I'm completely brand new to lucid dreaming..... I have always thought it was a crazy idea even when i was very young i knew about it, however always thought it would be impossible for me as i am a very very deep sleeper.... thought about trying to train myself starting today cuz i really wanna have a lucid dream so i joined the forum.... knowing myself the method that sounds the EASIEST for me, is the finger induced one where you pretend like you're playing the piano and then do a reality check after a minute or so....

any tips.?
any articles you think i should read?

do you have to start a dream journal?
what happens if i start a dream journal and wake up forgetting all my dreams?

help is appreciated i am going to check back up on here before i go to bed to see how people respond

thanks,
Jacob
