      Hello! This is my introduction, and I also have a question.

      My internet name is OUTC0ME, and I'm a 21 year old guy from Colorado, but have lived in New Jersey for about 4 years now. Because I grew up in Colorado, I have recurring dreams of my old house. I have also noticed that I dream about my job, and lots of random things as well! I have never had a LD, and about four months ago, I decided to start practicing several techniques. Writing down what I have been dreaming has been sort of a challenge for me, because I couldn't stick with it. I had small notes at first, but couldn't follow up with writing in the morning. Then, I tried a composition notebook, which led to the same problem after about ten days. I never dedicated myself to more than a dream journal, and I was already having problems. This led me to start looking into other techniques. After reading tons of information from this forum, I have learned lots more about LDs. A couple weeks ago, I downloaded the Lucidity app for my smartphone, which is perfect for me, since the first thing I do when I wake up is turn off my smartphone's alarm. After a couple weeks of the smartphone dream journal, I am noticing that the overall dreams are becoming more vivid, and I am writing down more details. I am really, truly committing to a dream journal at this point because of the early results. I have also had dreams with small or no details, and sometimes I haven't had anything to write down, but this does not discourage me. When I MILD, I put myself in my previous vivid dream and imagine becoming lucid, and I simultaneously think about a mantra as well. I try to give myself ten minutes of relaxing in bed before I start this. I'm really good at putting any worries or thoughts regarding other stuff aside while I go to bed, so I don't get distracted. My next task is practicing RCs, but it has been hard for me to do them, because I never truly question if I am dreaming or not. I could use more tips to help get in that mindset of not knowing! Also, After reading about All Day Awareness, I decided to give that a try. During a typical day for me, I will casually (not at any set time) observe my surroundings more in detail.

      I also have an unrelated question regarding music in dreams. I love music, and every chance I get to listen to music during the day, I take it! But what is weird to me is that I don't have any dreams where music becomes a noticeable part of the dream. I'll think about the music after I wake up and log it in my journal, but I can't remember when I heard it during the dream.

      That's all I have to write for now. I'll be sure to post my first LD, and if any other unanswered questions come to mind, I will be sure to ask them. Thanks for reading!

      Welcome to Dramviews, Outcome!

      Seems like you are on the right track. You may have noticed, that persistence and sticking with the plan, no matter how hard or inconvenient it is from the beginning, will pay off (dream journal).

      RCs - first you have to go on faith. Believe others when they say, that LDs can be as vivid and realistic as waking life itself. So right now, when you reading this, you have 1 in 10 chances, that you are dreaming. Wouldn't it be cool if some of your fantasy happened right now? A favorite actress walking through your door? Your personal spaceship landing outside your window? Tropical beach appearing behind you? I'm sure sometimes you daydream about "what if" cool things. Do the same when you question your reality while RCing. Believe for a moment, that you are in a dream and anything can happen. Get excited about it, because there is a good chance, that it's true. More about RCs in below link. Good luck and let us know if we can help with anything.
