I used to keep a dream journal! While it was a lot of work to force myself to scribble out everything I could remember whenever I woke up during the night or first thing in the morning, it was one of the most interesting things I have done. I found myself beginning to remember multiple dreams every night. After probably 100 entries I finally was able to realize when I was dreaming and become lucid, but I always woke up shortly afterwards. I was never able to gain control of my dreams or change things, but that was my goal. If I hadn't experienced it myself I don't' think I would have believe lucid dreaming was real. I stopped when work became busy and I wasn't getting enough sleep and needed to just focus on that. I should start again though. Have you ever had lucid dreams?
