Hello guys, I'm new here.

I've had one accidental DILD once, a few months back. But it was really hazy. Like remember that it felt real when I'm in the dream, but suddenly becomes blurry when I try to recall it in the morning. Is this normal?

I had the impression that lucid dreams are as real as reality, and that you can recall most of the stuff like it was a memory.

I also had one accidental O.B.E. and sleep paralysis awakening. It was really scary. Saw a floating black skull, like the dementer in Harry Potter, dragging me through the floor while I was awake.

I researched and found the Lucidology 101 thing. Tried their techniques and it doesn't seem to work. I also can't recall dreams very well. I've tried the suggestions on this forum, but it's not working.

I have occasional vivid dreams where I can remember 90% of the dream or no dreams at all. I even had ones where I woke up, got some milk, lay back down and continue the dream I had.

Tips and advice? Also, what are your lucid dreams like? How real are they?
