Welcome to Dreamviews!

It's good that you have previous experience with lucid dreaming, having them naturally as a child is helpful in learning how to get lucid more often!

I've had dreams where I'm very conscious and I make decisions knowing I'm dreaming - but it is only part of the plot. All it takes is a tiny little bit more to be able to turn it into a lucid dream where you have full control! It just takes time and practice, it will happen

Meditation, exercise and awareness are three excellent tools to help you get lucid more often. Being aware of your senses throughout the day really helps, and when I started jogging and learning to meditate my LD Count rocketed!

To stay dedicated and make it a habit, simply just make sure you keep filling out your dream journal every night, no matter how much, or how little you remember. It will only take a little while but soon you will do it without any ideas of giving up Whenever I want more inspiration I take a look at other people's Dream Journals such as Hyu or Puffin
