Hey guys just thought id introduce myself. I found out a year ago about lucid dreaming and was to lazy or busy to really get involved in it. Now however i have a really strong motivation to learn or get better at lucid dreaming.
I used to have extremely vivid nightmares when i was a kid and could remember them pretty accuratly, some even to this day just from memory. This past week ive been keeping a dream journal, after i had this one particular nightmare that was probably one of the most vivid ive ever had.
Im sort've confused at how you get started to lucid dream or have some control over your dreams, as theres so much info out there. Ive read that the first step is to keep a dream journal. Does having vivid dreams help to lucid dream? Also how do you make yourself aware that your in a dream, ive read of rc's but im usually so involved in a dream or if i have an instant where i think im dreaming i forget it and continue on with the story of the dream so to speak.?
Cheers.
