I am trying to have lucid dreams and I have followed several guides to do so. I have a dream journal ready but I never remember any dreams. Is there anything I can do to help remember my dreams better?

lie on your bed while trying to recall dreams and move around in different positions
hmm I seem a little opposite weezer,
Thats the thing with this stuff everyone is different, you need to experiment with basically all of the techs that everyone talks about, one of them is bound to work for you.
For me, I remember best when I wake up right after the dream, I lie very still and focus on the events before they drift away, once I feel I have them in my memory for at least a little while I then go and write them down.
Sometimes Im lazy though and say feh I will write it down later and then go back to sleep, when I wake up everything is very vague and i cnat remember details..
Sometimes I have no choice but to remember, that flying dream in the Too real post for example, that was a solid memory and i didnt write it down untill two days later.
Look around the forum read what everyone individualy tries and give em a shot, it is going to take a little time so no worries.
:D
This morning I rememed no dreams for about 20 minutes. I sat there kept on thinking about *almost nothing. I left space in my head to remember a dream if it came back to me. I was about to give up when 5 dreams came to me. Also, if your desperate, set your clock to different times during the night and you might wake yourself up during a dream. Write down all feelings, pictures, or details.
i have the best recall when i set my alarm about 90 mins before i really have to get up, then reset for about every half hour or so till i absolutely have to get up, it seems to help quite often, with a recall after every alarm when i'm lucky. didn't work last nite tho dangit...
I forget to try to remember my dreams, so when I realize I had one half of it is already forgoten. I will try Post-It notes.
since u dream more then once a day, i get up periodically to write down my dreams.
like i would get up at around 3am then 5am then 7am
maybe u might remember it. well it'll increase ur chances... and make u really tired. but it worked for me
You know how I said I would use post it notes? It worked and I had a 5 second lucid dream. Unsatisfied but at least now I can remember it.
I only remember my last dream just before I wake up (damn alarm clock) Something about REM and stuff so its really clear. But I like to spend my first hour at school trying to recall my other dreams :D
I damned myfelf, i programmed myself to wake up after each dream. Now i keep waking up in the middle of the night and somtimes have a hard time going back to sleep.
think about the irony
the more exciting the dream, the more i want to write it down...the more motivated i am*

Shawndon, that sucks about waking upafter every dream...maybe it is time to do the spinning technique to prolong dreams...
umm... wut u could also do is eat snack before you sleep..
because it gives you energy to remember your dreams... werkz for me...
buh watch wut you eat.. i hear u could get sum nightmares depending on wut u eat...
I think I'll refrain from speaking my mind right now.
Well c the thing is ever since i stared dreaming, my biggest fear has come into light. I have an acute fear of darkness.Quote:

Once i wake up after every dream, i know i could use WILD. But i have to move to go turn on some form of light. I can not go fall asleep not feeling some form of security.
It all really started when i was practising LD, and i was dreaming and this horrible nightmare...blah blah blah.
I't all boils down to my sense of security with darkness
