My Dreaming

Yesterday before going to sleep I read a few articles (wikipedia was the best of the sources, actually) on lucid dreams. The first advice there was to start a journal and write down your dreams there to remember them better.
I do remember my dreams from tonight in good details and as I think, I remember most of them (3 or 4, not sure how to separate them). Yes, I forget the details pretty soon after I wake up, too. But writing dreams down takes a lot of time, and describing briefly does not have the required effect, as I see it.
But that's a good start anyway - to remember so many dreams from one night.
Yet again, I tried to use dreams tonight to see a certain person, because I kind of miss him. So, lying in bed I began remembering all the time we spent together in past few weeks, but it was painfully closed in my mind. That made me back off, of course. I realized that this was the sealed place of my memories that keeps me from the further heartbreak and pain. Though, this person was at the end of the last dream, before I woke up completely - he called me on mobile and said that he was at the Uni, so I could come. I said I'd be there, and went to tell this to my parents (who were in my dreams, too). So yes, I heard his voice.
What makes me feel uncomfortable about lucid dreaming is that I love my dreams, they are bright, interesting and full of events. If I use those techniques will that go away or become even better? Uncertainty kind of keeps me from trying harder. Though, I would like to set themes for my dreams - that would give me a chance to spend my sleep time on solving relationships and ethic problems.
I completely overslept today. I wanted to wake up at 9 a.m. max, but got up at almost 12 a.m. This sucks. I have a lot to read for the next exam. So one-day preparation is not an option.
