I havent started a dream journal yet, my question is should I stop trying to LD and just focus on recording my dreams for a while before attempting again? Or should I keep trying to LD while recording my dreams?

That really depends on your dream recall ability. There are two main goals in keeping a dream journal (DJ).

1. Keeping a DJ helps your dream recall improve because you are training yourself to remember what goes on while you sleep.
2. Keeping a DJ helps you recognize your dreamsigns and helps assist you in achieving a Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD).

Of course you can attempt to have a LD before you start a DJ. The only problem is this: If you don't have a good recall, you may have a LD and not even remember it. We don't want that to happen. Most of all, don't get discouraged because confidence is very important in your success.

Edit: And, welcome to DreamViews all three of you! Glad to have you around. Good luck.
