Hey Gobucs and welcome, you should definately look at the tutorials...however a certain method is preferred for beginners and these are: DILD...Dream-Incduced-Lucid-Dream. (where you realise you are dreaming, in a dream) Try to read all you can about "reality checking" (the basic practice of DILDing). I suggest you read ALL the content on www.dreamviews.com (the articles, with links in the margin on the left). This will give a good idea of where to start. Any questions? (sorry this was brief)

thanks! do you have any advice on how to have dreams? or to remember them? because as far as i know i dont dream often at all, only twice or three times a month on average probably.

(of course depending on hwo long you sleep) keep a dream journal and ont he rare instances that you remember yoru dream, write it down before falling asleep again also, sleep for longer periods of time... you dream more and have longer dreams which you might remember more look around, im sure other ppl haev advice as well!

Hi gobucs! With a dream journal all you need to do is wake up and write down anything you can remember from your dreams. It can be anything from events, characters, themes and even emotions. After a while your recall should improve. You should even notice reoccurring events which are dream signs. You can use reality checks with these events to help you become lucid.
