remembered any dreams. Determined journaling gradually drew everything out of the darkness. Anything you can remember, write it down, even if it's a fragment or just an emotion. Your effort will pay off.
If you have trouble with building your recall, don't hesitate to ask for help. We've all been there before and occasionally find ourselves back there again. :)
Lesson I
Went to bed at midnight of November 25, alarm is set for waking up at 8:30am
Welcome to the class, Kael :)
Thanks everyone :)

Well I've been sick and haven't kept fantastic track of my sleep schedule as I've been dropping to sleep at random times. Will get back to it tonight. I don't remember my dreams from the night before last but here's what little of last night's dream I do remember: Dream Journal | Lucidipedia.com
I hope you get well soon! And it's alright, you need to take care of yourself before anything else. Good news though, many people have had spontaneous lucids and awesome dreams while they were sick, so you might get lucky! :D
Well I got better but I didn't get lucid :( But hey, I am new all over again :) Unfortunately I have no recollection of last night's dreams but I can at least say that I went to bed at 22 minutes after midnight, though I don't know exactly when I woke up xD
Ugh I don't recall last night's dreams. Sleep was restless 'cause people I'm sharing a hotel room with apparently sleep best with the tv on loud >.<
Oh god I can't stand trying to go to sleep when people watch TV. Or need lights on. I know I for sure need a good night sleep for my recall to be anything above crappy.
So how long do you have to be in that hotel?
Last night my fiance and I got to have a room to ourselves so there was no tv :D I have two dreams from last night:

For some reason I can't edit my post :/ Anyway, this time I woke naturally.
Dream Journal | Lucidipedia.com This morning's emotionally charged dream. I went to bed at 1:17, had much trouble falling asleep as I suddenly lost my writer's block on a story I'm writing xD My alarm went off at 8:30 and I was remembering a dream, but I was extremely tired and fell asleep, and now I've lost it. I finally woke at 9-something.
Reality Checks
-Hold nose and breathe through it
-Double check digital clock
Lesson II
I will focus on DILD
Less than perfect recall but better than nothing Dream Journal | Lucidipedia.com
Hey Kael, I was wondering. Is this normal recall for you? Or has it had any drastic changes from before? Perhaps you underwent some lifestyle or habit change that could cause a decline in recall. :D

paigeyemps, I'm certain my recall will get much better when my fiance and I can finally have our own room. Sleeping with the tv on (which our roommate needs for some reason) is having a bad effect. The night before last went well because the roommate was out for most of the night and we had the tv off.
Hey all, I swear I didn't die xD and I ain't gonna give up. Here's hoping this is the last big setback in my growth as a dreamer. Thankfully the traveling has ended!
Dream Journal | Lucidipedia.com I don't know if I should classify some of these dreams I have as half-lucid or non-lucid. So far I've called them all non-lucid.
Hi Kael, I would murder. I don't understand people that do this. LOL.Quote:
