This has probably been asked a thousand times, but are how vivid your dreams are, lucid or not, directly related to your dream recall only? |

well, pretty much, but things affect the recall. |

Thanks for the info! So basically if I just keep up with my dream journaling every night I should be able to acquire fairly decent recall? |

ooh that is also true, I remember lucid dreams as they happen, i can't explain it...but i don't wake up and have a memory of a lucid dream, i remember it as it was happening? so if you have good recall and the dream was vivid, you can remember it better, well i can at least because those are the 2 main factors. |

I feel the exact same way. I just had a lucid dream last night, and even right as I woke up, it had already lost its realism. It was like I was trying to remember specific details from a real life experience a week ago. But like you, after I confirmed I was lucid after my RC's, I remember specifically telling myself, "This is exactly like real life". Now, I can't remember details like the color of the walls, the type of flooring, furniture, etc. However, the logical sequence of events is still fresh in my mind. |

Well, I have found the two to be completely different. |

Good point. But could the lack of clarity in some of your dreams be dependent on the absence of your self-assurance that things are realistic? In other words, in dreams that do not seem "realistic," could they appear as such because you never told yourself while in the dream, "This is very realistic?" |

I was thinking the same about ADA. If you try to recall an event that happened yesterday while disregarding the fact that it truly was reality, the memory of the event can seem very similar to the memory of dreams. |

Dream experiences can be just as realistic as those while awake. They just tend to be less stable. If you want to test this, try this technique, which was inspired by a stability guide I found here (forgot who, sorry). |

Great advice. Thanks a ton. I had never heard of LLSMRC until just now. Will definitely try it whenever I'm lucid again. Who knows when that will be? My dream recall is still questionably poor. I've been remembering 1-2 dreams a night since i've started back at my dream journal a week ago, with the exception of last night. I couldn't remember a thing this morning. Very disappointing. However, my first lucid dream came after 3 days of zero-recall. I'll just keep at it. |
