Ok, so I had like 5 lucid dreams before I started my dream journal. And one was when I was little, just cause it was a night mare and I could remember it. And, when I tried to purposly lucid dream, it happend about four times over the course of one year.
Now, when I started a dream journal, in march I had one lucid dream.
Then, I noticed some dream signs, some of them happen like 20% and others happen like all the time, here are mine in:y darkness, even thought there are lights in the building im in, i cant drive well, i have some big fear, there is physical conflict like a fight or intruder to beware of or even a knife or gun battle, chicks always dig me, when I wonder about something coming true it just seems to come true, I am in unkown places, I hang around people I dont usually hang out with or even know, I sometimes find myself fogetting stuff. Then, after knowing my dream signs, it is easier to spontanously know in a dream that your dreaming. Then I just look at my watch to ensure im not dremaing twice or three times.
Also, you will dream at LEAST one dream per night on average if you have a dream journal. Now, in April (the second month ive done the dream journal thing) ive had like even more dreams on average, and have had 5 lucid dream. I even had two lucid dreams in one night and had at one time, have had a lucid dreams one night, then one the night before.
And, my goal is to have a lucid dream everynight. I mean 5 dreams out of 30 days is 17% success rate as compared to 4 dreams over one year which is a 1% success rate. Well, I think you get the picture, hehe.
Also, here is a really good tip: Go buy a book on lucid dreaming like Exploring Lucid Dreaming by Stephen Laberge, as he has many many techniques for you. And, also there is this WILD technique which takes lots and lots of practice to get right, and finnaly yesterday from 2 weeks of practice it worked lol. But here is a WILD tip, once your in the sleep parylis stage IGNORE what ever you hear. For example I thought I heard my roomate sneaking into my room and I got mad and woke up and he was not there lol. That way, it will save you some aggravation lol.
EDIT: oops I forgot one lucid dream about fighting some demons lol:
I was at the baech, then I saw this black magnum looign gun pointed at me, but far enough to dodge. So, then I said RUN!, And I picked up this unaware mom, and was like he has a gun. Then the mom’s kid was like what are you doing? … as he tugged at my swimming trunks. I said to the kid run, the dudes got a gun… I might of put the mom down, but I paused. And, I found I was dreaming and I was sure I knew, but I knew. Then, now I was really, REALLY pissed off. Then I just was like if I could do that again I kick that dudes ass!, then I wanted to go back so bad, that I did. Then, I went back in time before the incident and talked some crap to the criminals (dont remember if it was just one guy with partners or just one dude). I started to fight them, Then, im not sure when or how, but I was on some rope bridge on a very high and dark place. Then, I kicked the shit out of all the weaker deamons. Then, I found that the head demon could fight really good and was hard to attack, sort of like a boss on a video game. Then, I still tried to beat up the head demon, but he was harder and ended up trapeing me. Then, I could not move for like five seconds, and the scene changed the crazy teacher scene.
So, for April I had 6 lucid dreams and 6 out of 30 days is 20%. lol.
