Obviously accessing waking memory from within a dream will do that and also train your ability and self-awareness. But what about dream recall in waking life? Does that serve to create the same kind of crack between waking and dreaming long-term, or in other words does this train the same ability?
Is that the reason why dream recall is important, or is it only that one can remember his dreams in order not to forgot the experience?
