I haven't had a lucid dream in awhile. I think mainly because of school, and being so tired.. I'm way too deep of a sleep to even recall my dreams.

But, I suddenly became interested in it again, and wanted to try it out. I'm trying the technique of asking myself "Am I dreaming?" in my wakening life, and checking the clock.

So, I kept having dreams, and forgetting to check the clock. Finally, I have a dream, and I just pause "Wait, I'm dreaming." And I check the clock, which changes. So I spun around for good measure, to make sure I stayed alseep...and then decided to see if I could manipulate things, and try to make my father disappear ((who I was having a fight with in the dream)), so I say "Poof, you're gone!"...he laughed at me! LOL! The one dream I'm lucid in, I can't even manipulate anything ((which is my goal, intentionally..b/c I'm use to lucid dreams..nothing new, it's manipulating them that I'm interested in.))

Eh, better luck next time. I should stop trying so hard anyways. Maybe scrap the whole 'Am I dreaming?' technique altogether, since I seem to be successful without even trying in the past.
