I realized that I haven't lucid dreaming.

I wasn't able to *consciously* take part in it, but I could see that I was peforming actions/thinking, everything was real-time and I was in the reality. But I'm still a bit confused. Reading the DJ on the forum is kind of similar to what I experience, but for example I haven't been able to willfully fly in my dream.

The techniques to become lucid seem hard to get. Before I went to sleep I told myself I would know that I am dreaming, but it did not occur (but it was only the first time I realize that it might take a while). But will doing this really make a difference?
Oh, that is okay, really. Just keep trying and you'll get it!
The answer to that is if you really believe you can. You can even ask yourself that question in real time, if you must (I do it all the time).
