Being able to recall dreams more strongly allows you to lucid dream more frequently. Write down anything you remember -- it all helps, no matter how spotty. Pictures help too.
    I can vouch for this.

    I saw a mention of lucid dreaming some place. I didn't know what it was, but when I got on this website about the different ways to dream lucidly, I was deeply infatuated. I kind of started some of the things it suggested.

    I never got in the habit of reality-checking, but I still journal my dreams from time to time. It's exciting to remember the details. But it definitely does more. After I began journaling I became aware of the dreams I was having EVERY night. I even started to remember really old dreams that occurred maybe 1, 2 or possibly 3 years ago. The order in which I remembered them were so random, and the subject matter complied as well- I remember my only flying dream I thought I had forgotten long ago; some dream where I was in some barn climbing up hay, then opened a door to an arena; a dream where almost all of my friends were in a spacious room with this new shocking toy we were all trying out; and even more. Once occurance: I wrote about a dream the day after I had it; the same night, I remembered two dreams that didn't seem to have connection and which happened at two very separate times long ago. I thought about it more, then realized they all took place in the same non-existent neighborhood that I can still draw from my head.
    I only journal sparsely now, but after reading this thread I want to do it again.

    So far I've only ever had one lucid dream; it started out not being lucid. I was in some man's house. He locked me in a room with concrete all around, one door, and one bed. I was terrified. I don't remember what exactly happened, but somehow the scene shifted to a friend's house, with that friend standing with me in his kitchen. It was then that I realized I was dreaming. The first thing that I did after that was make out with him. bahaha

    Anyway, thank you MrRubix, for bringing this up to me again.

      I'd say I'm sorta a lucid dreamer. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes not.

      Weird thing: I've tried "flying" in my dreams before and 100% of the time I'll just keep floating up and wake up because I'm scared of heights. :P
