      Question Greetings

      Hello, I am new here. My name is Jared, and I don't have much experience with lucid dreaming, but I figured someone could help me with a problem I've been experiencing.

      I'm not entirely sure if this is normal, but the only two times that I have successfully become lucid in a dream, the dream was very hazy. I kept sort of "clicking out" of it, if you will. It was like I would see static. Like the dream wasn't quite clear. Whenever I dream in general, I feel like I am not even aware that the dream is going on until AFTER I wake up. It's kind of frustrating. While the dream is going on, it's like it's being recorded for me to view later (upon waking up). Does anyone else have that problem, or know how to increase awareness during a dream?

      Any input is greatley appreciated! Thank you for your time.

      First off, let me be the first person to say 'Welcome to Dream Views!'

      Secondly, on to your questions. I assume you keep a Dream Journal? If you do not currently keep one, start. Tonight, if you can. A lot of the time, the haziness only appears due to poor recall. A Dream Journal can help recall quite signifigantly. If you're lucid, try shouting out something like 'Increase Clarity' (You have to BELIEVE that it will do something, or else you'll just be shouting meaningless words), or use one of the prolonging tricks, like rubbing your hands or spinning.

      As for the dreams being recorded for you to view later on, my normal dreams are usually like that too. Or rather, when I wake up, I know it was playing out before my eyes figurative), but I can only remember it, not remember being in it. Whenever I get into a semi-lucid dream (where I acknowledge I'm dreaming, and do nothing with that information. Technically, that's a LD, but I don't really count it as one, myself.) I find I remember it playing out before me instead of it being recorded.
