Thread: Most dreams youv'e recalled after 1 night

I have probably been able to recall around 7, if you count pieces of dreams. If you only count full dreams then probably 4.

Hmmm, probably around 10, but I could hardly keep track of them all, and I don't think I wrote them all down, I might have in my DJ somewhere, they were pretty short dreams though.

As far as full dreams, 6 dreams all lucid, after a huge WBTB.

The most amount for me is 3 full dreams, I wrote loads of detail on them though. This was also just normal sleep.

Normally I would remember a dream and a half.

Normally I remember up to 2 dreams per night, but this morning I was able to write down 4 dreams. I'm starting to get the hang of it, I guess

The most full dreams I've remembered is four. The most dream pieces I've remembered is probably around seven or eight.

Ive remembered 3 or 4 full dreams, with about 4 fragments of other dreams in the same night. My problem is that while im writing down all the info i can think of about my first dream, the others slowly start to fade, so by the time i get around to them, i only have fragments left. Does that happen to anyone else?

My best night of dreaming was 13 dreams. Some were fragments, but quite a few were legnthy dreams.

Often what I'll do is first start by writing down a few key words from each dream until I've gotten each dream down. Then I'll go back and fill them in. By doing that I'm less likely to forget the dreams.

I recall (if I recall at all)

2-3 dreams.

Often one is like really long and the other one is like 10 seconds...

The most would have to be around 10.

Haha. Full dreams? About 4. Dream pieces...too much to count. haha. And in one night. haha

The most dreams I've ever recalled in one night is 25, which happened a couple of weeks ago.

After having had 3 vivid dreams I got up and took some galantine and GABA and put on a nicotine patch, which proved to be too much because it kept me awake for the next 4 hours.

Finally, after tossing and turning for 4 hours I got up, took off the nicotine patch and went back to bed, finally falling asleep again.

20 minutes later I woke up from another vivid dream, and then the dreams started coming every 5 minutes, and finally every 2 minutes, giving me 22 dreams in the final hour and a half with the last 3 dreams being lucid.

There's a state that I've been able to reach once in a while after having slept at least 9 hours where the dreams start coming about every 10 minutes, but this is the first time I have been able to get them to come every 2 minutes.

It probably had a lot to do with the galantamine and nicotine patch I had used earlier.

It took me over an hour when I got up to record them all in my spreadsheet as I had just recorded them on a digital recorder during the night.

I have recalled 6 dreams and got some memories from a 7th dream once.
3 or the dreams where very vididly recalled, and the other 3 wasn't so bad recalled either.

Does nicotince make the recall better?

Nicotine is supposed to cause more vivid dreams and help in becoming lucid, although it is also known to wear down the nicotine receptors in the brain really fast, so should be used sparingly, if at all.

I only use a 7mg nicotine patch (the smallest one available) about once or twice a month to mix things up a bit to keep my brain guessing when trying to become lucid.

Some of the more natural supplements that can help in having more vivid dreams are the following. Be sure and research any of these before taking them though to make sure you understand the best doseage to take and understand what the side effects can be.

GABA powder
ZMA - read the customer reviews on this one at http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=1041
Ginko Biloba
Vitamin B-12 taken with Folic Acid
COQ10
Acetyl Carnitine
Fish Oil - make sure and get the kind that says No Fishy Aftertaste

The best thing I've found to help with recall is just recording my dreams, and then going back over them again, rewriting out the most vivid onces again before going to bed the next night.

Usually 2, occassionally 3. The most I've had is 3.5 where the 1/2 dream being a fragment of a dream where I just remember a few things about it.
I don't know how some you have remembered 10 dreams in one night, that's just crazy!

Not crazy at all Looking Glass. You just need to know how to do it.

I have 10 or more dreams all the time on the weekend when I am able to sleep in.

The secret to having a lot of dreams is get up after 6 or 7 hours of sleep and use the bathroom so you will be able to remain in bed later when the dreams start coming closer together. If you are hungry, grab a quick bite to eat, but try to get back to bed as soon as possible so that you can keep as much of the rem closeness as possible that you have already built up by sleeping so far.

After about 8 or 9 hours, your dreams should be coming a lot more frequently than the were the first part of the night by reason of your having slept so much.

At this point you should be much more aware of your dreams by reason of being rested from having slept so much, and hopefully will be awakened after each dream you have.

When you awaken from a dream, lie there as still as possible, and record it on something like a digital voice recorder, keeping your eyes shut if possible, and moving as little as possible.

Then just continue to lie there and wait for the next dream which should show up in about 10 minutes.

If you need something to concentrate on, just concentrate on the last dream you just had, and maybe you can reenter it and become lucid in it.

Using this technique I've been able to have as many as 17 to 20 dreams several times, and that was without using supplements.

usually i remember one every nigth, but once i remembered 3 dreams... but that night i went to sleep 3 times too

stupid noise...

The most I would have to say if 2-3.

Like 10. In only one hour. All LDs. It was my very first night of LDing. It happened something like this:

DILD: "My first lucid! YEESSSSS!!!!" POOF!
It ended.....
WILD:"Yay, I'm still lucid! Now I'll-" POOF! It ended again......
WILD: "Ok, still lucid. I can't get excited or it'll-" Poof! DARN IT!!
WILD: "I should probably rub my hands together-" Poof!

Eventually I got really annoyed and gave up.

The most I've evered recalled in one night is 7, altough 1-3 is more normal for me. I've yet to recall a LD though

Only 4
But I'm just starting so hopefully I'll increase that number soon

Around 10, I'm sure I've had nights where I've remembered more, but they're rare.

5. Its in my DJ now!
