      one good dream a night is great. if you want to improve just keep up with the dream journal and be sure to write your dreams down when you wake up. also if you want to properly introduce yourself there's a forum for that right up there at the top.

      welcome to the forums.
      clear eyes. strong hands.

      HELLO alienwer84

      There is never really a time limit to these things . It could happen tonight it could take a week or more. the point is keep your mind open to all.
      As far as dream recall. It starts with a dream journal. Record your dreams as soon as you wake up. Yes it is hard, but it is necissary to improve dream recall.

      Check out the tutorials!

      You can't just jump into lucid dreaming and expect the rewards to come all at once. The time it takes is different for everyone; it could take months, depending on how good your natural dream recall ability is. But like Howetzer said, keep a dream journal! It's BY FAR the most important step towards lucid dreaming.

      Welcome!

      It is easier to remember more dreams after you have worked with dream recall for a little time.

      If you are looking for techniques to remember more dreams, you can try one ore several of this techiques:

      Here is a list of tips and techniques that will help increase your dream recall:

      1.) Wake Motionlessly. Upon awakening, don't open your eyes. Don't move. Lie completely still. *

      2.) Wake Slowly. Allow yourself time to naturally remember your dreams. Don't start thinking about what you are going to do for the day. Don't allow your mind to be flooded by your waking thoughts or your dreams will start fading or may even disappear entirely like bursting dream bubbles. Let your mind be focused on whatever you were just dreaming. *

      3.) Let your mind drift. Allow your thoughts to meander through whatever mental imagery you may have. Once you remember one part of a dream. Relax and allow the rest of the pieces to fall into place. *

      4.) Drift through your dream checklist. If you have absolutely no initial recall, then start running through a dream checklist in your mind. This list should include people you know, activities, places, foods, smells, music, anything that may trigger a dream fragment to surface. Allow your mind to drift through this list and ask yourself if this person or this place was in your dream. Movement is very common in dreams so try to think about action. Were you walking or running or climbing or flying? Emotions are also very prevalent so try to think about your moods. Were you happy or afraid or surprised or confused? The more familiar you are with your dreams the better you will know which questions will most likely trigger your memory, but in the beginning you can use any list as long as it is a big one. *

      4.) Think and question backwards. Try to work your memory backwards from what you can remember. You will usually remember the most current dream scenario first so for maximum retrieval it is helpful to think backwards, or think in terms of effect and cause instead of cause and effect. If you can remember one part of the dream, ask yourself how you got there? Or where did a certain dream object come from? Did you find it? Was it given to you? One dream fragment will usually lead to another until the whole dream starts to take shape, and your dream memories can be jogged by questioning yourself about what you already remember. *

      5.) Try different sleeping positions. Try all your common sleeping positions before getting out of bed to maximize your recall. You will have the best recall when you are lying in the same position that you were in when you were dreaming. If you wake up on your right side don't move until you recall all you possibly can, and then repeat this process on your left side, then your back, and your front. This may jar loose some memories and it certainly speeds up your recall. *

      6.) Keep Trying. Sometimes, you may have no morning recall but flashes of dream memories will surface during your day. Be prepared to jot down any time-released memories. They may unlock your access to more memories. *

      Good luck.

      Hi there!

      Welcome to Dream Views. You seem to be doing very well at the moment, when I started out, and until this moment, I have very bleak dream recall. As adidas said, one dream a night is good, and eventually it will become better. I would also ask you to post in the correct format, however, if you are new to computers and forums, or English is not your first or best language, this is OK.

      Human, where did you get that from?
      [22:59] <Kaniaz> You basically did a massive shit on the rug of this IRC
      [22:59] <Kaniaz> And called it a message
