Thread: Control during the day relates to dreams at night?

That sounds like a really good experiment. I can't tell because when I think it's usally for school and for school I have less time to sleep so that might effect lucid dreams more than just vegetating all day.

No, I don't see the connection of day energy transfering into dreams unless Ur talking about day residue which is random. When Ur lethargic during the day it simply means Ur tired so naturally Ur dream recall will suffer.

I don't know about just being tired.. I think the key part is the mental tension that comes from applying effort. If I don't put forth enough effort, my day becomes less ordered and therefore less conscious.

I notice that when I am physically or mentally exhausted and go bed that I seem to have dreams come about easier and Lucidity is easier to achieve if that is what you are asking.

I few years ago a wrote alot of stuff after an exam at school relating to the expericences we have during the day it was actully very in deep, i was also mostly stoned alot of the time to(stupid me)

But it actully had alot to do with control your mind throughtout the day, but really i do think there is some kind of connection from our body to our mind during the day. crap i wish i still had that stuff, if i find some of it i will post it, so you can have a read.

Hmm I'm not sure. Maybe that is true. I also feel when I am exhausted I have more vivid dreams. Also, if you aren't stressed that helps too.

When i've had a bit of a groggy day and a bit knackered i will generally remember less but when more aware during the day i find that this active awareness will oftenly show up in my dreams thus me remembering more.
