Let me introduce myself, my name is Matt, I come from NSW, Australia, and just found this website yesterday after being showed by a member on a skateboard forum called Casualtie, who is also a member on here. So after seeing and reading about this yesterday I was keen to start! So I read I needed to develop my dream recall, and started doing RL's for the rest of the day anyway. When I went to bed I organised a dream journal next to my bed and went to sleep. I woke up a few times during the night and recorded my dreams. All up I had 3 dreams which I remembered perfectly. I was amazed, I never remember dreams, beforehand I was lucky to remember one! I suppose thinking about dreaming before I went to sleep helped alot! Anyways, I started an online journal on this site here in the Journal Forum. Now, how many dreams a night should I be remembering well before I try a lucid dream? And when I dream, I like dont remember being in the dream or feeling the dream or controlling it or anything, but when I wake up I remember exactly what happened in it... its strange because its sort of like remembering watching a movie or something. Anyway, what do I do next? Ill keep developing my dream recall, but for how long? And when can i try a LD and how do i try it? because when i dream nowi have no control or anything so i dont know how id try a reality check. arrggh it seems havin an LD will be really hard! i would of tried a RL last night ig i cud of but its not like im in the dream, grr so hard to explain
