Welcome MonkeyElk.

I don't think odd hours will make a difference to your dream recall ability, as long as you've grown accustomed to those hours and your sleep times aren't random.

As for increasing dream recall - what about instead of an alarm use a vibrating thing (no not that vibrating thing) discussed somewhere on the 'Ataining Lucidity' forum. FAiling that, you just need to persist and eventually you will see an improvement. Remember: you will suceed

Welcome to Dream Views MonkeyElk!!!! Here have a banana!!!



Some people.... Yes you Seeker.... have had success with drinking a lot of water before they go to sleep so they have to get up often during the night when nature calls. With luck you will remember a dream or two. Haha, yes I know I stole this idea but hey you don't have to worry about setting an alarm. Anyway just as Identity X says.... you will succeed!!!

P.S. I also don't think weird hours of sleep affect dream recall. But I cannot stress enough the amount of sleep. I find I dream a lot more with more hours of sleep. After 6+ hours we are more likely to recall and hopefully become lucid!!!!

Dream on!!!

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dream recall can be hard... before trying to recall them, I would remember like one a month or so... Now I can easily remember 5 a night after a month and a half of dedication. I was almost to the point of giving up, but stick with it!!!!

Also, my sleeping patterns have never been right... most of the time getting like 5 hours of sleep at night, then 4 more during the day, or a full 14 hours at night... but everything is going fine!

wow, you guys sure dont waste any time in responding to posts on this site, thats cool. Well just woke up after about 4.5 hours of sleep, woke up on my own, couldn't remember anything decided to have a smoke and come read some stuff on LD. Well thanks for the advice people, and now I'm going back to sleep cause i am very tired......

Welcome!

Yeah, I've got a friend right now that thinks it's bull also, but I expect he'll come around eventually!

Hey MonkeyElk Welcome to the Forum.

The names just keep getting more interesting.
I think I have seen a monkey elk

Welcome To DV's MonkelyElk. Pretty interesting name you got there.

sounds like you will fit in just fine here.... welcome 8)

I think MonkeyElk is a great name... Its a long story behind it, i'll explain some time in another post... I REMEMBERED MY DREAM TODAY!! yay, well at least 1, so thats 2 in like 4 or 5 days, so I guess I have done alright since before that I could only remember a dream every couple months or so. So ok, I was at my temple having dinner with all of my family, grandparents too, and they were all pissing me off and all eyes were on me the whole time, and finally my mom said something really ignorant to piss me off and I ran away from the table, she came after me and I hid in an office I think so she would go by, but she walked right into the office but it was a different woman so I think she either morphed or something. Then all these servers from Applebees (where I work) were running around my temple trying to recruit people like crazy, I just had to keep tellin them I already work there... then i think I woke up....

Welcometo the forum Monkey Elk!

WELCOME MONKEYELK!!!!!!!

Your name is almost as absurd as Icedawg!!!!j/k

Anyway, the fact that you are already beginning to recall your dreams to some extent indicated that you are progressing, and soon, if you continue the effort, will have no problem with doing so....

hello im the friend who introduced monkey into dreaming. He passed the name of this site my way. Originally i got into it because i read somewhere that learning how to see your hand s in a dream would make u realize u were in one. SO in my waking life i would focus on my hands and ask my self if i was dreaming. THen one time i really was! I went ahead and registered to become more dream efficient, i often lose my dream right after become lucid.

enraged lion is the shit

and I hate him
