Do you think improving your general memory would improve dream recall? How would you improve general memory? I bought this memory book to help me with work and its got great techniques for remembering things which really work but thats all it helps with - remembering specific things, the techniques have to be used with things, which you cant do in a non lucid dream. It doesnt increase general memory power so anyone know how to do this or if its possible? All I can think of is going over the day in your head as vividly as possible before sleeping. |

good point! i think youre right, i just remembered theres that prospective memory training thing in EWLD too. I realised i can apply the memory techniques from that memory book to dreaming too, its pretty simple really, duh! Its basically what you would do anyway - associate dreamsigns with doing reality checks, nothing new really, but instead of just saying 'I will do a reality check next time .......' in your head, make a ridiculous mental picture which links a dreamsign with checking reality, I dunno what Id use as a mental picture for RC yet, maybe a watch? so..police appear quite often in my dreams, so maybe id picture a copper covered in millions of watches...really see the picture and go over it everyday to reinforce it. Its nothing original but i think it makes it stick in my mind more than just telling myself to RC when i see the rozzers. It can be applied to everything like remembering to lock the front door - picture sticking your head in the keyhole or something. I know this works really well with other things from personal experience, maybe it would work while dreaming too. |

I think just applying yourself in trying to remember your dreams will help you improve on remembering them. I read three books on improving memory, and the last one I read was the best one because it's based on scientific studies (I read about it on CNN, and downloaded an ebook version of it from amazon.com). It based on the fact that doing some mental workout helps your brain improve it's ability to remember. It sort of rewires itself and become better. |

Good that someone else started this topic. |

Sounds like a ploy to get your money to me. I bet the placebo effect is enough to make your memory better. I don't know... |

Well I even thought of using a kind of placebo. |

If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow...
Oily fish are good, mackerel, sardines etc i think mayonnaise has that omega thing in it too. Ginkgo Biloba is supposed to increase memory and concentration too. That book 'The Memory Book' is amazing, if someone takes 1 card out of a pack of 52 cards and reads the others back to me I can tell them what their card is just by remembering the others! I should start playing poker... Havent really used it with dreams yet though, been busy revising for exams |

i have been using mnemomics to remember my dream signs. occasionally i mistake my associated images with the dream signs i remember, but i attain lucidity all the same. |

Lol a placebo won't work if you make it yourself. |
