Why does dream recall improve so quickly ?

when we set our intention to remember our dreams, we usually have a quick improvement in our ability to do so
Usually within a week or so of good sleep hygiene and proper intention to recall dreams i am remembering at least 2 or dreams per night

i wonder if this amazing improvement in this ability to do something immediately after one wakes up can be transfered to the period before waking up or during the dream
and i wonder what specific adjustment will enable one to do that more effectively

Stay safe

I have always assumed it was that part of our mind finds dreams unimportant until we focus on them. It perhaps then adjusts easily to the new focus we are placing on them.

Expect that your recall comes in waves. There are times when you will have great recall and other times you will have a harder time remember some dreams. It happens to everyone.
