Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum, and to the matter of Lucid Dreaming in general. I did a few nights worth of reading before starting anything and have now begun recording my dreams in a journal, currently they are vague in detail, but I'm confident this will change in time as recording them becomes more regular.

I don't tend to join many forums, I hoped doing so here might prove my commitment, to myself really (If that makes sense) to persevere with Lucid Dreaming. I also hope to learn from your experiences.

..With that out of the way, I would like to ask any of you:

When falling asleep, whether you are attemping a WILD or not, do you notice a particular moment when the thoughts you are having become less like imagining, and more like the onset of a dream? Such as the loss of control you have over it.

I feel I have a 'wandering mind' and sometimes it is hard for me to notice when I have lost control and entered a dream. sometimes I am jolted awake when I feel my thought process has gone off on such a wild tangent, and often can't decide if I had control over it doing so.

Thanks
