A few years ago I tried really hard to start lucid dreaming and couldn't really get it going. I did manage to randomly have one one night however, but I woke up as soon as I became lucid, and I've had no luck since.

Right now I'm going through an uneasy part in my life, (Starting community college, all my friends are leaving for 4 year universities) but I have a bit more free time now and I'm committed to making something out of it. I want that to be lucid dreaming, so I guess I'll just read up as much as I can and try to update my dream journal every day. Happy Dreaming!
