Thread: Confused big time

I've also had this same exact experience recently, only watching the dream and being able to feel my body. I've never done a WILD before but from how people describe it this sounds very similar. I would guess it works like a WILD too, if you keep focusing on it it'll become a full blown dream.

Yeh, thanks for the help guys I guess I was really close to a real lucid dream. Oh well, I haven't been able to remember any dreams for like three nights, I've been keeping a journal, do you know if it is more beneficial to write in the journal write after you sleep? Do you guys have any tips on improving dream recall?

I've had a couple of similar experiences. However, instead of watching the LD, I could feel both my sleeping body, which wasn't moving, and my dream body, which was walking on a concrete floor of my old middle school. If you had relaxed and focused on the dream, you could have possibly re-entered it lucid.

As for a dream journal, it is very helpful to write down a dream right after you wake up, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to go into every detail at that time. Write down a summary and fill in the details later. As for tips on improving recall, just keep recording your dreams. Be persistent and your memory for dreams WILL increase.
