      My dreams feel disconnected

      I don't really know how to describe it.... I hear people talking about being in a dream and doing something, and then waking up and finding themselves in bed. My dreams never really work like that - when I wake up, I always feel very disconnected from my dream. I don't really feel like I just came from a dream and now am sleeping in my bed, it seems like something from far in the past or something that didn't really happen.

      Man, sorry if that was a bit hard to follow heh, but I don't know how to word it. If anybody can decipher my post and has some insight I'd be all ears. I would really like to feel like my dreams are more real. Maybe I just neeed to work on my recall some more.

      I agree on increasing recall. As I said in the increasing dream realism post... recall is a big factor of it. Are you keeping a dream journal? Most people just write down the main points of their dreams... make sure to write down lots of details. If you write in excruciating details it will be even better.

      Also, make sure you have a strong intention to have real time recogniton of your dream, as opposed to "I hope my dreams aren't like this tonight." I understand what you're describing... and it's like having not really experienced something during the time it was happening, just remember it all happening.

      So the main things to do are get really strong dream recall and have a strong intention.

      Right now I am about 50/50. Half of my dreams seem to be like I am experiencing them, the other have are like I am just watching it all happen. I agree that dream recall is probably key. Improving my recall is my top priority right now, with hopes of another Lucid as a bonus.

      recall > all

      I am glad you are improving. Just keep it up ^____^
