Thread: Experience vs Recall, fragmented dreams...

I agree with Sageous for the most part but I have found that not caring during the dream about recall has led me to forgetting the parts I felt were important before. If you are more focused on present and future how do you soak things in? But If it was memorable I could see why it would stick in your mind more. However, if it wasn't memorable but still important than i guess you do need to slow down and take the time to experience with a calm mind.I tend to change dream scenes a lot and am very active within the dream but staying put more and soaking it in sounds more like a productive and not like a regrettable idea. Im not gonna lie though, I felt bad for the way i recall long lucids after I read your post Sageous but I realize that it just fit my lucid dreaming habit and personality more. The good and the bad. So I will work on being calmer from now on cause being too active led me to some regrets of what I could have done.

Also, I think Him's point about structure is good. Having stuff in your dreams that flow and are easy to make connections makes it easier to recall. If you just tend to be a forgetful person
than it could help too.
