Hi peoples, hopefully this will be the start of something wonderful

Reality Checks:
- Checking fingers/hands, pushing fingers through palms
- Checking clocks/signs and checking agai to see if it changes
- Spinning a coin and seeing if I can make it stay up (got this from inception )

Dream Signs:
- I don't really know any yet, as i can hardly remember my dreams, but a lot are at my school i think
-
-

Short-Term Goals:
- Remembering at least 1 dream every night (preferably 2-3, I am at rock bottom right now)
- Being lucid within a week (i took 5 days before, so hopefully I'll be faster this time round)
- Attempting a WILD

Long-Term Goals:
- Remembering at least 3 dreams every night
- Having a lucid dream every few nights (or once-twice a week, depends how realistic that goal is)
- Being able to maintain lucidity for longer and increase my level of control

Lucid/Dream Recall History:
- When i tried for lucid dreaming for a week I had about 10 dreams recalled and one turned from non-lucid to a very short lucid.

Current Technique:
-DILD with a little bit of MILD. I plan on meditating more but I haven't been doing it regularly at the moment.

I am reading through lesson 1 now and its all good stuff!
My motivations for lucid dreaming includes:
The thrill of having control
Being able to have magical powers and bending elements (probably my personal favorite, and what I want to do when i get the hang of lucidity )
Learning more about myself
Getting inspiration and perhaps being shown some amazing things

I naturally go to sleep around about 9:30PM, but it can vary by half an hour each way. My waking up times are a little sporadic, as it can change from 4:00AM to 6:30AM, so I don't know if that is what is affecting my recall, or if it has any negative affects on my attempts to LD.
