Hello everyone!

I'm Luuk or LHG, an 18 year old kid from the Netherlands.

The first time i've learned about lucid dreaming was about 2/3 years ago trough something and i tried it out for no longer than a month with little results. Because i switched studies this year i have a lot of free time and not enough hobbies/work to fill all the hours and i want to give lucid dreaming a serious go.

I knew about this site from my previous endeavor and started reading up again. After making my introduction thread i was directed here.
I have been recording my dreams in a journal for the past week and while i still dont remember a whole lot it's better than it was.
Something i already know is that i have to give up weed because it makes me remember nothing.

Because of my free schedule i have been WBTB'ing every day(after 4,5 hours of sleep) but i havent had an lucid dream yet.
I also have been doing rc's and at random points just stop and wonder about if i could be dreaming. I try to always rc when something weird or out of the ordinary happens.

The reality checks is use are :
  • Looking at hands
  • Looking at a digital clock
  • Breathing trough nose


An issue i have so far is just not falling asleep, it takes atleast 30 minutes even when i wbtb.
I think for now i need to improve both my recall and awareness before even thinking about dream control.
Trying to atleast update this tread once every few days but i might just do it daily.
Thank you guys for reading!
