Hi everbody

Thought i'd introduce myself frst. I'm a student, just finished my second year at keele university studying for a Biochemistry & Philosophy degree. My hobbies are pretty much anything nerdy, I read books and watch films alot, enjoy video games and have recently got back into a childhoob hobby of mine, the card game and Magic: The gathering. I first discovered Lucid dreaming completely by accident a few years ago, when I realised half way through a dream that I was in a dream and just after thinking "Wow! This is going to be awsome!", I completely forgot that I was dreaming Fastforward to a few weeks ago and I was in a book shop and found a book on lucid dreaming going dirt cheap, and how i'm hooked I've yet to have a lucid dream (on purpose anyway), and my first LD goal is to perform on-stage with KISS

My first step to achieve a DILD is improving my dream recall, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere with it. I've been using the technique of repeatedly tellnig myself that "I will remeber my dreams" until I fall asleep, and staying still after I wake to help with dream recall, but so far my dream journal just been lying by the side of my bed becuase I haven't got anything to put it in. I've also put an alarm on a few hours before I normally wake up but i've so far slept right through it. I've never really remember that many dreams, but I'm a little disappointed that i've made no progress at all after a week of annoyingly sound sleep, so I figured I should get some more help on the matter.

So good people, any tips or techniques to help me out? I know I should be more patient but i've not even bugun to master the basics AND I JUST WANT TO LD SO BADLY
