About RCs - I don't do them consciously either in a dream. I just do it suddenly. Last time I did a nose plug, which completely surprised me, because I almost never practice that. Sometimes I mix them up. Drop some and do some new ones. But only after I give them enough time to work. After reading in some book, that all this waking world may acctually be just a dream, I started saying during day "I am dreaming" while really feeling how it would be, if it was true. This got me lucid once, when in a dream I started hearing 'I'm dreaming' and then another voice saying "I wonder how long it will take her to ralize that". |

Thanks gab |

I think I forgot to mention - mantras should always be in present tense, never future. Out mind interprets 'I will' as anytime later, just not now. So something like "I realize I'm dreaming" should work. |
|
True... but months ago i could recall 3-4 full dreams a day =( |

Well, seems like the mantras don't help much so far. Today i literally couldn't remember anything and yesterday i only remembered once i was at the same place where i was in my dreams... I'm gonna try doing them more though.. |

lol you could as well use a voice recorder to make it faster, no need to journal by typing every time, heck, even some notes can work too for some people. |

I thought about that, but i don't feel like that's as effective. I might want to read back on my dreams and listening to them takes more time and if i miss a part i have to listen to it again... ect ect... |

In the last days i changed my day mantra for the "i realize that i'm dreaming" one, but since then my dream recall got worse again. Yesterday i only remembered 2 fragments and today 1 dream. Althrough today i got an LD, which balances things out |

See how much a DJ helps recall? Keep it up! As for improving your technique that sounds like a good call. I've recently found mantras to waking myself up naturally very helpful, I wake up roughly 3 times a night and usually attempt 1 wild. So I'd recommend you do the same, I usually just repeat "I will wake up and stay still" for about 10 mins in bed. Try it out |

Today i remembered 5 dreams. Well more like 2 fragments and 3 full dreams... it's kinda good, almost like years ago ^^ I think it helped that i woke up multiple times during sleep. |

Good your recall is back up. Well, you are lucky that recall won't go away just for not journaling a few days, do you think about the dreams when you wake up and go back on it? I find that helps greatly with recall and keeps it up even when there is not enough time/will to journal. |
|
Well if there was an interesting one then i think about it for a while, but it's rare for me that i get to remember more parts when i keep thinking about them |

Ooh, amazing! Very nice progress then, anything memorable during that time happened? |
|
Well, it was indeed memorable The story was about me going to China with a group of familiar people. After a while i got lost and couldn't find the others. So i bought a room in a hotel and thought out what should i do. Since i had no money for the plane or anything to go home, i decided to get to know the city and try to find a job.... I also befriended some people... |

Oh thats cool, well you can actually have another life in dreams. But it will feel like two-timing lol |

These days i'm stressing about Lucid Dreaming for some reason... I'm still doing my DJ, just i remember less dreams when i'm stressed and i can't get an LD either Not sure how could i lower my stress... i keep trying to think positively, but even a small negative, stressed thought is enough to ruin it.. |

The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary.
No sailor controls the sea. Only a foolish sailor would say such a thing. Similarly, no lucid dreamer controls the dream.
Like a sailor on the sea, we lucid dreamers direct our perceptual awareness within the larger state of dreaming.
