Ok first night I had my first lucid dream. It was a false awakening until I realized there was something wrong with this picture. When I looked out side the window and I saw something wrong. I noticed I was dreaming. I forgot to stabilize what was going on then I woke up. How can I keep my self more aware and let my self know I am dreaming in a dream? I know you have to keep a dream journal but what can you do to realize that your dreaming? Most of the times I'm in my own little world in a dream and I can't remember to find the elements to know that I'm dreaming.

It's like my dreams tell me that I am awake during a dream. I am tired of this. I remember one night I had a dream. I was living in a house that had leveling problems with my parents. The house kept moving slowly back and forth and it kept on making creaking noises or what ever. That was the best time to know I was dreaming. But most of the times when I'm at odd places in dreams I am thinking I am awake. I can't tell my self that I am dreaming. It's like I'm watching a reality show on TV. But I'm actually there.

What can I do to keep my self more aware that I'm dreaming? And sometimes when dream characters tell me I'm dreaming. I never become Lucid. What can I do to make things more easier? I can't keep a dream journal right now because I don't have any money to get a notebook. And I don't have my own computer to type down my dreams.
