Partial Dream Vividness?

[moosehawk]

I've been keeping a DJ for about a month now and things are progressing great (I think). I've gone from waking up to maybe 1 dream fragment every 2 weeks to writing down 3-5 decent quality dreams a night. My problem is I really only recall my visual and emotional senses in NDs. The dream plots I remember usually come from inner awareness and rarely do I remember any conversations if I have them at all. I rarely recall other sounds, physical sensations or smells (Although in the LDs I've had it seems like there's an switch that immediately flips on these other senses). I'd like to know if there are any tips or exercises I could perform to increase these other senses to help make my dreams more vivid?

well,i think that practising ADA,which is a tech that makes you more aware of your environment,activating all of your senses,will makes you more aware of your dreams also,those making your dreams more vived nad eventually having DILD LDs without even using RCs,a lot of people reported to have more vived dream using this tech,althought it's for having ld's,here take a look http://www.dreamviews.com/f49/all-da...gyoshi-113253/

Ultimately the goal is to become consistently lucid. I've been practicing MILD for about a week now with 3 LDs so far but they were all on the same night. I think I'll continue to perform my daily WBTB/MILD routine and give ADA a try to compliment it during the day. I tried ADAing as much as I could yesterday and I noticed a bit more vividness in my dreams last night. Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the tip it gets even better from now on,also,people reported to have more vived dreams after eating food that contains vitamin B6,like banana,milk....

I take B6 every night before bed and I typically get a good amount of dairy in my daily diet (If I don't, I chug milk with the B6). I've seen a noticeable difference in the quantity of the dreams I recall for sure, and maybe even the quality.
