Thank You StaySharp, I understand now. |

Just waking up for a short time isn't considered polyphasic, usually when sleeping polyphasic (like biphasic for example) you strife to put the phases apart as far as possible from each other. For example if you have 2 sleep phases with about 4 hours you would try to fit them into your day like this |

This thread really helped me. Thanks a lot! |

I link here but have never commented. This is my favorite thread for recall. I know only 3 or 4 more techs for remembering dreams. I love it. |

I'm wondering about the claim that a bright room results in better recall. I have exactly the opposite experience: I have achieved great recall (4 wakings, each time remembering 4 dreams) in a totally dark environment. In a very bright room, I seem to have 2 wakings max, and the recall is less detailed, with fewer and shorter scenes. |

About numbers of dreams: I've had nights with 16+ dream scenes (4 wakings each with 4 or more scenes), and some nights with similar large numbers of scenes but remembered transitions, which I count as a single dream. I think that as memory and recall improves the number of "dreams" drops since you remember more about the transitions between the scenes, but the amount of content remains the same or increases perhaps. Generally I count a scene as a separate "dream" if I can't recall the transition into it and if the plot is totally different from what came before. |

Yeah, I should rewrite the light part a little to put more emphasis on the fact that it may be different for many people. |

Exelent compendium staysharp, |

I have that kind of dream recall naturally though I have to say that thanks to work and life taking a heavy toll on me my current recall has gone far below average... |

Thank You, this was all motivating and helpful. |
|
Thanks for the Thread. Read it all found some new technique. Will start to apply those new one so I can recall my dreams quicker and then progress to recognizing that I am dreaming. |
|
3 years separate me from your post. This message to tell you thank you, thank you so much for your work and your thoughts. |

Hey, |
|
Gilgamish. What are you doing for recall? Have you tried micro-wbtbs? |
|
I use a dream journal, reality checks, and timing/preparing mentally etc. |
|
Giglamish you really need to reach for the dream memories immediately upon waking up, i suggest training your prospective memory so that when you wake up you instantly remember that you need to remember your dreams. If you hesitate the dream becomes that much more slippery and slides through your fingers. |
|
The definition of exactly how to group different "scenes" into "dreams" is slippery. For me it's a "feeling": sometimes I just "know" the different scenes are all within one dream (or are not). If I'm missing the "feeling", I consider scenes with no common actors, plot, or locations, or clearly recalled transitions as different "dreams." |

Some good points there. I did read your post almost immediately but have been very busy with stuff in my life. At some point in the future, when I find the time, I should and will definitely make a new revision and update this post. |
