Hi! So I've been keeping a dream journal for like 4 days, but I've got some questions:

1. How can someone plan their dreams? Do they think about the plans constantly before falling asleep or?
2.Do people dream EVERY night, or does it happen ocasionally?
3.My dreams are always blurry, I can remember some aspects of it and write it down, but almost never something exciting happens like it used to, and I can't figure out how to look for sings in my dream when I really can't control anything, or be concious in it.
4.After the third (or fourth etc.) REM stage when I wake in the middle of a dream(even though that sometimes doesn't happen) and write it down, do I have to go trough 3 REM stages again to have a strong dream or can I fall asleep immediately after writing down the first one?

I guess that's all for now... After the third day I started getting pessimistic about LD, cause now I really can't imagine to find sings, getting concious, or even remembering my dreams fully... I know it can't happen in the first week or so, but it didn't start out so well, so any usefull help would be apriciated.
