Day Dream = Awake
Lucid Dream = Asleep but aware that you are in a dream
To help, I suggest a short meditation session every day, maybe only 5 minutes. There are hundreds of ways to meditate, find one way that takes your mind from any stress of the day and continue to try it out for a week or so.
Before you go to bed each night try one of the many techniques posted on this site. Keep a dream diary and go to bed with the intention of remembering your dream. When you wake up, do nothing more than lie there for maybe 5 minutes trying to recall any small detail, if any that you can remember from your dreams. If something comes to mind, no matter how small it seems, write it down. Get into the habit of keeping the diary, a pen and a lamp within easy reach so you don’t have to get out of bed to record your dreams.
A big MUST DO, is to read the following 2 threads in the Lucidity Intro forum. They contain heaps of techniques that will get you started in your dream quest.
