Hey everyone, I've just started my attempt at lucid dreams, here are some problems I'm having,

I'm trying to keep a dream journal, but every time I have the intent on recording my dreams I don't remember them, and I seem to dream more when I don't record them.

I had my first lucid dream about a month ago, I woke up in my room, but started freaking out as I realized I was dreaming then woke up.

My second lucid dream was strange, I'm a physically fit guy and I dream about going to the gym sometimes, and I guess my dream sign is doing pullups, when I realize I'm doing to many pull ups I know im dreaming and as soon as I realize it, my conscious mind gets thrown in, i was like in this strange world for a few seconds then i noticed my eyes started opening and I again woke up in my room (in a dream state) , I did a reality check and looked at my hands they were blurry and turning invisible, I tried to get up but lost control and woke up.

Now the third time is puzzling, I was doing pull ups, realized I was dreaming, everything went dark then my body started tingling all over, it felt pretty good actually, so I opened my eyes and this black shadow flew across my face and it startled me, I noticed I couldn't move, some how I than started moving my arms,then I kind of faded back to reality.
