When I first started practice I was obsessed with dream recall and eventually got to a point where I could wake myself after every dream period and remember at least 1 decent dream scene. I enjoyed a lot of vividly remembered dreams but I was spending around 5-10 minutes recalling the dreams and then another 5-10 minutes falling back asleep. When added up over the course of the night I was losing over an hour of sleep which wasn’t healthy or sustainable and lead to exhaustion quite quickly. These days I opt to only recall in the last 2-3 hours of sleep instead. I find I’m well rested at this time and can still recall a few decent dreams each morning if I put the effort in. Obviously sleep is important but I do miss those old days when I was recalling a lot more and wonder if doing it was beneficial to my practice as I never get lucid in the early hours anymore which I did sometimes back then. I hear mixed advice on this so I’m wondering what people consider the norm?
