Hi Doc- welcome back. And same here; trying to get back into LDing. A couple things that may help:

1) whenever you wake up in the night- make sure to take time to recall dream; be still with eyes closed (try not to fall asleep, of course). THEN get up and journal. Sometimes if you get up too quick you lose some of the dream.

2) Keep checking back on DV, read posts, make posts, just be active sometime before going to bed. It keeps lucid dreaming on your mind.

Good luck, oneironaut!
