Hey everybody, I was reading this article that says that improving your memory in lucid dreams, of the waking world can vastly improve the amount of lucid dreams and the frequency of dreams.
Makes sense, as with a improved memory, you can more easily distinguish the two and actually become lucid. The article suggests procedures to improve dreaming memory:

What do you guys and gals think?
I like the article. :)
I have actually done the "describe a memory from your more distant past" and was amazed at the details I could recall from my childhood.
Nice article its like a workout for your memory. I like how they rank your skill with different belts ( http://www.advancedld.com/blackbeltclub.html )... i bet you can be an AdvancedLD Black Belt Clarity :D
Aww thanks... but I'm still in training and still learning just like you guys. :)Quote:

Well, I have a bad short term memory, but most of my dreams are still lucid. :P However, this makes it hard to remember what I want to do in my lucid dreams (like the lucid tasks, I can only do them when extremely motivated, it seems).Quote:

Has anyone tried rehearsing memory in lucid dreams, and whether it actually improves lucidity?
With all these information articles and YouTube videos, you can really tell it helps lucidity. Nice Find (Adobe) PS. :D
That explains why I used to have many LDs back then. I remember that Whilst lucid, I'd recall past events which took place in the waking reality. This sort of recall improves ones knowledge of the sorrounding world- whether it is a dream or not. Now that I understand this concept much clearly, my next goal if I become lucid is to try and improve my recall while in that dream...
i like his example of helping a DC busboy. it feels good to help out a DC every once and while.
it seems kind of hard though. it does not have a lot of things to do IRL. you think of a reference as you fall asleep. then you have to be lucid and pretty motivated to do the rest. maybe after i do something fun while lucid i can just walk and talk about memories. it seems like it would be hard for me to go YAY I'M DREAMING, lets go reminisce with DC X. i guess i need my instant gratification.
Adobe? I'm watching you.Quote:

But if you practise, you can have many more lucid dreams, which means more oppurtunities for your instant gratification.Quote:
