I have been unfortunately living with what i think its bad dream recollection. Memories of my dreams don’t seem to compare to memories of everyday life. I am curious to know if other peoples dream memories can normally be as vivid or real as RL.
In my dreams i have trouble imaginging myself back in that situation, myself, unlike an actually memory where it is easy to picture yourself and the exact feelings and thoughts of the situation. Like my dream it was a story told by someone else, i find it hard to take myself back.
What do you think of this? is it just symptoms of trouble with remembering dreams well?
It will probably get better with time. I have no trouble remembering my dreams very vividly, usually it’s just as vivid as IRL memories and sometimes even more so. But that’s probably because I did something really cool in a dream But then again my memory is very visually oriented, I remember almost everything as images…
As jarod explains, DR can become better once you give it some time and start actively practising to increase it. There’s a lot of info on the main site about this, and also on the forum, for example here. I advise to read through this and check out some techniques you might want to try to help you get better DR. Good luck with it .
Hey thats what Ill do, that would be a good exsesise to stay lucid, because if you can keep from waking up while thinking about RL memorys, it should be easy to stay lucid when your not thinking about them.
