Mark, welcome to Dream Views!

Dream diarys/journals are helpful in that they help strengthen your dream recall and will show you common dream signs that you can use to become lucid. If you are recalling fairly well one to two dreams per night, you should be able to have a LD without a dream diary and still be able to remember the experience!

You might want to review the Newbie Zone Guide for helpful information about this site: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=36723

You may also wish to check out the Tutorials forum which contains information on the various lucid dreaming techniques: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=25.

If you should have any questions, please ask and we'll do our best to get you answers!

Now that you found us .. may your journey towards lucid dreams begin!
