Hello everyone, I am new here, and I am absolutely astounded by the idea of lucid dreams. I have read quite a few guides on the various techniques, but I am beginning to question my ability to actually do it. I have a few questions regarding the topic at this point in time, so I figure what better way to clear them up then to ask the pros?

1.) I have had no dreams, (that I can remember) within the past... month? Or so. This of course could be caused by multiple things such as though I was in Philmont Scout Ranch for 15 days and BSA Scout Camp for 7 this month. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is or how I can do it? Reading some of the guides here now, it would seem as though I have been having dreams, just I am unable to remember any of them once I wake up.

2.) I have read about reality checks, and it sounds quite simple, but the reality checks are associated with "DJ"'s, and I do not know what a DJ is >.>

3.) I read about WBTB and WILD and DILD, and a few others, and read one great post about WILD while being awake, at any time during the day, and is there any way to do this? I read about this, and it was basically the same as a normal WILD, just not sleeping, so I am still mildly confused about this.

Thank you very much in advance for answering some if not all of these questions. Thanks,

Geeome.

Edit: I looked some more, and found DJ = Dream Journal, which I will start today if I somehow remember a dream that I have xD
