Quick intro here,
To be honest I'm not too social a person. So I don't know how much I'll post here. I thought talking about it more would help move my dreaming along.

I've been trying to have more lucid dreams for a long time, but haven't had a more serious commitment to it until recently. My dream recall is way up, and in the last week I've tapped very closely to a lucid dream. Becoming lucid once for all of three seconds and a sort of pseudo-lucid dream. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but its where a part of me knows this is a dream, but I can't act on it, and the realization really doesn't hit home. I've had three or four in the past. And there are something I desperately want to do, that I can only do in these dreams.

I'm at a bit of a disadvantage because I work graveyard shift and if you don't know what that means, it means my sleeping schedule is screwed up bad. BAD. Its hard to sleep normally even with regular bed time. You sleep too much, too little (usual), constant interrupted sleep, stomach problems, energy problems ect. ect.

Currently, I've been typing out common signs of dreaming I have before I go to bed. Review it once or twice then try to sleep.
