It's been a while since I last made a post here, School, and social life mainly got in the way.
I pretty much stopped lucid dreaming after having a partial LD, feeling as if I gave this whole hobby justice.

Well I didn't.

I've started again to try and nail this once and for all. I finally have a stable environment, job, house, sleeping pattern etc etc.
But my dream recall is not improving as it once did.

When I first started around two years ago, My dream recall started skyrocketing in a weeks time. I went from fragments to full blown pages filled with dreamy goodness.
I remember it actually being a pain because I had school in the morning, and I simply couldn't waste time writing down the dreams in full detail.

But now as I'm trying again, I'm finding that my dream recall is pathetic, and barely improving, if improving at all.
I've been doing the mantras like "I will remember my dream" and such, and truly believing I will remember them.

I've even started limiting myself to midnight every night, Even weekends, Which is difficult to say the least.

As for the journal, I've gone to great lengths to make it subconsciously special in my mind, Getting a nice leather backed book, and even an online lucid dreaming tracking spreadsheet to help
(Link if anyone is interested https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing)

Obviously I will improve with time in some form or another, But I would like a second take on this situation. Perhaps I'm trying to hard to remember? Maybe I'm missing something completely?

Cheers.
