Welcome
I'm just starting to get back into Lucid Dreaming seriously, I've been keeping a dream journal for about 3 weeks
it really helps! at first I'm like "I doubt this will help" but I'm remembering at LEAST 2 dreams a night for the past 2 and a half weeks
and some nights I remember 5! I've only had like 2 or 3 lucid dreams since I started trying but hey, you gotta start somewhere
I'm also new to this site, anyway, the A thing on your palm is a good idea, I did that before and also, my personal favorite reality check, is while your in a dream, to shut your mouth and plug your nose and you can breathe, it's a weird feeling, same as how it is to fly in a lucid dream, it's so cool
well, I'm sorry I'm rambling xD but tonight I'm gonna go to bed around 9ish, set an alarm for 3am (that's around when my REM is) and try to WILD, then my normal alarm is at six,I've tried to WILD before,
no results. Anyway, sorry for the rambling, but you should try a WILD sometime, or try a lot of methods and see what works for you
