      A few questions

      - Lately I've been having (or at least remembering) more dreams than usual. At first it was kinda cool because it meant more lucids but now it's getting to the point where I have so many that it's hard to remember details of the dreams. I can remember the basic plot but not enough details to make the multiple dreams too enjoyable of an experience. False awakenings are also becoming pretty common.

      - I'm able to become lucid fairly frequently now and the dreams are a lot more vivid stable than they used to be but I seem to forget that I'm in control. For example, last night I became lucid and the first thing I did was start searching for someone but someone confronted me and asked me to run a few errands for them. At first I knew I didn't really have to listen to them but pretty soon I was stuck following them around doing what they asked. Is there any sort of exercise I can do during lucids to remind myself that I am (or at least should be) in control? Like I'll start out fully lucid but as the dream progresses, the lucidity or the amount of control I have starts to fade.

      - Sometimes I'll notice something that doesn't make sense but instead of thinking about it long enough to become lucid, my mind will wander and I'll forget about it. Any tips?

      Thanks in advance. =D

      Hmm... well, for the first question... do you tend to wake up a lot? If not, you should try waking up every 90 minutes (which is approximately one full cycle of sleep). When I'm doing very badly with recall, this is something I do to rebuild it. I sleep for a core 4.5 hours and then wake up every 90 minutes and write down some notes. Then practice a MILD mantra between each dream If false awakenings are happening a lot more often, start training yourself to do a RC every time you wake up! Pinch your nose and see if you can breathe, for instance.

      The second is currently a struggle for me, too, at the moment. What I'm doing right now, is internalizing the notion of being more focused with my lucidity. I let it all slack off last month because my sleep schedule changed dramatically, and I couldn't work on goals and such (which I usually do during a WBTB... but I couldn't do those last month). So my lucids became quite out of my hands and random.

      So, start to internalize the idea that you will be focused when it comes to your lucidity. Perhaps also imagine yourself doing something you really want to do in a dream.

      And for the 3rd, well, that problem happens sometimes to me too. I'll even think something reminds me of dreaming and then get instantly distracted by something.
