How to End a Dry Spell

Okay. I just had my first LD :content: , and as soon as I got it, I’ve been having a dry spell. At first I didn’t worry, I thought my dreams would be triggered by something in WL (that usually happens).

Nothing.

I wake up with a feeling left over from the dream, but otherwise I’ve had no recall from the dreams. :sad:

I had one fragment, but nothing else.

What can I do to fix this? :help:

I just checked the dates and it’s only been a few days since your LD (6/27/08 )
It probably feels worse since you are really looking forward to your next LD

So first don’t panic, the recall will get better.
Secondly it is quite bad practice to rely on dream recall being naturally triggered during the day. It’s best to lie in bed for 5 or 10 minutes when you first awake and just relax and search your mind for any lurking dream memories :content:

Slap yourself. Do something crazy with a lot of action and rush. Get out of you apathy.

Think of something you want to accomplish in a dream. Something fun with action - like flying. Incubate a dream like that. Then, do something with a lot of action the day before. When you go to sleep, dead-tired, remind in your dream. That should help you.
