Hello!

Hello! I've been amazed by the topic of lucid dreaming for about a year, I even read Dr. Stephen LaBerge's book: The World of Lucid Dreaming, however, I still have not yet had a lucid dream! Anyways, lately I've gotten really good at consistently doing things in my life because I learned a little trick called detaching yourself from the results. Basically, you keep a routine and make a habit out of it, but to keep at something I stop thinking so much about it and just do it. I stop stressing over the results in the short term and just keep at it because I trust that the results will follow. So I wanted to start keeping a dream journal and performing reality checks again. I also thought I'd join a forum on it cause forums have helped me stay consistent in other things too. Here's my approach. Write in my dream journal every morning and perform reality checks every time I notice myself sit down somewhere. Sitting down is my cue to performing a reality check so that I do it every time I sit down in a dream. My reality check is looking at my hands, studying them mindfully and counting the fingers on each hand. I also have been practicing mindful meditation for 30 minutes every morning. I'm hoping this approach works. I'm not gonna do MILD or FILD or anything like that because I don't like to interrupt my sleep (I need it since I am about to have college classes early in the morning and I exercise and play a lot of sports), so the results may take longer but that is okay with me. Thanks for reading, let me know if you have any other suggestions towards my approach!
