Hello, my name is Edward and I am 16 years old. I am a junior in high school. I have recently just got into lucid dreaming; its been about a month. I haven't tried to lucid dream yet, I have been doing reality checks but haven't performed one in my dream. My recall has improved greatly, in the beginning I was only able to fill about 1/4 of a page . I can fill the whole page now, there was even one time when I filled four pages from just one dream. For my first month I have just been trying to build my recall and get into a constant sleep cycle. One problem is that I can recall a dream but I don't ever remember being present or aware; I just have the memories of the dream. I don't know if you only get that when you LD or you can experience that without an LD. Looking forward to your replies.
