Few days ago while browsing through threads from all kinds of things I stumbled upon a post where people were discussing their dreams and especially those 'lucid' ones. "Is it really possible to remember and actually control your dreams". I thought that dreams were always what they were for me, tiny fragments seen a couple of times in a month. Now after reading through numerous posts and articles about lucid dreaming in the past two days (mostly on this site) I think I have found my own hidden interest. In fact I never have felt such excitement and motivation for learning something. I have always been secretly interested in dreams but I never have been looking for any knowledge about them. But now here I am, looking for help and guidance.

I've started practicing all day awareness and reality checks and started to keep a dream journal. The awareness thing isn't that hard for me (assuming I have understood what it really means) but RCs (and 'questioning reality') won't happen so easily. I suppose those things are essential for lucid dreams but currently my dream recall is poor. Usually I never remembered my dreams but after really trying for the first time I could remember as much (or few) as 4 fragments each lasting only few minutes. I have no idea if that is bad or good for a complete newbie. At least writing them down took more than an hour in the morning (so much details or so bad writer...).
For learning I can use as much as 99% of my time if necessary as I don't have almost any obligations in the coming 2 months. I truly hope that 2 months is enough to have at least my first lucid dream.

I suppose that will do for an introduction. I just decided to write why I am here and what is my 'starting condition'. I would have so many other things to add and ask but I'm terrible at writing things on paper/screen (especially in English). So apologies for my poor English and clumsiness as this really is my first post ever on any site (how were I able to avoid that so long...). Please comment if I forgot to tell something essential.
