Thread: I dont understand one thing ... I can remember 4 dreams at night

Before my inactive streak, I used to wake up twice a night. For some reason, getting up at those times seemed to really help, and I was more alert and found it easier to get up in the morning.

Yeah. In that state, you feel pretty motivated about it. You want to write them all down. And your journal fills in nicely.

Yes. Sometimes it happenned to me too. Thats pretty common here. We all share the same experience. Is there something you did for your recall from the start? I am searching for some interesting techinques, or maybe for some observations about how does the recall behave under some circumstances. I know this was pretty difficult to understand. But I think, you know what i am talking about.

Yess. That helps. And how. But sometimes it happens, that we have problems with remembering dreams although we feel motivated and although we stay 2 times at night. Why is that? What do you think?

Waking up each time to fill the dream journal is a new chance to VILD or MILD.
Yay!

Superb perspective. When I expected too much, i didnt see the chances.
But that doesnt mean i am not expecting too much.

You do not have to wake up 3 times to remember 3 dreams. i woke up in the morning and remembered 4 dreams, and i usually don't remember more than 1, if i remember any at all.

How did that happen? How did you build that skill? Did it repeat?
