Thread: Strange recall phenomena (sp?)

Right, I woke up this morning and was pissed, not only did I not have a lucid...I didn't even dream, a few minutes later I remembered I did dream and wrote it down accordingly. Anyway it seems now that this happens every morning, but now I am also remembering dreams from months ago that I didn't know I had, has anyone else had a similar experience?

its really strange how it just seems easier to recall all the dreams that had intrigued me but eluded me....now it feels like i have a systematic way to recall these dreams...almost like they are now memories

ya. when i was starting to get my recall down a bit, i would wake up and not remember a damn thing. then all of a suddon it would just pop in my head or when i go to the bathroom some would just pop in again. ya thats way normal

It always happens like this.

Either I wake up and immediately remember the dream, and forget it later unless I write it down.

Or it all comes to me at once several minutes, or hours after I wake. Like, the entire storyline just floods in and I now have this perfect memory of what happened.

Mostly the latter.

Oh yeah, ti happens. I wake up and remember nothing, so I get down and do something else, breakfast whatever. Then all of a sudden a picture pops in to my head, and I think "hey, that's from my dream!", and then I just go around that picture and I remember the dream. Of course I remember it better if I wkae up and just remember it directly. I didn't remember the dream I had this night. I hope it pops up soon.

Most of the time I wake up so suddenly due to my alarm clock I'll instantly forget all of the dreams I had.
Then I get fragments of the dream/s during the day, sparked by various things (ie. if the dream was me buying a present for a friend, seeing that friend would trigger my recall.)

(I'm not sure if anyone said this already, I can't be bothered to read each reply more specifically) But you dream every night, several dreams. It's just a matter of recall.
But today, It was way past my awakening, 3-4 hours, I was relaxing, just sitting there very relaxed mind empty. Then I recalled 2 dreams, small ones but still, I thought that was weird.
