Hello ^^ I've just found this forum coincidentally while searching for if dreamcatchers prevent from lucid dreaming or even from dreaming, obviously they are not, and I'm happy to find this place. I tried to do lucid dreaming before, approximately a year ago, but I didn't put my mind into it enough and it wasn't successful, but the idea of it stuck in my mind. So I started to work for it again two weeks ago, I've still not had a lucid dream, but I'm hopeful I'm reading Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge, keeping a dream journal and making the exercises in this book (finding dreamsigns, awareness exercises etc.) This forum will surely help me alongside with the book, thank you for your help beforehand. Also I'm from Turkey, and I'm a translator (I'm doing translations from Turkish to English and English to Turkish), but I still tend to make grammar mistakes, so I apologize for all those mistakes in advance
