I just started learning about how to lucid dream yesterday (!) - I'm a total noob. I know the first step is to learn how to remember your dreams. When I was younger, I'd remembered my dreams all the time but in the past 10 years or so, that faded and I barely ever remember them now.

Last night though, I told myself repeatedly while in bed, that I would remember my dreams and I put a journal by my bed. I didn't think I'd be able to wake up to record the dream so I set my alarm for 4.5 hours after I went to bed BUT I didn't even have to use it! During the night, I woke up 3 different times after having 3 dreams that I remembered and then wrote down. I don't think I've ever remembered 3 dreams in one night! I'm going to try it again tonight.

My dreams last night were pretty boring but I'm going to keep doing this for a few weeks to really get used to it before I try anything else. Anyways, had to share because I was pretty surprised that this worked!
