Apparantly dream recall is essential to starting lucid and 'pleasant' dreaming.

I say 'apparantly' as the whole field fills me with a sense of skepticism and rage generally only equalled by religion and self help books.

Hahaha

another technique is to look at your hands while dreaming ;)

Dream recall definitely is a skill you can learn, or a knack you can acquire.

And lucid dreaming is a genuine phenomenon. I don't know if it's possible to 'make' it happen though, or if there's any link between the two.

I have fairly passable recollection of my mental dreams.

I don't question that lucid dreaming happens, I do question that it's really very impressive though or something to bother trying to attain.

i used to wonder about my lucid dreams

whether i was really lucid, or just dreaming that i was. then i realised that the same problem applies to being awake, and my brain gave up in rebellion

I've had a few near misses

realised i was dreaming then tried to fight to stay in the dream as i woke up

and one weird one were i realised i was dreaming as i was back doing work experience at bizarre magazine about 6 months after i'd done it.. and as i realised i was dreaming it became very difficult to move as i had to force myself around relearning my footsteps... and every one into that dream gathered round and smiled at me encouragingly as i tried...

but now i look back on it i confuse my self with the question well couldn;t that of been a dream about lucid dreaming.. and that thought circle makes my head hurt.

I had one recently where i kept waking up then going back into the same dream... that was awesome google was trying to take over the world using stormtoroopers. t'was wearing your scrotum as a hat mental that one

I have literally no acknowledgement of dreams, in fact I don't even really feel conscious in my dreams.

Even when I'm somewhere obvious which I should know isn't real, I'm not thinking in dreams, things are being thought for me.
But on the upside that level of disconnection means I never get bad dreams or anxiety or anything, plus they are always fucking weird.

On the downside it sort of feels like you are watching a 1890s silent movie through greaseproof paper.

I never consider them nightmares

i think that level of detachement happens for me too..

as i was in a RPG attack narrowly misssed being exploded.. and there was fucked up bodies every where.. that was a weird one...

I also dreamt in animation once. I helped popeye defeat a trex. best. dream. ever.

Oh I've died several times before.

Fell into lava and vapourised, blew myself like the final scene in Leon, drowned (that was quite a weird one).

They are still all grey and fuzzy and shit though. I demand HD! With 5.1 Surround sound!
