I'm starting to get a bit frustrated with my dream recall. I started getting back into LDing this month on the 9th, and I've been progressively getting more detailed dreams since then. Until 5 days ago, when I smoked just a teeny bit of weed. Ever since then, I had 3 days in a row with no recall at all, followed by last night where I used the WBTB method and recalled some very small glimpses of my dreams. |

Haha yeah, no more weed for me. I didn't think smoking a small amount would impact dream recall for such a long period of time. |

If you wake yourself from the Lucid (as opposed to lose lucidity, or false awaken) then recall should be very good for at least most of the lucid time. If you don't wake up from or right after the Lucid it could be lost but generally would still be easier to recall, since you can remember not just content, but also your awareness and decisions you made etc. |

Sure LUCID DREAMS are all fun and games until someone loses a third eye.
Yes, you'll see once you get lucid |

Well, last night I broke my dry spell with the help of some melatonin and remembered 4 relatively detailed dreams. In the first dream, I even briefly questioned whether I was dreaming, then decided that I wasn't haha. Hopefully my dream recall keeps up, and this isn't purely a result of taking melatonin since I can see myself growing a dependence on it just to fall asleep. |

Good for you! It's so easy to be seduced into thinking that there is an easier way. I'm discovering that even with all the technologic advances, they add VERY LITTLE to the frequency or degree of lucidity. As is often the case, the wanting of something soon leads to the realization that the possessing of that thing (in this case the REM-Dreamer) isn't all that big an advantage. With a phenomena as personal and ethereal as lucidity, electro-mechanical devices may SOUND efficacious, but often prove not NEARLY as effective as the right mental training. |
|
The main appeal to these gadgets, for me, is the idea that they provide a shortcut or an aid to lucidity. But if there is a steep learning curve to using those gadgets, then that kind of defeats the purpose IMO. After all, it's more beneficial to invest time into cultivating more awareness. |
