Okay hi everyone, I'm new here but have always been fascinated by lucid dreaming and have had my share lucid dreams. I don't have trouble with dream recall but I certainly do have trouble writing in my dream journal at night. My hubby's snoring is my dream alarm, which seems to work because I wake up at precisely three stages of REM sleep during the night where I have a new dream in each stage. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that I wake up and my husband just happens to be snoring. Anyway, my problem lies in not being able to stay up long enough or even want to stay up long enough to write down my dreams. I do keep a scribble pad close to my bed where in the dark I write like three key words regarding the dream I had, although I know the ideal thing would be to write more but just writing those three or four key words is a struggle in itself! My body does not want to get up or even give it time. Then when I wake up in the morning I don't want to write in the journal either because I'm too groggy. So I wait to get to work to open my dream journal and elaborate on those three or four key words I wrote down at night and the memory comes flooding back of what my dream was about. The thing is, the dream where the memory is most vivid is that last dream...the one that was the longest. Would this be enough for me to be able to have lucid dreams? I didn't even have a dream journal before and my dream recall has improved, but is it enough to induce lucid dreams?
