I tried a few times writing my dreams but I was too lazy to do it at night after waking after a dream and I wouldn't remember my dreams in the morning. Later I found out about that Sleep paralysis and read that you can get in a Lucid dream just laying on your back and not thinking about anything just concentrating on breathing just like meditation. I tried this a few times but didn't succeed. I think I was pretty close to it cause one time I experienced some strange feelings and visions that lasted for a minute or something.
This time I decided to seriously write a dream journal after finding out about this site. I even dowloaded a dream journal app. So I want to ask will I be able to succeed in Lucid dreaming just by writing in a dream journal and maybe using that reality check?
Both are good places to start. You need to understand tho that LDing is going to take a while to learn and its gonna take more than just a dream journal app and doing reality tests now and then. You will be able to learn just you have to think of it like learning a language or something, you have to focus and work on it.

I'm gonna cut and paste some advice I gave in another thread, hopefully this'll help

These two books are the best place to get started:

The classic: ETWOLD by Stephen LaBerge
Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming: Stephen LaBerge, Howard Rheingold: 9780345374103: Amazon.com: Books

And to bring you up to date with all the modern stuff and loads of information this is great: AYD by Daniel Love
Are You Dreaming?: Exploring Lucid Dreams: A Comprehensive Guide: Daniel Love: 9780957497702: Amazon.com: Books


For youtube videos this channel is good
Stephen Berlin - YouTube

Best advice I can give is to read as much as possible and talk to people who've been doing it a long time. Good luck!
