Thread: Awfully new, and awfully lazy - Hello!

Hi, stumbled upon this site yesterday, and lucid dreaming seems very interesting - Naturally, I want to try it out

So, what's step one? Em I supposed to make reality checking a habit, so that I might do it while asleep, and thus realising that it's not normal with voices and light coming from under the sofa?
And how should I practise my ability to recall dreams? I pieced together as much as I could from the dreams I had this morning and wrote it down, as detailed as possible - The beginning of a dream journal.

Good so far?

I would really appreciate tips and tricks from you more experienced people, since, well... The things I've read on this site just seems awesome.

Oh, and how real does a lucid dream feel, when you're "having it at max"? I guess it varies depending on how skilled you are, but is it practically like when you're awake, minus the omnipotency and of course diminished senses? Can you think rational? Or is that what we're supposed to strive for?
It's nothing but a fantasy created by you, after all.
