I'm sure you get quite a few threads like this, so i apologise in advanced.

I've always found dreams interesting, i've always had such vivid ones compared to people i know and been able to recall them pretty well. A while ago, about a year ago in fact, i was really into lucid dreaming, trying my hardest to achieve it (keeping the journal here, constantly asking myself if i was dreaming, noticing patterns when i was dreaming etc), but i never managed, nothing seemed to work and i gave up.

A couple of weeks ago it just happened, after being 11 months since i last even thought about lucid dreaming. It was a stupid and short dream, that Norris from Coronation Street picked me up outside my girlfriend's house in a helicopter, and while flying around the town we crashed. While crashing i just realised i was dreaming and woke up while says "this is a dream", and as i woke i was still in the middle of the word "dream".


So, i guess, what more can i do?

For the record i sometimes have trouble gettnig to sleep.
