Thread: Memory: the Forgotten Fundamental

^^ Again, accessing your memory is not about achieving lucidity; you can certainly know you are dreaming without remembering a thing. Accessing memory is also not a tool or technique for transitioning from NLD to LD. It is simply the completion of bringing your entire self into the dream, and lucidly benefitting from that completion.

That said, I think you cannot be aware that there is a real environment beyond the dream without accessing your memory.

I agree, memory is definitely needed.
