And when you set your intention at bedtime, add a simple “I will remember” to your stated plans.
The theory being out of habit that will manifest during a reality check in a dream and have the potential to connect with waking memory? Perhaps by leading to a dead-end in backward dream time and trigger an insight/realization of waking life, thereby providing a frame of reference to contrast the two realities and increasing lucidity in respect to memory?
