Hi

I'm new here and new to lucid dreaming. I've started a journal and I'm quite fascinated by everything I've been remembering now that I'm more aware of my dreaming. I still haven't become lucid but I'm looking forward to everything that comes with achieving it.

I was wondering about what I could do to recall my dreams in more detail. Usually I can't force myself awake at night after a dream. So far all of my dreams come to me shortly after I wake up and after I have concluded that I forgot them. I think I would be able to record more complete dreams if I could try waking up afterwards. What could I try?
