Set yourself little goals. I used to have the same problem, so I'd do things like "I can have chocolate today if I write down the dreams when I wake up". |

I've been interested in lucid dreaming and just basic dream recall for the past maybe week or two? Anyways, I have a notepad and pencil right near my bed for whenever I wake up and remember a dream. Unfortunately, whenever I do have a dream, when I wake up I just say forget it and I just lie in bed 'till I fall asleep again. When I wake up in the morning I want to kick myself. How do I beat the urge to just fall asleep again instead of writing the dream down? |

Little problem with that. I'm trying to lose some weight this summer, and well, everything I like is against that, whether it's eating chocolate/ice cream or whatever or playing games. |

Maybe you could employ an everything in moderation tactic? You're much more likely to succeed with losing weight if you don't lock yourself away from the things you like. |

Ok, well when you wake just keep that pencil or pen by the bed and just write down the tiniest detail which is bound to trigger you to remember the rest of the dream when you look at it when waking. I think that rewarding like Alex said could work but at the end of the day its up to you is it not, if your serious enough about lucid dreaming you will remember to write something down, just tell yourself before bed that when you next wake you will write down what you remember. |

My advice, from personal decisions: relax. |

"If I do not write my dreams, then I will eat chocolates, ice cream and play videogames today" |
