that’s right, change the time you wake … either earlier or later should work. See what happens 
i’ll try, thanks.

I got a DJ wrote every dream i could remember. in the past 7 months ive had 18 dreams and ive tryed foods to help my dream recall and nothing. i also tried liquids too, still nothing. it is very frustrating and im on the verge of quitting please some one help! what other mothods can i use to help my dream recall
Concentrate. Lay in your bed, and repeat a phrase such as “I will remember my dreams tonight”. Mean it.
Don’t go to sleep too late or too tired.
Use cheese or chocolate.
Best of luck for you.
I was having trouble with recall a few weeks ago and I found that eating late helped. 
Try having something to eat about an hour before you go to bed then set your alarm for about 20-30mins before you would normally wake. The theory is that you’ll then be intterupting your normal REM cycle so that your mind doesn’t have time to subsume the memory of whatever dream you’re having at the time. 
I think that’s right but if anyone knows better or more then I’m sure they’ll help out. 
I gave up on LD’s and then a week later my cherry was popped ^_-
ok ill try to night
we’ll see if it works thanks.
OK Nice imagery hon cheers. 
It does quite often happen like that though. If you try too hard it always seems to be just out of reach, where as if you relax just a little bit you allow your brain some space to work. 
Congratulations. I’ll bet it was worth the wait!
Hi guys. I just became interested in LD a few days ago, and the first step for me is DR. I have trouple remembering dreams because I don’t notice I wake up, if that makes sense. I wake up, but because I’m so groggy, I don’t realize it. By the time I do, I’ve lost the dream. This morning, however, I remembered it about… a half hour or so after I got out of bed, but I would like to remember them when I want to, not randomly.
Any advice?
you just need to get into the habit of remember to recapture your dreams as soon as you wake; keep a pen and notebook by the bed to scribble anything you recall down.
Setting the intention to remember them before you go to sleep … not jumping out of bed as soon as you wake, allow yourself some time to lie still and recall them.
Also make sure you are getting enough sleep. If recall doesn’t improve, then experiment with changing the time you wake up. I find that when I wake during or just after a REM period I don’t need to make as much effort to recall the dream 
I cant remeber my dreams anymore. I could remember a lot of dreams for one week ago, but suddenly when i woken up one morning, my mind was empty. i can sometimes start to remember something, but it stops wery quick. I’m getting mad, and i does not know what this is, because it came so fast 
Does someone know what this could be?
It’s probably just a temporary dry spell. Could be a natural one or due to stress but your dream recall will return. Just continue to try to recapture the dreams as soon as you wake up and soon enough it will get back to normal again 
I remembered my first dream in over a week this morning 
It was not easy to remember it.
I remembered a small thing when i woke up. I had to focus very hard to remember more, but i was not able to remember so much.
that’s a good sign… your recall is starting to come back
I was remembering more and more each morning a while, but now it feels like i have lost my dream recall again
my dream recall sucks!!!
ehehehe, i dont know if this belongs here or not, sorry in advance…
but anyway… for months i havnt had a good dream, if i had a dream, it was a sceneless dream, talking to my self in my mind all nite long… and i felt as if i got no sleep at all…
anyway back to dream recall… mine sucks
i walked into my local pharmacy/chemist the other day…
whever i go… people seem to think… look at this triper!!!
anyhow i told a bloke in there… im a dream researcher… and my dream recall sucks
his response at first was… 
they didnt really have anything just for dream recall… but anyway he grabed a box of st john’s wort pills and a bottle of valerian pills… both a high potency…
and my god!!! i had cool and kick ass dreams all nite long:) hahahaah
just thought ill share this… so get to your local shop:) ehehe 
placebo!
Ok so I can’t really find a specific topic to help me out with it. This is my third night trying to inrease my dream recall (which is awful) the first night I remembered none, second night i remembered two, and last night I didn’t remember any! Is there any real way to help with this… I’m trying to stay motivated but it’s just really discouraging, and I feel like i’m never going to reach lucidity even though I really really want to!.. just asking for help with this first step =P Thanks
EDIT: Also, I know it has only been a short period of that i’ve been trying, but I’m wondering why I remember two the second night, and none the third.
Edited in double post, please use edit. Moved from quest to stuff 
Hi Xxei 
One of the best ways to help improve recall is to start a dream journal. Getting into a habit of writing even just short summaries of dreams will help you get used to remembering dreams on a regular basis. I also found focusing on my intention to remember my dreams during the day, but especially at night, helped me too. The method you use in the morning can also affect how your recall goes. I find it helps to remember the last point I can and then run the dream backwards. Once I get as far as I can, I try to remember other parts of dreams and run the dream backwards from there and then also forwards. Hope this helps 
I been going thought a dry spell for pass two weeks. I got no dreams and if I did, couldn’t remember what they were about. They been coming back. The pass two nights I did my WILD pratice and then the last think I told myself was I’m going to remember every thing that happens tonight. The frist night of two. I had a very vivid dream remembered everything. Then last night again did my WILD Pratice for awhile got tired of that. Then again told myself I’m gonig to remember every thing that happens.And whata you know I had the longest, the most vivid dream I ever had and I went lucid for about 5 mintues at the end of it.
You cann’t ask for more with a night like that. So basiclly dont try so hard tell yourself once what you want to do that night and go to sleep the recall will be there.
