New Here, need help with Dream Recall

[yankeesfan28]

I discovered the wonderful world of lucid dreaming and I have had a few already, but they have not been very vivid. I have done everything I can to get another lucid dream: write in a dream journal, do reality checks, set the intention to have the lucid dream and everything else! I still can't remember my dreams. How do I improve on this?(BTW I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to recall my dreams, seeing as I am a student)

Squaddle pretty much said it all, but it might also help to write down that you want your dream recall to improve and don't stress about it (meditation helps with this). It may take time so if you don't see any improvement in a few days or even weeks just DON'T stress about it

Thanks... I am very impatient so i gotta fix that... and how do you meditate properly? I get anxious easily and I don't want that.

Thanks... I am very impatient so i gotta fix that... and how do you meditate properly? I get anxious easily and I don't want that. It is not hard... just get into a comfortable position preferably sitting down monk style if you're not planning to go to sleep. Close your eye, only think of your breath, in and out.. push aside any thoughts, it's fine if they come, just push them out, I find taht when I meditate I don't have much thoughts since I know I have no interest at the time other than meditating.

Thanks, that really seems to help... but I will have to see its full effects after tonight!
