All this sounds awesome, unfortunately I have some trouble remembering dreams.

I had read about this a while ago, and had tried to remember my dreams, without success. I seem to be only able to remember dreams where I am semi-lucid (I believe thats where I am aware it is a dream, yet still canot make great changes)
I have gotten a few lucid dreams, but I have woken up from excitment, and I get either a semi-lucid or lucid dream every month or so...

I first have a few questions:
1. I cannot set an alarm clock to ring at REM times because the walls are pretty thin at my house and I would not like to wake up anyone else. Is there a way I could program my brain to wake up at those times?
2. What is a WILD dream?
3. I usually take an hour or more to fall asleep. Not because i'm stressed, but i get so pumped about all those ambitious projects I'm doing outside of school or I just like to think about girls . This means I mostly forget to tell myself to remember my dreams before i fall asleep. IS there a way I can fall asleep quicker?

Thanks a lot, this community looks like it might teach me a whole lot.
