The thing is, you probably wont even remember the beginning of the lucid. That's why people say its important to work on dream recall. I've only had one pretty long chain of lucids, and I didn't even remember the first lucid I had that night, just a slight recall of it. My most memorable lucid was one where I became lucid at a beach at night and I did that lasso thing from Bruce almighty where he pulls the moon closer. But instead of it getting closer, the sun came up instead lol.

yea you're probably right. I mean remembering a whole lifetime worth of a dream would take some superhuman dream recall

I see what your saying though. People do fulfill some fantasies in lucids, but you have to keep good dream recall. But people do use lucids to help out their life, like myself who wants to use lucids to help my anxieties and become more outgoing. Im looking into acting a little. Just try and see if Like it, and I can use lucids to help out acting. You probably know about the benefits of lucids already.

Can you please tell me which section of EWLD you're referring to? I don't remember anything like that in EWLD. It seems inconsistent with his belief that eye movement (along with other bodily functions) tend to correspond with the dream as it's happening in the dream.

What if you have natural recall? That could make it interesting.
