Try this, it looks time-consuming but it really just take me a few minutes when I come home from school. Give it a chance, it have helped some people in this thread anyway. |

Help with dream recall
I've been keeping a dream journal for almost two weeks now, and so far I have 7 entries. They are mostly very vague, and for the last 3 days I haven't remembered anything. I'm sure this is normal, but I have a very irregular sleep pattern unfortunately, which isn't something I can get around. I've tried to set an alarm to go off ten minutes before I have to get up, and to go off softly, but it's gotten to the point where I just unconsciously turn it off, forgetting the dreams in the process. I also don't really have any time at all during the day to do anything time intensive, so anything that takes time I can't do (weekends are much easier). Is there any way I can improve my dream recall without taking time out of my daily life other than writing a dream journal?

I would try it, if I had time. The whole porblem is that, except on weekends, I don't have time.

Try an autosuggestion
Well, then you can make up a mantra like "I will remember my dreams the next morning" or "I will have a lucid dream and remember it upon awakening"
It's called MILD look it up in the tutorial section. It doesn't take any time becuase you do it when you go to bed.
1. go to bed
2. when you fall asleep repeat your mantra and believe it, it's important.
3. if you start to think about something else return to your mantra
If you can't fall asleep while doing this, just say it 3 times and believe it then fall asleep normaly.

Just as MasterMind said, the key to the MILD method isn't just saying that you will remember your dreams and have a lucid dream, but that you genuinely expect to have a lucid dream, that night or the next night. You have to get your body and mind relaxed, releasing all your tensions and concerns, then have that be a thought that comes into your mind, so you're focused only on that. I recommend the Flex-freeze as described here by KingYoshi in his WILD tutorial. Just look at step 2, and do that. It relaxes you bodily and mentally, getting you ready for such techniques as MILD.

I'm not on DV much these days, but I'll try to toss a cool dream or two into my DJ.
