I think I have decent dream recall though. I can usually remember 2 dreams a night. When I tell myself to wake up after dreams and write them down I think I remember them and then I don't bother to write them down. Then, in the morning they are hazy and undetailed.

Also, I remember now a while back I woke up and thought my brother was shaking me by the collar and I felt like I was sinking down into the bed. This was the hypnogogic state right?

2nd edit, haha. I just recalled that I recently heard the song "Silent Lucidity" by "Queensryche" which is a song about lucid dreaming and it's benefits. Anyway I then realised that this song was not on my playlist and when I think back I was listening to it in a dream. This seems promising to me. Too bad that didn't clue me in to the fact that I was dreaming.
