i just thought of this question…
i know everyone says the first step to LDing is having decent DR, but i heard that LDs are very easy to remember, since you are lucid/aware/conscious. So do you really need good DR to remember your LDs?
And is there anyone who remembers only thier LDs, and no NDs?
yes, the better your general recall, the better you will remember your lucid dreams.
I have heard people say they have had a lucid dream but can’t remember what they did or their memories of it are very vague
…but how do they know they were lucid?
You remember you had a LD, but you forget what you did in it. I have that on occasion, especially if I do not write down the LD right after, since my DR goes up and down all the time. But you are right on the average I’d say LD’s are more easy to remember since you are more aware.
Yes, LDs can be forgotten… I’ve had some experience with that, waking up and knowing I had an LD but not remembering what I did, or only a small part. You probably want to remember your LDs as detailled as possible and keeping a dream journal is a good way to achieve this 
another Q…
Lets say someone is having a ND, and they normally wouldnt remember it (because we ahve many dreams and we probably only rememer the last one we had when we wake up, unless you have a very good DR) but then in the middle of the dream they see a DS and do a RC and then become lucid… will they only remember the dream from there on? or even before that
lol oh yes u can forget, i have forgotten many! its umm not good lol thats why you should write them down. you sort of have a feeling that you where lucid, at lesat that is what i have.
and to your second questions, no generraly, i remember the b4 as well
Steve for me, I mostly remember the dream best from the moment I got lucid, and sometimes the ND before that too, but the LD memory is often much clearer.
thx guys
The reason you need good DR is so that you can begin to recognize certain recurring elements in your dreams.
I had a dream last night where I talked to a dream guide. I asked him if he was a being of his own and not just a product of my imagination plus some other LD related questions, but when I woke up this morning, I couldn’t remember if it was a LD or just a ND, even tho I remember everything that happened in the dream.
Do you think this could have been a LD even to I can’t remember it as being one? It’s kind of strange if it wasn’t a LD because I did lots of stuff in it that I would have done if it really was a LD.
The reason you need to dream recall is not that you will forget your lucid dreams, but that good dream recall allows you to have a very in depth account of your dreams in your DJ, which can allow you to become more familiar with them, and thus, better at recognizing dreamsigns and becoming lucid.
It could be a “false lucid dream”, a dream in which you do lucid-like stuff without being lucid. Generally, LD’s go together with an increase of consciousness, so that when I don’t remember a LD, I don’t remember the content but I remember to have been lucid, and never the opposite.
That is how all my lucid dreams started (except for the RC), and this is what I found.
1st LD: Remembered the first part as normal, but remembered EVERY minor detail of the lucid part. Basically, perfect recall for the LD.
2nd LD: Remembered the first part more vaguely than usual, remembered the lucid part as normal.
3rd LD: Completely forgot the first part, but remembered every minor detail of the lucid part again. There was a third part to this one as well where I perhaps lost a little bit of lucidity later, and I remembered that bit as normal.
So in general I’d say you do have better recall for lucid dreams - or at least, that’s the way it seems for me.
But keep in mind I always remember my normal dreams (I only ever have one long dream per time I fall asleep).
Hmmm… I have a good idea. When you realize you are in a lucid dream, program your brain to remember that dream. Because you’re on a subconcoious level, it will probably be very effective. Why not give it a go?
