Hi, I'm new to the forum. I first found this site about a week ago, when I was reading about dreaming. Either way, I thought I'd share some of my first thoughts.

Now that I've begun to concentrate on dream recall, I can generally remember parts or all of a dream each night, apart from one in the past week, which i'm quite impressed with on my first few attempts. Even so, I had a lucid dream about 3 nights ago, where someone looked really weird and I just realised "hey, I'm dreaming". I tried not to get too excited, and don't recall much after that (I'm still working on dream recall), but I THINK I might have tried to control something and failed, I'm not exactly sure. Either way, it's a step forward and I scribbled it down in my journal all the same when I woke. Hopefully within a week or two i should start getting more consistent at complete dream recall, by any means.

Those are just a few thoughts on my part.
