There you go! Incidentally, it gets interesting approaching things from the other direction as well and learning to bring waking life memories into lucid dreams. It's interesting that you can chip away at the wall in either direction. Recalling waking life memories from a dream feels surprisingly similar to trying to remember a dream when we've first woken up. What that means I'll leave as a question for the philosophers!

By the way, recall of waking life memories is a frequent theme of the DreamViews "Task of the Month", which are in-dream challenges that dreamers on the forum try to complete for extra motivation and fun. Once you start feeling pretty comfortable with lucid dreaming, I highly recommend this as a great way to sharpen your skills: http://www.dreamviews.com/task-month...ch-2013-a.html

I started these Tasks of the Month well before I was much good at lucid dreaming, and it didn't do me any permanent damage.

I have no doubt that you will! I learn a ton from discussing techniques, experiences and ideas with all of the dreamers on this site. You are actually coming to the DreamViews a good bit more experienced than I was when I joined, so I'll be shamelessly stealing all of your LDing tricks in no time.
