I’ve been using a dream journal and have been trying to actually induce lucidity for about 5 months now. My dream recall is pretty good with 3 seperate dreams a night even tho they may not be that long just a part of that dream. But it seems like while trying to remember last night’s dream I am actually able to remember older dreams really well and this will randomly happen during the day. It will hit me and i’ll be left with a surge of dream recall that is almost too much to handle. These dreams feel older though about a few months. Anyone else experience this lag but excellent dream recall like I do?
Yes it’s completely logical. Because dream is also memory which we forget much easier then anything else and now when you pay more attention to dreams it’s no surprise that you remember older dreams to, sometimes they can be pretty vivid and sometimes I don’t know where to place them!
EDIT: Um, double post somehow… can someone delete this?
Yes! I actually made a thread about this exact subject not long ago. My recall has been awful these last few days, but when it was good, I would remember all sorts of random dream fragments. Some of these were easily a couple of months old. It’s funny how just a little effort to remember dreams can translate into remembering way more dreams than intended. It seems as though this is pretty common. Just searching “remembering old dreams” on this site yields at least 3 threads about it.
