Hello everybody!! I am new to the Lucid Dreaming scene(Just started to try it seriously as of yesterday.) I have been keeping a dream journal in attempt to get my dream recall up but I often have a hard time remembering my dreams in the morning. I also am starting to do reality checks when I think about them, which is not as often as I would like(once every couple hours). I am excited to get into the community and can't wait to explore the separate reality! I would love to hear from any experience dreamers and get any feedback/suggestions as to what I should try to do in the near/far future!

Welcome to DreamViews!

If you can't recall anything after waking up in the morning, try to lie in bed as still as possible with your eyes closed, but be careful not to fall asleep again. If you do this you should be able to recall some of your dreams again.

You are already starting out right, keeping a dream journal and doing reality checks. Still, I recommend you read through Puffin's Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming for basic information on lucid dreaming. DreamViews also has a lot of good tutorials, including one on Dream Recall.

I hope this will help you out somehow. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I second this. Anyway, lucid dreaming is one heck of a thing. Good luck in your dream related travels.

I also like MILD, here's a good tutorial for that.

Just like the first post said, lay in bed with your eyes closed and just focus on dreams, right when you wake up! this is a very good way to remember! And also a dream journal, you can use a voice recorder too if that is easier. Just write down the main thoughts of the dream, details, whatever you find important, or all your dreams in full detail. If you only remember fragments write them, if you only remember feelings, write them down too! Anything.
If you have any questions feel free to ask
