First major dream recalled!

I've been trying to recall my dreams for about a week now, and tonight I had a really clear dream which I remember almost perfectly! :banana:

I used an alarm clock to wake up 6 hours after I got to bed, but no luck there; I didn't remember a thing. I sighed and went back to bed while telling myself "I will remember a dream tonight" in swedish, and eventually fell asleep again.

About 4 hours later, I woke up straight from a dream, and I could recall it at once!

I know this doesn't seem like much to you experienced LDers, but to me this is a huge step towards LDing since my recall is usually really bad.

I'm not going to go into details of the dream itself here, instead I'm gonna try making a Dream Journal in the appropriate forum.

Edit: adding a link to my Dream Journal, http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...57#post1319457

Congratulations! :) That is actually a very good thing, because if that happens again, you can perform a DEILD and enter back into the same dream fully lucid!

Here is a link for the DEILD tutorial.

Best of luck, and happy dreaming!

dreams like that are a great because that means you have the opportunity to continue them from where they left off

the tutorial that muggler posted explains all that stuff, is good stuff...

so does that mean you slept for 10 hours? :O

2 hours later, typo*.
...Though there has been occasions when I slept for 10 hours. :P

I love sleeping for that long. But only if I need it. I hate staying up late, and then waking up really late. It's such a waste of a day.

True... unless you have some really nice dreams. :cheeky:

Yeah. But come to think of it, I hardly remember dreams when I sleep for really long periods at a time.
