I was just wondering because I wake up and kind of rushed to get to class, is it really worth the extra effort to do it. Btw dont mark yes if it only kind of helped. |

Yes it does. I, unfortunately, have the same problem. I can usually write them down first period because I have PE and can't do anything because of an injury, or I can write down key words that will remind me of the dream, so I can write them down later on in the day. |

Keeping a dream journal is the single greatest thing you can do for your dream recall - period. Before I discovered lucid dreaming and started a dream journal, I was one of those people who thought that they just didn't have dreams. 2.5 years and much dream journalling later, I now remember 2-4 dreams per night. |

Yeah, it's definately helped me. I'm just starting to have longer lucids now, so it's often hard enough remembering all that happened as soon as I wake up, much less later in the day or even weeks from then. Mine are fairly weird, so some can be really hard to remember, while some are just the opposite. |

It has helped tremendously. In the beginning, I could remember 2-5 dreams per night. For some reason that has fallen down to about 1-3. Still, I remember dreams. Before I kept a dream journal, I was remembering maybe 7 dreams a month. I got lucid dreams about once every 6 months. Keeping a dream journal has gotten my lucid dream frequency to about two a week, and I think I'm close to hitting three. Most of all though, I find dream journaling to be worth the effort if only for the fun of it. I wouldn't remember most dreams a year, let alone a month if I didn't write them down. I'm also pretty rushed to get to class, but all I did was wake myself up 10 minutes earlier than I needed to. Honestly, the biggest problem I have is being too tired to record dreams that weren't too vivid, and the fact that I sleep on my arms and cut off blood circulation doesn't make it any easier... |

the greatest thing about a dream journal is if you keep it long it is actually entertaining to read. Ive had one dream journal for 3 years and every so often i read the whole thing and even if i only have a few words about a dream that happened years ago i still remember it vividly. You can actually re-experience the dream. Now a days i try to read through it every night because i have so many dreams written down and so many dream signs that it will usually produce a lucid just from reading it. I also put drawings in it of dreams and sometimes i write "this is a dream" for an entire page before i go to sleep. Dream journals are an invaluable tool for dreamers. |

The worst mistake you can make is to think you're alive when you're really asleep in lifes waiting room.
Yea, I remember my dreams much better now. Although I haven't been keeping it as well as I should be. |
|
By keeping a dream journal I went from remember an average of basically 0 dreams every night to now a minimum of 2 (2 months later). I also log |

Yes it helps, improves recall greatly. But more importantly, dream details and vividness. |
|
ok, I am a busy lad myself |
|
Absolutely!!! When starting out, it helped greatly in identifying dreamsigns. For me, this is still the best way for me to become lucid. |

you must be the change you wish to see in the world...
