I am still working on having my first real Lucid Dream. I am getting worried because I am not very good at remembering my dreams *I just started*. I was able to remember my dream last night *and it was about Dream Recall (Read my DJ* so maybe it was a sign that I will be able to remember my dreams more. But my worry is, What if I have my first Lucid Dream and it is amazing, but I don't remember it. Is it easier to remember normal dreams?
The awareness itself usually makes lucid experiences more memorable, but one way to help (aside from simply keeping at it) is to lie in bed completely still upon awakening and go over the dream in your mind. Once you've memorized all you can, immediately write it down.
I tend to find lucid dreams much easier to remember. They just feel different, it's like a regular dream feels like a recording that I think back to after waking from it, while a lucid dream feels to me much more like real life, its got a sort of "right here right now" feel to it like being awake. And for this I tend to remember them more similary to how how I would a real life event, a bit weaker perhaps but certainly closer to real life than a regular dream.
I get the occasional lucid where I forget most of it but these tend to be very weak dreams where it didn't last and I didn't really take much, if any, control.
Good luck on your first lucid, and I'm sure you'll be more confident about remembering them after it.
dat grammar mhhm
Actually, I do remember Lucid dream much easier (probably they are more exciting THAN regular dreams)
Anyway, it depends tho.
There's no need to worry, when you have an lucid dream you won't forget it. Lucid dreams are much easier to remember than ordinary dreams, simply because your awareness is higher. I can still vividly recall lucids I had months ago. Do what splodeymissle suggested though, his advice is good.
I only had 2 LDs, several nights ago. I can still recall every single detail of them. Since you are IN the dream, fully aware of yourself and your surroundings, it's much easier to remember it. They're just much more vivid than other dreams.
The dreams I remember best, are those I have in the morning. So maybe it's best to try to LD in the morning.
Like Splodeymissile said: when you wake up, lie still and trie to tell yourself what you remember. Do it out loud if it helps you, and if you don't wanna do it out loud, make clear phrases in your head. If you forget things, don't panic. When you have repeated your entire dream, go and write it down. Often I remember even more while I'm writing, because then I'm reliving the dream completely.
I hope this was of any use to you :)
Thanks it actually helped alot.
I think any dream that gives you excitement upon waking up is quite memorable especially a lucid dream :)
Lucid dreams are indeed generally easier to remember, especially if your awareness is high and you do many interesting things. Still keep DJ and keep practicing recall though, having better recall helps in many ways. :)
A dream is just a dream...an LD is an alternate reality...doubt you will forget it!
