Hey all! I'm relatively new to the Lucid Dreaming community. I've known about it for a long while now, but it wasn't until recently I began to put some effort into it. One of my favorite movies for years has been Waking Life (cheers if you've seen it!), and I've finally decided to put the effort into Lucid Dreaming.

So here's my status. Right now, my dream recall isn't the hottest. In fact, it's very shallow. My remembrance of most dreams is very blurry, cut up, fast paced, and short. My dream journal consists of short entries of simple things I remember happening, or simple people I remember talking to yet don't remember the topic of conversation. And then I'll remember general plots to my dreams, which usually involve familiar yet seemingly random people or places interacting with very abstract situations (such as, a seemingly random group of friends and I will be at another friend's wedding - she's getting married to someone none of us know and it's very awkward and abstract because she's a teenager). What I can remember of my dreams never really makes much sense, and never seems to have any deep or relating concepts behind them.

Anyways, as eager as I am to delve into Lucid Dreaming, I'm open and willing to be very patient. Heh, I mean, I'm asking for the experience to do anything I want - how can I not be open to patience? But what I'm asking is for any advice anyone has as to what I can be doing better or practicing more, or any techniques/methods to put to use. Right now, I guess I'm banking on eventually having a DILD, but I've read into WILDing and I'd love to be able to do that.

Thanks!
