Hey everybody! Good to meet you

I guess I can't really recall ever having a lucid dream before. I've done a pretty good amount of research about it though, and it sounds really awesome. I've already got a bucket list , although I apologize if I'm getting ahead of myself... Once I get my technique down, I'd really like to use lucid dreaming to talk to the characters of the books I'm writing, get to know them and see them in person. Maybe that's weird? I just think it would be good for inspiration and stuff.

But anyhow, I started a dream journal back in January, but I kind of abandoned it after a few days... I'll have you know I don't really have too many dreams (either that or I just don't remember them). But I started recording my dreams again just last week, the ones I could remember. I have to tell you, it's been getting easier, and I actually feel like I'm having more dreams (or remembering more), like the recording them helped somehow... Sure they weren't lucid, but I guess it's an improvement.

Another reason I joined here is because I don't know anybody that shares this interest. I guess it would be good to have a community, support I guess. It'd be cool to have some LDing friends

Anyway, I do have one question: what method would you recommend for a beginner like myself? Thanks
