Hello. I am new here, my first post. I have wanted to LD for a long time, and have been working on it for the past 4 days or so. I have been working on dream recall currently, trying to use a dream journal, etc.

Last night was the first night that I remembered enough of my dream after I awoke that I could write down a short paragraph. I remember it still now, (the next night). It wasn't anything really weird, just me being a ninja, hunting somebody, lol. I don't really remember the dream clearly, just an idea of what happened.

My real question is, WHEN should I try to go into lucidity. Can I start that now, or should I make my dream recall much better before even bothering?

Thanks for the help,
ER
