don't feel like i need a new thread, and i wanted to share my progress (or the lack of)

since i tried to get back into it, i've only recalled a few dreams. Most of them were very loose recolections. In the last 4 days, i just remebmered 1 dream normally, and today woke up with a very, very faint memory of a dream.

I tried telling myself i'll wake up and remember my dream, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

I am getting discourages, especially since everyone around me remembers their dreams very naturaly and always tells me about it. I am the only one that's actually trying to get lucid, and i always have to explain it to people. Any pointers?
