Some Basic Dream Recall...

[theroguechemist]

Well I tried taking a stab-in-the-dark at lucid dreaming, and unsurprisingly, I failed. So I decided I needed to first focus on my dream recalling abilities, and it's been about a week since. I have a question on how to distinguish when one dream ends, and another begins... [?] Much to my surprise, I have pretty good dream recall, with, so I think, at least one dream a night. I can recall different parts of a dream happening before others, and the situations in each place change, but I don't have any clear guidelines to go by in deciding how many dreams I remembered. Any advice? Thanks

Many people have problems with this. It is not really that important to remember where one dream ends and the other begins.

What is really important is what you can already to, have a good dream recall.

welcome chemist...you try writing down the whole dream, or just main events??

I wake up several times a night, that's why i remember many separate dreams.
But distinguishing between them is unimportant - the main thing is that you remember them. So you can look for dreamsigns.

I've been trying to summon lucid dreams during last 5 nights or so, and i found myself waking up after each dream. Strange, but all my dreams ended very abruptly - like here i am dreaming, next 5 sec I'm awake and performing a reality test.

I've thought about this too....I notice peops on the forum saying they had 4 dreams last night etc,etc

I guess everytime a Scene changes it's a New dream??

Thanks for the words... Lowercase Society: I usually write down the main events, rarely do I write a "paper" on my dream. However, my dream recalls are becoming increasingly longer, and my reality testing is becoming better... So all is good.

Well just last night I had 4 dreams, or so I think. One of them was the main subject of my second dream and a subtopic (i guess), in my 4th dream. It's really difficult, just takes alot of thinking before I get out of bed.
