Hello all! I have been interested in dreams since childhood. However, back then it was more of a trap rather than a blessing. I believe I have had lucid dreams as a child, but i was always worried with getting out and not suffocating.

Now, I am getting back into the dream scene. As of the last three days, I have been keeping a dream journal. As I don't have enough money for a voice recorder, I have been using my Flip to record my voice, and then I would transcribe them later on in the morning. I have found out through my journal that I am going through 2-3 REM cycles per night, and I am not waking up in between them. So, I remember small fragments of the first dream, a good portion of the second, and for some reason, small bits of the last one.

So in order to record my dreams to my fullest ability, I'm guessing I need to train myself to wake up in the rem cycle.

So, is there anything I can learn? Any advice? When it comes right down to it, I don't know squat. I am sort of going into this to get lucid, but also to get more ideas for my book. Dreams are full of ideas after all, it is my brain. Also, I feel as though I need to flesh out my characters, so I would love to have a conversation any one with them.

Love and peace!
