I'm a very restless and somewhat light sleeper, usually awakening multiple times a night. And I have a lot of trouble remembering dreams... Sometimes I wonder if I just hardly dream at all.

Should I even bother trying? Or does it seem like something I wouldn't be able to do?
Welcome to Dreamviews!

All you need is one lucid dream, and you'll never look back. It's that good. Everybody can do it, so can you

OK, as Burke says, remembering your dreams is important, so you need to work on your dream recall. Check out this tutorial that includes tips for that. Good place to get acquainted with various techniques is Beginners guide to lucid dreaming.

I would recommend you practice induction technique for DILD, but you can also check out the WILD. If you wake up at night, you can try the WBTB - Wake back to bed - technique, and also DEILD. You can read explanations about all of them in the Beginners guide and then check out the details in DV Wiki. Please post your questions should you need help. Happy dreams
