Thread: remembering

To me, it SEEMS way easier to remember lucids. It's kind of hard to say because if you forget it you never really know.

I usually have to struggle a bit to put my normal dreams back together. The lucids are almost always fully intact when I wake.

Since my lucid dreams are via WILDs (which means I enter the dream consciously), they are definately easier to remember as long as I wake up once the lucid dream ends and write it down. If I don't write it down and simply fall back asleep (whether into a non-lucid dream or into no dreams), it is really hard to vividly recall my lucid dream.. I may only recall snippets of it.

I can usually recall my non-lucid dreams pretty well as long as I 1) don't move once I wake up from them, 2) take some time to recall what took place and then 3) write them down.

Same with me. After I wake up from a lucid dream I find it way easier to remember what happened. I think it's because you are more conscious when your lucid so, I would believe that it would be right to remember your dreams more when you’re lucid then non- lucid. But then again I always find Lucid dreams to be more memorable then a non- lucid so that could add on to why I remember Lucid dreams more. Though, personally I have always had a good dream recall so there is a fine difference but not far apart by remembering the two. It just takes more work to remember a non lucid then a lucid. At least in my case.
