I have alway had problems with my memory, but I noticed that it had improved a bit since I started dream recall. I don't know if anyone can back me up on this. Maybe I am imagining things, but that's what seems to be happening. |

"Neuroimaging studies show that the part of the brain that is responsible for short term, or working memory - the prefrontal cortex - is largely inactive during the REM sleep. It is as if the brain is not supposed to remember dreams or is essential to its functioning." |

When I learned of lucid dreaming, my initial impression was that this is the way we were meant to dream. it should be as naturel are breathing, but sometime or another, our society placed less emphasis on the sleeping hours of our life, and Lucid dreaming was by in large, forgetton by the people. I always viewed sleeping as a waste of time. as merely something I HAVE to do. Until lucid dreaming came into the picture. Then my entire view point changed. Now I anticipate my nightly journeys. I enjoy the time I sleep, as well as the time I wake. yeah, I guess what I'm trying to say here. is that LD balanced my life somewhat. So yes, I believe we "should" lucid dream. |

I agree. Over the years I have also had less and less sleep. The time I went to bed stayed the same, but with school, I just had to wake up earlier and earlier over the years. Walking at like 5 or 6 sucks |

I think lucid dreaming and working on dream recall has improved my mess of a memory a little bit. I also agree that it is the way we are supposed to dream, I think children should be taught, I bet a child that is aware of lucid dreaming and the ability to control their dreams would be profoundly different from the kids these days. I think society needs it too, we live in such a stressful world and many sleep just because they have to, they miss out on all the benefits of lucidity, one can really destress in a lucid dream... |

I also had alot more dreams (and most likely lucid ones) when I was younger. If lucid dreams were how dreams are supposed to be, then why aren't they mostly lucid? It could have something to do with how over thousands of years our brains have gotten significantly larger. Who knows, maybe dogs and monkeys always have lucid dreams! |

Also, if theres just a part of your brain thats constricting lucid dreaming, dream recall might help you to fight through the part of your brain tahts causing some people to not have lucid dreams. So eventually, lucid dreaming wouldn't be as hard. |

Nice avatar Bladus, and yes Seri, I think that would affect a childs life in great ways. Although there are some ramifacations, I mean, a perverted person could misuse lucid dreamin. Say for solely erotic fantasies. I think when you have to work for it, you respect it more. I dunno, maybe I'm just being paranoid. I just think it might be a tiny bit risky. When you have extremely vivid dreams, and you do something like killing it feels very real. Whats to stop a kid from developing a taste for that? |

ive never done very good in school whenever it comes to memorizing facts...i might be logically intelligent, but memorization > me...but since i've started lucid dreaming and recalling my dreams (without a dreamjournal), ive been able to sleep during lectures, and i can memorize things, while sleeping, better than most can awake...people hate me for it ^^ ...but seriously its helped me tons, i have a near impeccable memory of anything people say around me while i sleep, anybody else get this? either way it r0xx |

yeah-WerBurn said- i have had a hard time in school memorizing facts, and i suck in the area of Mathmatics; but i also think that it helps a litle with my memory. |
