Thread: Improving dream memory helps lucidity!

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

Aww thanks... but I'm still in training and still learning just like you guys.

maybe you all aren't appreciating the scope of the article, practising short-term memory of waking life within dreams (i.e. what did i do yesterday?) is the key to consistent lucid dreaming (DILD's perhaps every night after substantial practice).

Well, I have a bad short term memory, but most of my dreams are still lucid. 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).

Line, you don't understand, praticising your short-term memory from within lucid dreams, will increase the frequency of lucid dreams; as it makes it easier to distinguish between waking life and reality. It seems an integral and relaible way to transition from a novice to advanced dreamer; every aspiring lucid dreamer should try it.

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.

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.

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