It might be a good idea, Adrez, if you think of recall not as a tool for becoming lucid specifically, but rather as a tool for bringing dreams into your waking-life in a general way. After all, if you remember more dreams, you are adding a substantial amount of conscious experience to your life overall that you otherwise would have missed.

So yes, good recall is helpful to successful LD'ing, especially if you are practicing MILD, but its value, in my opinion, goes way beyond just helping with LD'ing.
