I've been Trying... key word there. to have a lucid dream and to remember my dreams for some time now. 5+ months. i have written down dreams but i have a very hard time remembering them. sometimes i go on a streak and have these very vivid memory of them for a few days. then it just vanishes for weeks on end.
I am pretty good at Reality checking thought the day and i have noticed that i even do them subconsciously now during my day. i'll be doing busy work then out of nowhere it shoots into my head. i get the idea to do a reality check and become more self-aware for that moment.
Also i think i have some anxiety about dreaming. i assume it's just the sleep paralysis or the weird/trippiness from going from one consciousness to the other. i guess you could say I'm scared of the actual physical feelings either imaginary or not of actually falling asleep and shifting minds.
I have tried some lucid dreaming Tones and those just increase my anxiety because now i feel that much closer to it so i get scared. i also get paranoid about demons and such but i dismiss that easily. my heart starts going a few beats quicker. which causes me to panic because idk why it's happening so i think im unhealthy and going to have a heart attack or something.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any tips/help you give
