Lemme explain, a thing that is the prerequisite to LD is dream recall, because 'you can have a lucid dream and don't know about it'. I think it's false. Last year my dream recall was at rock bottom, i probably recall like 10 dreams in total, 5 lucid. Now, this year (mean 2019) i focused on dream recall. While the total of dreams remembered increased the LD didn't. I think when your brain automatically remembers it when you're lucid dreaming. If you have any thoughts about it don't hesitate posting it.
