      Have you been trying any methods? WILD, WBTB, etc. If not, give them a try. It will come to you, eventually.

      When you're dreaming do you realize that you're dreaming. If so trying acting out on it. Either vocally or action wise.
      "“Evil? Good? These are merely words. In the eyes of the universe neither of those exist. There are only three elements, that act as a base for all that you see around. There is Light. There is Dark. And there is the balance between those two. Good and Evil are concepts,used to deny oneself from serving the balance. By serving, you participate in the great creation."

      It takes a while for the RC's to become regular and happen in a dream, it took me a few months.

      Who knows, these are just my experiences.

      Sometimes it takes a while, but stay with it. It's worth it, I promise.

      Sorry to say, but dream recall is only the first step in having good lucid dreams.
      The next is to increase your awareness in the dream, so you're going to have to experiment with different techniques. Most people go with dreamsigns and reality checks (RCs)

      If you train for having dream signs and doing reality checks, you have to do it long enough that it becomes a habit that you do instinctively. Only then will it happen in your dreams.

      A big mistake that newbies (to LDing) make is to just 'do RCs when something wierd happens'
      That doesn't work!
      Why? Because in a dream, flying pink elephants seem completely normal to you.
      You need to train yourself to do RCs on more specific dream signs.

      Good luck

      No i never do, thats kinda frustrating when I wake up and realize it was so clear that i was dreaming. But when im actually dreaming i never question the fact that im dreaming.

      I think once you have better recal, and you can experience more vivid dreams, then you can say you are getting closer. One technique which is quite popular is 'wake back to bed' (WBTB) - this involves you waking up for a period of time, then going back to bed to sleep - when I do this I stay awake for just 5-10 minutes and have great success with it. Others stay awake for 30-60 minutes, maybe longer.

      Anyhoo, good luck

      Adam.
