Thread: A nice Technique

Anyway say you have a dream in the middle of the night and wake up, and can't be bothered to write it down? This technique well help you massively!

Well when you wake up go through your dream about what happened in words describe every detail to yourself in your head; go through it a couple of times, until your happy you will remember it, then go back to sleep, don't even have to get out of bed. Then in the morning you don't even have to try to remember it! Works everytime!

What has worked for me briljantly was remembering the dream, attatching it to a Symbol which describes it, drawing that symbol on some paper and going back to sleep.

Lets say I dreamt of eating a Mescaline containing Peyote cactus and tripping on it, I would draw a small, simple symbol of a peyote cactus and go back to sleep (I literally did this with 1 such dream) I would wake up the next morning, see the symbol and remember the ENTIRE dream in all it's detail.

Worth trying, but maybe won't work for everyone. I appear to be a very deep sleeper, and my dreams aren't very vivid. I wrote one down during the night on Friday, then woke up the next morning and could scarcely remember having dreamt it, despite writing the whole thing down !

Haha, why the name then?? It certainly doesn't make LDing any easier. Most nights I wake up recalling nothing.

LMAO, well my name meaning I am the forgotten dream, but yeah i guess you can see it that way LOL.
i sometimes have lucids where i don't recall the whole thing and i don't count them as successful lucid dreams, but for the most part they leave an impression on me and are easier to remember.
