What could happen is that you'll, probably, will remember nothing. There are users here at the forums that said that dream journal is not necessary, for them. |

Hey everyone. I really want to take up lucid dreaming again (I have not been trying or writing down dreams really for about 2-3 weeks) |

They will still work the same, the DJ is just an aid in the journey of LDing. The techniques should still work the same. |

Haha! Yea, I guess. |

You could always just journal the fun ones. If it's becoming a chore to write down everything, focus less on the dull ones and go for the fun ones. Your recall may take a hit, but it's better than suffering from journal burnout entirely. |
|
I love writing in my dream journal, it's just part of my morning routine. When I first started writing down my dreams I'd have to do it immediately when I woke up... After doing it for so long, my recall has gotten better to the point where I wake up, make a pot of tea, sit down and write before going on to the rest of my morning routine... |

It was the best of times. It was the end of times.
I hardly ever remember enough of my dreams to make it worth a journal post, so I usually end up tweeting them instead. -_-' |

Yea.. I wish I would have the determination to write in my journal and not electronically. Because, my family members might want to look at them.. and I might want to in the future. |

I tossed my offline dream journal because I don't need it anymore. I still try to record my dreams every day online in my workbook. I'd probably have much better recall if I record my dreams offline. |
|
I don't like writing em down much either, so I usually just run through them mentally when I wake up, and spend 5-10 minutes before I get out of bed thinking about them. So long as I do that every morning my recall is fine, and I can still remember dreams days or weeks later. |
|
I cant ever remember non lucid dreams. Sometimes I do but it is rare. If I think about it enough it will get pretty much stuck into my brain and I can remember it. I also dont always right down everything that happens in my dreams only the main points |
|
I accept that my reality is always a dream so if something changes I know I'm right.

If I wake up and try hard enough, I can remember enough about a dream to solidify it in my mind for a while. But, eventually, the dream will fade, and it will be like I never had it in the first place. I'm too interested in many of my dreams to let that happen. |

Yeah, jotting down some notes for later is what I usually do as well. Most of the time I can come back and remember exactly what the dream was about, but sometimes I can't read my handwritting or have absolutley no idea what I wrote down meant lol. But for the most part, it works very well. Just write enough notes so that it will come back to you. |

i love dream journaling with pen ON a paper notebook. problem is..................i dont remember every night so i can't write |
|
I originally wrote down my dreams in explicit detail when I first started if I woke at 4:30 for instance I would write at least a paragraph while this equated to great recall after a few days I was really tired. So I adopted the method I use now. Similar to Oneironaut's I write some notes in the morning in a rough DJ and then before I go to bed I write them up in a my Good DJ. If I neglect my DJ its only the good one so when I feel motivated again I write down my notes that have piled up... |
|
That's what I do. I usually add enough notes to the notes app on my ipod and write everything down in detail later. I love writing though so it's not much of a chore for me |
|
I'm now typing my dreams offline now It's soo much easier. My recall is gradually getting better. |

I have missed writing so many dreams down and forgot about them because it is a chore for me too. But, if you really want to LD, do it. If you want to improve your recall, all you need to do is get your dream journal and read the whole thing while trying to remember the dream you are reading. Nearly every time I do this, my recall is back up to speed that night or maybe 2-3 days. |
|
So this past week I've have not had much recall and it's been bugging me. What I did was I read about 15 of my past dreams and when I fell asleep, I remembered a dream and it was mildly vivid. If you want to lucid dream, you should have one or you will cripple yourself. |
|
Well, my lucid dream count is minuscule but I have journaled over 50 non-lucids. I've often just done recalling the easy way. I'd recall it upon awakening and it would be in my head for a long time before I'd write it down. However, I find that when I am writing, I tend to elaborate a lot more than I do when I lazily think "Oh, I'll just remember now and write later." If I don't write, I will just remember the plot because that brings each scene back to me. |
