So here's my results from Night 1:
What I Did:
Had my computer ready to go, listened to Subliminal Lucid 3.0 for 15 minutes, set my alarms, and got into bed and was able to occasionally affirm to myself that I would wake up and remember my dreams.
Here's my actual dream log for the night. I'll put all my dreams in dark blue or something, leave my notes in black, and that's all I need for now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So after I fell asleep, eventually the 4.5 hour alarm went off. I woke up, tried to remember some dreams, but only came up with some faint images. I think I just fell back asleep, because the computer was never touched. I don't even remember the 6 hour alarm going off. I might have just shut it.
HOWEVER.......
Around 7:45ish I woke up with an urge to go to the bathroom, something that hasn't happened to me during the night for years. I went, then came back, and tried to recall some dreams. 2 fragments and one VERY vivid dream came back to me:
I was in a white minivan, and I went into a deli facing away from the road with my brother. I think I remember driving the minivan, but I'm not sure. I also faintly recall driving around before I went into the deli. The more I think about it, the more I remember, and I can start to see the inside of the deli too.
The rest of this dream segued into this:
I was on a cruise. On the main floor of the ship, there was a little trading post where you could buy just about anything, but also sell the guy stuff. We sold him something I don't remember, a pack of cigarettes my Dad had (even though he doesn't smoke), and then we planned to sell him a t-shirt I had. When my parents took me downstairs to sell it, I unzipped my jacket so he could see the shirt. It was a blue button-down, not what we had intended to sell. So my parents sent me upstairs to look for the shirt, and it could not be found.
My parents also didn't remember a lot of my family memories or things about me, so I began to suspect them of being imposters.
On the ship, there was a theater, with a rather large square lobby, and swinging doors on one side that opened into a hallway leading backstage to the dressing rooms, etc. I decided to explore and went in there, when suddenly the entire cast and band (which was full of all my band friends, and they wore silly marching-band-esque uniforms) for the show walked out into the theater. I got mixed up in them, and ended up sitting in this row of chairs they had set up for the band on the side of the theater. That is where they played from. After the first song, I asked a friend of mind who was playing something in the band, if the actors ever used the chair I was sitting on during the show. He said yes, and I moved to the next chair to my right. It was perfect timing because then a girl came and started using the chair. I remember bending and turning quite a bit as to not interfere.
After that encounter, I ran up to the normal people seats, but the ones in the back, where I hoped there wouldn't be enough ticketholders to fill up the theater.
The dream must have ended shortly after that, because the next thing that I remember is chilling with some people at an old white house in front of the street, with an grassy/gravelly driveway to the left of the house. I remember my viewpoint being slanted and everything looked a bit strange. The layout of the house, in retrospect, reminded me of my Grandmothers.
There's another dream I think I had between then and waking up, but I forgot it already.
So that was my first night of dream recall. The example in which I totally remembered everything sometimes happens to me. I'll have a very, very vivid dream, often strange, and remember it all. I remember having one of these in 1st grade and proceeding to write about it ( i still remember it totally). Hopefully this little skill of vividly recalling and remembering a dream will help in the future.
Soo... yeah.
