Thread: Hello, What is it like to be lucid in a dream?

It's been a week since I've been trying to remember my dreams, but I can't remember my dreams well enough. When I get up in the morning, I couldn't recall my previous dream, like I slept through it all. IT's FRUSTRATING wanting to achieve your first LD, but I will still keep trying.
Would some one shed their wisdom on me? I already have a DJ. My Dreams are usually hazy and vague. I'll tell myself to remember my dreams, but any advice will help. Thanks in advance.

Any advice I have to give regarding dream recall is already in this thread. I think there's a tutorial on dream recall; you could try reading it. Other than that, just keep trying and you'll get it eventually. =) Some people pick up on dream recall right away (or just have good recall naturally), while others have to work a bit harder.

Last night, I tried to do a WILD, but failed. However, I did remember two dream fragments.

• One of them involved me sitting on stump reading a some kind of book at the backyard of my gramdmother's house...under the sea. I think there was a shark behind me.
• In one of my dreams, I was in a dimmed sky city with disoriented buildings.

That all I remember. I usually remember dream fragments than full-length dreams.

Keep A dream Journal, I guess you already have one so keep updating it.

Even if you remember a tiny part of your dream such as "I was at a store." write it down anyway, sometimes when I write a tiny part of my dream I remember more.

Do reality checks, sometimes give yourself a false "I'm in a dream." so you won't always think, "nope this is real" in a dream.

Drink Apple Juice, it may or may not help you. Some people say it makes you have more vivid dreams.

When you wake up try to wear a blindfold or something to cover your eyes, I can't remember the right word for it. I have heard that waking up in the dark can help you remember your dreams better than if you wake up in the light.

Those are some stuff I do, I haven't had too many lucid dreams and I am not an expert but I think some of the things I suggested might help.
