Priory to consciously attempting to improve my dream recall I'd say my abilities were above average. I'd usually remember several fragments most mornings and only rarely would a day go by that I wouldn't remember anything form the previous night.
At least once a month I'd experience a particularly vivid dream and would awake with the associated emotions still in tact. The vividness would remain with me for the entire day.
Been reading about LD for about a month now and keeping a DJ for last 4 nights. I'm concentrating solely on improving dream recall although I am aware of RC methods and lucid induction techniques.
My dream recall has got progressively worse each night with last night's recall amounting to a few fragments. I'm really struggling to recall dreams during my nightly awake periods and usually get nowhere and fall back to sleep.
But, they do so patience is a virtue and no more truer than on the path of LD so I shall perceiver. I think I'm doing all the right things and see no reason to change my approach.
Just wanted to have a moan and note my progress thus far. Hopefully I'll be able to update this post with more +ve results as time goes by.
