Recall BEFORE attempting lucid dreaming

**Taffy** · 03-25-2011 02:55 AM

Before I started lucid dreaming I remembered about 1 dream every 6 months... Now i can remember about 1-2, but i was just wondering, was that a really low number, or average? How many could you recall before you started lucid dreaming?

1-2 a night. Other wise you won't remember your lucids. Duh?

I mean before you found out about it. Like before you had to improve your recall.

Good. I've never had any trouble

Around 4-7/day, of course. Its always been good, thankfully.

Some tips maybe?

Probably around 1 a month. Started working on dream journals about 5 days ago and the past 3 days I have remembered small details of about 1 dream a night. So it's clearly working.

I probably had one every other day or so, I've always have had a good amount of dreams.

Now I have too many and it's annoying, waking up multiple times each night remembering a dream each time. It sucks, I usually only write what I can remember when I wake up.

That's quite a low number, at least in my opinion. Not to worry - make sure you're writing in your dream journal every single night, even if it's just "didn't remember any dreams". I've also read a lot of good things about keeping a waking journal, but I haven't tried this myself.

To answer your question, I'd try to aim for getting a fairly consistent ~1 dream every night before getting distracted by techniques

That's what I did.
