Just as the title says...are there any LDers out there with photographic memory?

I had one friend who has a photographic memory. And yes I didnt believe here so we tested it with playing cards and she proved to me she did.

I was AMAZED

Well anyway it wasnt till later I discovered Lucid dreaming. I told her about it and how I could control my dreams and everyone could do it. I told her that her ability may help alot because of the details she remembers.

Nonetheless she was AMAZED I could control my dreams. But she never got into trying it or if she did i never heard any success stories.

Also there is another ability when you remember everything called superior autobiographical memory. This is where a person can remember everything and everyday of their life perfectly. there is a link that explains that ability here if DV allows it: Marilu Henner's Super-Memory Summit - 60 Minutes Overtime - CBS News

So is there anyone here in dreamviews with an extra special gift, If so does it help your LDs?

Don't have any of those, but have natural recall so was always able to remember several dreams per night, it didn't help much to become lucid other than remembering all the trial and error I went through. Don't know if this helps.

I have a fairly good memory of events, but nowhere near superhuman levels. My girlfriend has a bad memory and don't recall much. Not sure how related the two are but as you can increase your recall by dream yoga they should be pretty closely related.

Does phonographic memory count? 'Cause I can memorize a song in one hearing quite consistently. And I can sing any of 8,000+ songs I own pretty much perfectly.
