You sleep the same amount of time? Is it the same hours, like 10 am to 6 am? Or is it just the same amount of time? |

So this past week i somehow managed to make my dream recall better.Usually i would remember 1 dream after waking up and thats all but this past week i was using mantras like ''i remember my dreams'' while falling asleep and with this method i managed to wake up during the night and write down a dream and then write another one upon waking up for the day.One day i had 2 dreams and 1 fragment from my nights sleep and 2 dreams during an evening nap 1 of them was at the begining of the nap and the other was after waking up from it.I mean i had 5 dreams recorded in my DJ in a day and i was feeling amazing.It was a breakthrough for me.But today its Saturday and i wake up with no dreams.I am pretty sure this is going to happen tommorow as well.It happens to me all the time though.Every weekend i cant remember my dreams and i dont even oversleep or sleep less.I sleep the same amount of time i sleep in my normal weekdays.Any ideas why this is happening? |

I sleep the same amount of time 8 hours in total.I wake up 2-3 times during the night.I would consider this micro wbtb.I record any dreams i may have and then i go back to bed. |
|
Is it the same waking and sleeping times though? Like 10-6, or does it change to something like midnight-8? |
|
Sorry for my late reply.No it is not the same bed-waking time.Most of the time i sleep later during weekends. |
|
Consistency is the key. In length of sleep, but also bed/waking time. Although sleeping longer is usually better. |
|
As i fall asleep i keep repeating that i will remember my dreams and it works.Do you think that if i change my mantra to "I will have lucid dream tonight" or somethig similar i might mess my recall up? |
|
Generally you want your mantra to be present, not future tense. There are lots that share this opinion, and I always find it to be better to stick with present. |

Here's a crazy question, Tasinios: Does it really matter if you don't recall your dreams on the weekends? |
|
Adding to what Sageous said, as long as you recall being conscious during the dream, not being able to recall it well won't affect your future lucid dreaming chances, as you had enough awareness during the dream to potentially become lucid. |

Sageous,I can agree with you.It is okay to let some them take their own way.The thing is that i have been struggling with verh incosistent recall since i first started practicing LD (about 2-3 months ago).I am getting better at recall now so maybe my excitement about the fact that my recall is getting better is making me want remember more.I will take your advice on that because i think i get stressed out whenever i cant remember one of them.If i get what dolphin said right, as long as i can remember what i did before on a non LD as the dream progresses i am good to go?I am having a really hard time going lucid though.I am missing really good chances.For example last night in a dream i was talking to a friend about not attaining my english lessons.The thing is that i haven't had any english lessons since my ECPE degree which was 5 years ago.It is like my brain perceives everything as normal and it is not proccessing it.After that i was riding dinosaurs.I mean am i not supposed to say that dinosaurs havent been on this planet for millions of years and become lucid? |

I think he was speaking more about awareness and not remembering what you did, but I'll leave that to Dolphin, as I may have misunderstood as well. |
|
As long as you are conscious during your non LDs, you're fine, as far as your in-dream awareness is concerned. |
