Have been trying for months...
Hey DV!
I have been loosely interested in Lucid Dreaming (and dreaming in general) for years, I enjoy reading people's journals etc. For few months I have been trying to attain lucidity myself, without any luck unfortunately :(
My dreams aren't vivid at all, they are very blur and random. I've never had situation when my dream would be so real that I would confuse it with actual reality. So yes, I'm aware that I'm dreaming, but it's far from getting control and the lucidity itself. I could say that dreams feel very inconvinient for me, everything is so fast and changes all the time.
I have Dream Journal, but I'm not really that good in recalling dreams. I usually recall 3 or 4 dreams, but can only describe the last one with details. The rest of them is basically what the dream was about, no details, because I don't remember any of them. I'm not even sure if it wasn't just a one dream that was constantly changing.
I tried WILDing and WBTB. I couldn't put myself in sleep paralysis though. One night I lied on my back in bed for about an hour, clearing my mind and doing all stuff that WILD tutorials tell you about, until it became too uncomfortable and I changed the position to finally get some sleep. I had, however, some progress on WBTB. I started waking up after REM phases, 3 or 4 times a night by drinking water before sleep.
Can you help me DreamViews? Can I improve "clairty" of my dreams somehow? I think this is the only thing that really holds me back... apart from bad recall, but I'm working on it. Can I do anything else to finally get a LD?
