LOL!! It's great isn't it?!

welcome to dv

Hello Vivi89 and a BIG WELCOME.
I will add to the sound advice already given.
Start a dream journal and fill it in religiously with as much detail as you can, even if its 2am in the morning. This will improve your dream recall. Combine this with doing regular reality checks all the time and you will eventually do one during a dream and become Lucid AGAIN. Once you have formed these two tasks into habits you will be able to work on dream control.

You have already been lucid and know what an incredible experience it is. Now you need to learn the skills required to initiate and maintain an LD and enter the infinite world of your mind.

Have fun and enjoy. Good luck and again, Welcome.

Wow. SO as i said earlier, I hardly EVER remember my dreams. Last nite however, i told myself before going to bed to remember them. Lo and behold, i remember 2 dreams, about as many as i normally remember in a few months! The subconcious brain is an incredible thing...

Yes and he same thing happens with lucid dreams, tell yourself to have one before bed and then you have a good shot at getting one. I remember reading about some technique and something about when you wake up in the middle of the night to just quickly tell yourself you want to have an LD. I was pretty skeptical about how well this would actually work but then one night I woke up in the middle of the night and told myself I wanted an LD and BAM my dry spell ended. BTW welcome to DreamViews

Thats awesome! I can't wait until i get to that level...sounds like a LD is quite an interesting experience. I'm glad you got over your dry spell
