This is my first post to this forum. I have been practicing LD for the past two weeks now with mixed results. Last week, I had 4 LDs in a row, but nothing really since then. I have vivid dreams (especially when I take 200mg of B6 before bed and don't have too much to drink) and my recall is great. During the LD experiences I've had so far, my attempts at dream control have been very promising for a beginner. At this point, I don't so much try to control the dream, but rather walk freely within where-ever the dream takes me. I'm learning to recognize when my dream activity is starting to wake me up and I hold back until either the feeling passes, or I do in fact wake up.

My main problem is realizing that I am in the dream in the first place. I have been doing daily RCs. They used to work for me but I've had no luck in close to a week now. No matter how fantastic my dreams have become, and they are very bizarre (example: last night King Kong chased me repeatedly through a hotel lobby, ripping up the building as it went, and that was before I encountered the younger self of Jon Stewart and Eugene Levy) and it doesn't occur to me that I am dreaming. I'm aware that it takes weeks, maybe months, before the subconscious becomes accustomed to doing RCs, it's just a little odd that I was doing it regularly at first, but stopped doing it the more I worked at it.

Does anybody have any good tips for this?
