Hi, I'm not really new to the forum, i'm pretty much just a lurker. I have been into lucid dreaming for about a week and I had my first lucid one two days ago. I have some questions that I need answered that I have wondered about during my adventure.

1. Ever since I was very little I was always able to become lucid during a nightmare and wake myself up. I've come to realize the easiest dreams for me to become lucid in are nightmares, why is that?

2. I've started keeping a DJ and been trying to get stuff in it everynight, however i get a bit frustrated when i cannot recall any of my dreams from last night because how can i improve my dream recall when i can't put anything in it.

3. I tried Wilding last night and i feel that i was extremely close to having an LD. I entered SP and lights started flashing like crazy. Then it got really wierd because my body got all twitchy and my eyes started flicking rapidly. Is this the final stage of Wild? And also i usually need to swallow during a Wild attempt, can i do that?

I'll post more if i can think of any. Thanks for any of the help you can provide.
