Hi all,
So I kinda fell into all this. Last week I had a lucid dream. It was awesome. It was triggered because I read an article on cracked.com about lucid dreaming earlier that day after stumbling onto it. During the dream I realized that my wife was behaving very oddly, and then I became lucid. It was (as I said before) awesome. I don't remember everything because I didn't write it down. I know that I flew, at least twice. I was absolutely amazed at the detail of the dream. I woke up at one point because I felt cold and tried to make it warmer in my dream and couldn't, so then I thought it was because I was actually cold in my bed, and then I woke up. But then I went back to sleep immediately and became lucid again (wbtb I guess). Anyway, it was such a great experience that I have been reading up on all this here at dreamviews.

I've learned a couple things:
1) I'm very lucky to have had such a long lucid dream without "trying"
2) I need to keep a dream journal before I can really try to have another.

This is where it has been tough. Since my LD, I have had terrible dream recall. I've kept a pad of paper next to my bed and repeat to myself as I'm falling asleep that I will remember all the details of my dreams, but I've only remembered one dream since then. When I wake up, I don't move and try to remember the dreams I've had but many nights I don't remember any thing.

Any tips on how to increase my dream recall?
