Hi ToadKings, glad you stopped by. I congradulate your choice to invest more effort in the spiritual and lucid dreaming!

Let me see if I can answer a few questions:


Where do you suggest someone who is looking to get back into lucid dreaming start?
Start with your dream journal and reality checks. It sounds to me like you are already doing this though. Please browse around the tutorial section as well and be sure to ask any questions you might have.


Should I be waking up in the middle of the right to record my dream or do it in the morning?
Log your dreams whenever you wake up. You don't need to force yourself to wake up, but if you do in the middle of the night, it's better to write them down then, few people remember them by morning.


Should I first build up my dream journal and dream recall before even attempting a lucid dream?
Absolutely not!!!! Begin now!


What is the best method to assure that I remeber my dreams?
Your dream journal is probably one of the best methods to increase dream recall. One thought is to keep a tape recorder by your bed and speak a few key items into it about your dream when you wake. You will be suprised how much you can recall the next day with just a few hints. When you have time later, write down as much detail as you can about the dream.

Good luck and I hope for your lucidity to return tonight!
