Hey, newbie here.

To keep things simple, I'm just another person seeking a lucid dream, but it's very mind-blowing for me to even imagine having presence in such a thing. I first heard about it around a year back when the movie Inception was released. It truly amazes me, and I feel regret that I didn't put time into this before.

Now I know we dream every night, but I rarely remember my dreams, like twice a month. And it wasn't until a few days ago when I began to actually keep track of a dream journal and reality checks. These things seemed to help a bit with dream recall, and I hope for my dream recalls to reach a more vivid state by doing this kind of practice.

So here I am now, seeking advice and help. Which brings me to the problem that I faced with two nights ago. I attempted the WBTB and WILD methods, but whenever I tried to get to sleep paralysis, I'd end up reaching a "falling asleep" state but my leg or my arm would end up twitching and wake me up. This happened quite a few times, so I eventually just gave up and fell asleep, not recalling any dream in the morning.

I've read somewhere that this was due to inconsistent sleeping times, but I'm not too sure. Any clarification would be great, thanks.

And now my journey begins...
