Hi. I'm completely new to the idea of Lucid Dreaming; I've suffered from lots of bad nights of sleep recently, and as I'm starting to get better from it I decided I may as well try to remember and control what I'm actually thinking about when sleeping


I'm struggling a bit with building up dream recall. What seems odd is some nights I can remember 1 or 2 dreams quite clearly without much effort, whereas other nights I can't remember anything but a couple of fragments. Are there any good ways to try and improve this? I've read somewhere that cheese or milk just before bed sometimes help create vivid dreams; I've tried this and did get a fairly detailed dream afterwards. Was this just a coincidence or is there actually some truth in this?


I've started sporadically doing RCs throughout the day. I don't remember to do them very often though; I think I'm going to try the technique where you RC whenever you see a particular sign (not quite sure what that is called). I haven't had any success in RCing in my dreams yet though.


Does dream recall improve after practise at it? I want to know why the difficulty of remembering dreams varies so much from night to night.

THanks
