So it's been awhile since I've practiced anything related to lucid dreaming just because I've been so busy with school. But I have questions about my current situation about dream recall.

Lately my dream recall hasn't been the best... as I haven't been recording anything in my journal for probably a good month now. Usually I wake up without remembering anything about my dreams, but when I notice an object or a person that was in the dream, the dream vaguely comes back.

I had a specific dream a few weeks back that reminded me of lucid dreaming, how getting excited can cause you to get kicked out of your dream. Well, the dream I had involved 2 girls under a storm trying to find shelter. They enter a room somehow and there was another woman in the room. The woman comments about how wet their shirts are and I guess in my mind I may have figured where this was going then all of a sudden I woke up.

At this moment I am pretty confused. I kind of expected this lucid dream thing to be kinda easy but I don't seem to be getting anywhere(or so I believe). So I was hoping someone could shed some light about where I'm at now in terms to controlling lucid dreams and whatnot and perhaps give me a few tips of what I can do to improve at this point.

Thanks
