Hello World.
I guess I am starting with dream recall and then hopefully moving onto lucid experiences. For the record, I started this journey on December 12th, 2005. I began with just a slight knowledge of the existence of Lucid Dreaming but have never tried dream recall or tried to induce a lucid experience. Growing up I have had experiences like this but they are very few and far between, just glimpses of memories now. I do remember that at one time I was able to fly and that occasionally I have been falling and realized halfway down that I am in a dream and the fall would not hurt or kill me. None of this was ever induced in any way nor did I have any knowledge of lucidity at the time. So, I am excited about this and will try to keep up with it.
I started a journal

if anyone is interested. I will just use it to keep tabs on where I am in my journey.
I will just repost my first entry in there to let everyone know where I am at. I am very excited.
I do have 2 questions.Quote:

Wow, this dream journal stuff works. I set my alarm a few times during the night. Once at 1AM then at 2:50AM. I was trying to catch myself in the REM period. I also kept a notebook and pen next to my bed. After 1 night, I have 4 dreams written down.
I will not actually post my dreams here, but short descriptions and things I noticed. The only way I will transfer what I have already written down is if someone actually cares about reading them. So here we go.
The first one was really short.
The second and third ones could be the same dream but in different places.
The fourth was a little longer.
I remember a few details, dream characters, and events. I also remember in my third dream asking myself if I was dreaming (actually, hoping I was dreaming) because something embarrasing happened, but I went straight back into the dream, accepting it as reality.
I am amazed that I can recall 4 dreams. I guess concentrating on recalling them as I went to sleep each time really helped.
I will try again tonight and see how I go again.
Good Luck all you dreamers.
1) Am I starting ahead of curve?
2) Do I need to set my alarm to wake up after each period to remember the previous dreams or will I be able to eventually wake up remembering all the dreams I had that night?
