Lucky you Julian - wish I could do the same

I’ve been having bad dream recall in about a month now - naturally hope it will get better

#10

recalled 1 dream today…
if i recall one tomorrow again i’ll be happy :happy: i’m afraid my recall on mondays isn’t good…

#11

nice work Julian good to see youve already made progress
the dreams will get more vivid as long as you keep on writing in that journal :happy:

When you really try, and really have an intention of remembering your dreams (sufficient amount of sleep is also important), you will most likely remember your dreams. A few weeks ago, I was very upset of not having recalled anything for 2 weeks. I decided to end this “dry” period, and on the same night I remembered 6 dreams! That was a record for me :smile:

My main problem is that I get too lazy. Having a true intention is very hard for me! I need to think about it a lot, read a lot here in the forums, and repeat to myself with full concentration (which also is a really hard task for me!) when I go to sleep, that I will remember my dreams.

I have a tendancy to give up on recall a lot of times because of that, because I feel as though I’m trying too hard to do something which seemingly does not help me very much. :confused:

The only way to truly succeed with dream recall, and later on with lucid dreaming, is to practice more and more, and never give up!

#13

Well, I’ve had a DJ for about a month now, and I remember my dreams pretty well. But I don’t really know how much I should remember before I practice inducing LDs seriously. LaBerge says one dream a night, but what does he actually mean with that? Should I remember every little detail in the whole dream or just the plot? I can actually remember a couple of dreams every night, but very seldom in such extreme detail. How much am I supposed to remember, any experinced lucid dreamer out there that can help me? ^^

#14

I think you should start, as long as you remember some details… Most people usually remember lucid dreams easier than normal dreams.
It is not really very often i remeber all the details of a normal dream, unless i wake up right after the dream.
I would say go ahead :smile:

#15

Yeah LaBerge says that If you can remember at least one dream a night for a week you should start trying techniques, so yeah definitely. Go for it.

#16

Hey, guess what? I remembered 6 dreams last night (Four of them I remembered so much that I forgot some while I was writing, and the other two were kind of little snippets of dreams)!! That’s a record for me! (Now if I could only get down that whole lucid thing…)

That’s great. I have had that problem as well where I start to forget dreams as I write them down. I corrected at first by writing the dreams in the order I had them. Your dream recall will continue to improve in time.

This also just takes time, constant practice and don’t give up you will get it in time.

Happy Dreaming

I have a question,

Is it worth writing down fragments of dreams in a DJ? I’m very new to lucid dreaming and I’m in the phase of remembering dreams every night, but right now I can only remember fragments of dreams. Should I write them down or wait until I can remember an entire dream?

#19

I NEED TO KNOW!

In the past when ive had dreams, it has always felt like im accually living them, i never had to serch my mind for lost memories, like id wake up and instantly go “damn! that dream was awsome!”, but it seems like everyone else just remembers there dreams, instead of living them then remembering them(if that makes sence??)

do you learn to have these kinds of dreams in time? or is it jus random?

#20

Writing down a dream can help you remember more of it. Start writing down next morning!

#21

Yes I agree with r3m0t. Write down every single detail you can remember, even if it’s just a vague impression. This way you’re actively working on your dream recall, which may get better as a result.

Actually I don’t understand what you’re saying. What do you mean when you say you live your dreams instead of remembering them?

#22

i mean while im dreaming, i know im gonna wake up and remember it, rather then jus waking up and tryin to peice together the dream from little details i can faintly remember

like everysingle dream ive had before i was tryin to remember, has felt like im living it, these dreams happend very rarely(and randomly)

i can remember most of the dreams ive had in my life, cause theres been so few, and when i wake up its like i jus teleported from my dream to my room, so they are very easy to remember and stick with me for a long time

i hope that explains it a bit better? its a tricky subject

#23

So you know you’re dreaming and are therefore lucid?

You just mean recall which is so good you don’t need to think about dream recall, you just remember it. Right?

#24

ya im deffinatly not lucid(altho maybe a very low lucidity)

i guess you could say my dream recall is jus incredibly good at random times, but then when im tryin to remember my dreams, my dream recall is horrible, worse then anyone i know

this shit is really hard to explain, especially since it happens to me so rarely

#25

I think these particular dreams you are talking about, are the ones that your subconscious wants you to know about and probably need to be worked with in some way? A problem that needs to be solved for example.

#26

hmmmm, ya thats very possible?, infact a few things from my dreams come to mind as far as something my subconcious wants me to know.

but theres still the question of - is it possible to have these kinds of dreams everynight??

#27

Personally I wouldn’t think so, unless you have a huge problem in waking life that needs a lot of work. :sad:
But then again some people have great control of their mind. :bored:

#28

damn… that lowers my spirit… when i started up on this site i thought thats what i was gonna get to learn to do, ive never rememberd a dream any other way :sad:
