      Lucidity = Remembrance?

      Well last night I had the first lucid dream I have had in a while.. It was very short as I got a little too excited and stuffed it up, so this is how it went.

      Every once in a while I will have a lucid dream without doing anything special. I just kinda wake up and realise things are a little strange and then I realise I can do what I want. So I was walking at school and for some reason new I was dreaming. The moment this happened I started planning what I was going to do.. I got a little excited and started slipping out of the dream then someone threw a ball at me and that made me wake up (inside the dream).

      After this I was back asleep within minutes. I slipped into another dream but this time I was not lucid. The dream was based on the book I had been reading earlier the night.

      The next time I woke up was in the morning and I was happy that I has finally remembered a non-lucid dream. So I thought I would share these question with you guys.

      1. Do you always remember lucid dreams?

      And

      2. If you have lucid dreams then a normal one does it help you to remember the non-lucid somehow? Are they somehow connected? Am I actually lucid in my second dream without realising or remembering?

      Sorry for adding a little on the second question but I am very curious. Thanks heaps guys!

      1. Of course not
      2. It actually may help you to remember by bringing up a place, object or anything, that suddenly makes you remember a dream. You can also remember back to most, if not every dream you ever had in lucid dreams by various ways, like asking DCs. Simply ask them what did you dream on X day, or ask that what lucids did you have that you can not remember.

      Nah dude you dont always remember them. And it depends on your mindeset if having more lucid dreams than non lucid helps you remember the non-lucid. Personally, for me, I usually remember the Lucid Dream if i just woke up from it(obviously haha) but In a way I think having lucid dreams will increase your ability to remember dreams in general, but like i said it all depends on your mindset.

      I think in a good LD with high awareness we will be more likely to remember it just because of that awareness, but the lower level LDs (like when you know it's a dream but can't control anything and just go with it) have about the same recall rate as a normal dream. That seems to be how it works for me at least.

      Your ability to remember things in non-lucids is pretty much the same as lucids. If you have good recall, you will remember both very well. If not, then you won't!

      Your awareness of the non-lucid may have been at a low base state after your lucid, so yes, it may have helped you recall that non-lucid.

      I once woke up all excited with the thought "I did it! I had a lucid dream!" But no matter how hard I tried that is all I could recall. So yes, I think we can forget lucid dreams.

      As for whether a lucid dream makes it more likely to remember a non-lucid? Not sure about that. It could be that your mind is better at remembering dreams that night anyway. Or it could be that the lucidity improves recall chances. There is definitely a relationship between lucidity and recall. We know that one is more likely to have a lucid dream when one's dream recall is better. But i am not sure whether the relationship goes both ways: whether lucidity also improves dream recall.

      Either way, as others have said, it is more likely that we will recall a high awareness lucid than a low awareness lucid.
      You may say I'm a dreamer.
