I woke up from previous dream that I can't quite recall and attempted WBTB which failed. I recall a fragment, it was middle of the night. I was in some city, driving my car. I was somewhat scared of driving and couldn't drive properly due to that.
to you tag throughout the night? it helps a lot. just put a notebook next to you and write down like 3 to 5 words down to the fragment/dream you remember. repeat it some times in your had and fall asleep doing so --> higher DILD chance and way better recall
I don't tag but I memorise as much as I can. I also tend to associate dreams with objects. Like noticing a roadsign in waking life allowed me to recall a dream in which I saw the same roadsign. The amount of detail I recalled using this method varies, I can recall just a fragment or a whole dream.
