Thread: HELP! Improving prospective memory for MILD. Am I cheating?

I think repeating it in a mantra is fine; I do that too. I think it takes time to work, but, the real help (for me) with these exercises is developing that critically reflective attitude. Looking at the world, seeing anything strange (not just what's listed) and remembering to RC.

When I was doing these, I had a lot of success with MILD, by saying "I will remember that I'm dreaming" as I was falling asleep. The prospective memory training helped there.

Oh, you might like these:









I took those from Laberge's book, and then made them into pictures to use as desktop backgrounds. Talk about cheating.

Good luck with your training

thanks!

i suppose it depends on how we define memory? it's really beyond me. we need a neuroscience major or psychologist here!!!

wow okay i just read an article about it in general and there's debate on how it is even defined in relation to how it is fulfilled. there's some theory that essentially says that people do what i just said, keeping focus on the task to remember. then there's another that says the prospective memory is triggered by association and was not kept in mind and others!

and i just found a really old thread on here, http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-...ve-memory.html, where neary this exact same question was asked, he didn't really get an answer. there are other similar threads. so either no one knows or it works either way?
