Newbie...yup

Hi, I came across this site half a year ago and every now and then I decided to come back and read some of the things here. Attaining lucidity was never really much of a problem for me. But lately (in the past couple of months) I've been having trouble: not a single good lucid dream. I decided that registering on the forums here and starting a dream journal would be the best things to do to get back on track. So I look forward to talking with everyone here. :) Also I have one question. When I said good lucid dreams, I meant a lucid dream that felt real. In the past 2 months I have had a couple of lucid dreams that I did not immediatly wake up from, however, they felt very fake. I could feel my bed the entire time, and the whole dream seemed washed out, as though I was just thinking of it in my head. But I do believe that I was dreaming. Does anybody know what caused this?

Welcome to DV :)

I had that happen when in a LD you can feel the bed, ruined it for me as well but that was a one-off for me. You seem to know what you are doing with the dream journal so thats good. Have you been doing reality checks though?

Anyway good luck and I hope to see you around :content:

Eh for reality check's I usually don't remember to do them, but every now and then I'll try to put my hand through the moniter or check the clocks. Only problem is in most of my dream's there aren't any clocks or computers. :| And thanks for the welcome.

If you have a digital watch make the alarm go off every hour, that should remind. Also try putting your finger through your hand, thats what I do and it works for me.

Hope that helps :wink:
